London
London
E1 6HU

Digging Out (Excavations).
The area of excavations will first be checked for live services using cat scanners and plans where possible. Any
existing services will be protected or moved as required. The holes are hand dug by two men using pick and
shovel; the excavations will be 1.2metres wide maximum by the appropriate depth for each property. To prevent
the potential for subsidence or collapse a distance of approx 1.2 metres is left in situ and another section of 1.2
metres dug out, the intermediate sections are not dug out until the concrete in the original excavations has been
set for 48 hours.
Plant Levelling & Grading
1. Care will be taken at all time when quick hitch is used to change over buckets, correct procedure will be followed
and a final push test will be carried out to ensure bucket is connected correctly
2. Ensure machine is on a level and stable area
3. Ensuring the appropriate bucket is in use, ballast will be pulled to the agreed depth
4. Surplus ballast will be deposited along the sides of the area as directed
5. Areas that require deeper excavation surplus material to be removed to agreed storage area by means of a
dumper
6. Ballast will be graded until the ground is compacted and to the correct contour
Excavations
Prior to commencement of work The method of support selected needs to take account of the work to be done and
allow for adequate working space. The options for the method of support may also be limited by ground conditions
or the presence of services crossing the trench line. Support will also be required when plant for excavating or
depositing backfill will cause a surcharge on the excavation side.
Whatever the support method selected, an essential part of the method statement is a defined safe method of
work. No person should ever enter an unsupported excavation to install or remove supports. The use of proprietary
support systems which can be installed safely from existing ground level may help in this situation. Smoke head will
be isollated during work time and isollation removed when works area left unattended.
Hand digging
All trench works within 1.5m of the Ouse house plnt room are to be hand dug to expose any existing drainage or
cables.
Materials falling into the excavation
Do not store excavated spoil or other materials or park plant and vehicles close to sides of excavations. The extra
loading from spoil, vehicles etc can make thre sides of excavations more likely to collapse. Loose materilas may fall
from spoil heaps etc into the excavation. A scaffold board used as a toe board and fixed along the outside of the
trench will provide extra protection against loose material falling. Hard hats will protect those working in the
excavation from falling material
People & vehicles fall into excavations
Prevent people from falling by guarding excavations. Edges of more excavations more than 2m deep should be
protected with substantial barriers. Where necessary, use (painted or marked) baulks or barriers to keep vehicles
away from from excavated edges.

Cable containment is an important part ofinstalling a networks infrastructure. The purpose of containment can
befourfold: to support the cables en route, to make subsequent management ofcables easier, to provide isolation of
power and data cabling and also to makethe installation aesthetically pleasing. Typically, products such as
cabletrays, cable ladders, and cable baskets are used to support a cable throughoutthe cabling route and trunking
is used in the final presentation.
The systems below represent some of themain forms of cable containment systems available; however, the list is
notexhaustive and new products are appearing on the market all the time.
CableTray is normally available in a range of light,medium and heavy duty gauges. It is usually galvanised,
although specialfinishes such as powder coating are sometimes used.
WireBasket is a variant of cable tray. It consistsof a basket structure which, although not as structurally strong as
cable tray,is lighter and easier to install. It is commonly used for support of lightcabling such as data and telephone
wiring.
Conduit comes as lengths of robust tube, available in both PVC and Steel.PVC conduit is available in light and
heavy duty grades. Steel conduit isavailable in a galvanised finish or stainless steel.
Miniand Maxi Trunking has a rectangular form and isavailable in various sizes manufactured from PVC and is
suitable for datacabling, fibre cabling or power. Mini style is available in non-adhesive andself-adhesive variants,
Maxi style is a larger and available as non-adhesiveonly.
CompartmentTrunking is manufactured in various profiles,normally with two or more compartments. It can be

obtained as dado trunking,skirting trunking or cornice trunking. Available in PVC, aluminium or steel -compartment
trunking systems are a popular choice in office and similar spaces.
FloorTrunking specially adapted for installationwithin floor voids, or screeds floor trunking commonly has two or
morecompartments enabling segregation and hence is used for 240V services as wellas data and
telecommunication systems. It is often fitted with custom floorboxes.
FloorBoxes commonly installed in conjunction withfloor trunking systems, recessed floor boxes can be installed into
a cavityfloor or screeded floor. They comprise one or more compartments and accessoryboxes which can be used
to terminate many different services at one box.

For timber sub floors:
The sub floor must be flat.
Laying the packs of planks, leave the unopened packs of planks lying horizontally on the floor in the room where
they are to be laid for at least 48 hours so it can acclimatise to the rooms temperature. Planks not to be stored in
direct sunlight.
Works will start to lay the planks. Planks should be laid lengthways, parallel to the longest side of the room and
towards the main incoming source of light if possible. Use spacers to create expansion gaps between the floor and
the wall or skirting.
Start the row by placing the plank with tongue facing the wall. Continue with the first row, using the tongue and
groove to interlock planks, making sure the row is straight and parallel with the wall. If you are laying laminate
flooring in a kitchen or bathroom you will need to apply wood adhesive to all end and side tongue and groove joints.
When the end of row is finished start the next.
Turn it face down and lay it next to the previous plank, tongue to tongue, using spacers to maintain the expansion
gap with the wall.
Use a square to mark a line across it in line with the end of the previous plank.
Cut and position it to complete the first row. Continue to lay planks a row at a time, making sure that joints between
planks in adjacent rows are staggered.
Maintain the expansion gap at the door threshold.
When laying the last row, lay a plank over the previous row. Place a third plank on top with the tongue against the
spacer and use the edge of the plank to mark a line on the plank beneath, cut along the plank and use a hammer
and pull bar to make sure it is tightly in place.
When all the flooring is laid, remove the spacers. The matching threshold strips will be fitted.

width plus/minus 200mm on the designated lengths level to within plus/minus 20mm in 2.0m ( subject to a
maximum deviation of 50mm ).
Lift height plus/minus 150mm on the designated height.
Nodes less than equal to 150mm on the designated height.
METHOD
Before work on the scaffold, all Giraffe Scaffolding operatives involved in the task will be briefed on this
document and sign to accept.
This is the standard that Giraffe Scaffolding set for work that falls under the TG20:13 criteria for all
scaffolding projects.
The operatives will then be given a task briefing on the scaffold being erected. This will be a 2-way
conversation between the Giraffe Scaffolding Supervisor and the scaffolders involved in the erection of the
scaffold.
The briefing will take place on site at the work area. Proof of the briefing will be sent to PC. A hard copy will
be kept in the Giraffe Scaffolding site file.
The scaffold that has been requested requires a design and will be erected in strict compliance with that
design (large internal birdcage) as well as best practice from the TG20:13.
The scaffold material will be transported to the project on a Giraffe Scaffolding scaffold lorries.
Giraffe Scaffolding operatives will access the back of the lorry via a secured ladder and the bed will have a
handrail that will run around the 3 sides for maximum safety.
The lorry will sit in the designated loading area and the scaffold material will be removed from the trailer
manually and transported to the work areas and erected.
The Giraffe Scaffolding vehicle will be maneuvered onto the site through the site entrance by Giraffe
Scaffolding trained traffic marshals and will exit site in the same manner.
Designated Work Area.
Should the situation arise whereby emergency services need to access the road then the vehicle will be
moved out of the way immediately.
The driver will stay on site with the lorry always.
This process will be repeated daily.
The lorry will be marshaled out by Giraffe Scaffolding scaffolders wearing Hi-Vis vests and PPE.
The lorry will comply with the site speed limit when entering or exit the site.
An exclusion zone will be set up around the areas of work.
This will be erected, controlled and monitored by the PC.
The scaffold independent will be erected in strict compliance with the guidelines set out in TG20:13. The
use of hop up brackets or step up brackets will be used to erect an advanced guardrail where applicable.
Scaffolders will be clipped onto to the scaffold always when standing on the hop up brackets. Scaffolders
will always clip on above their heads to a securely fixed point. This will ensure that Giraffe Scaffolding
scaffolders will be working behind the safety of a single handrail always when erecting or dismantling
scaffold on site and that the harnesses are being used correctly.
All power tools on the site will be PAT tested and certification of the in date tools are in the Giraffe
Scaffolding site file. Giraffe Scaffolding use a cold cut reciprocator saw for cutting scaffold tubes and
boards. All scaffold tubes will be secured to a fixed tube low to the floor when cutting so that the off cut falls
directly into a scaffold sack from only a few inches away. If the tube being cut is longer, then a second
scaffolder will hold the off cut as it separates from the cut steel.
There will always be a safe route for access to and from the work area. A ladder access will be erected as
the independent progress to enable safe access to the scaffold at all times. All ladders will be secured
adequately always with ladder ties. All scaffold tubes and fittings that have the potential to cause harm will
be fitted with safety caps. All ladder accesses will have a swing gate or ladder hatch attached to the
entrance/exit of the ladder on all working lifts.
All scaffold operatives will be fully compliant with the site rules PPE policy always.
The scaffolds will be erected with safety as the primary concern at all times. Giraffe Scaffolding operatives
erecting or dismantling the scaffolds will work on a safe platform with adequate fall prevention. Scaffolders
must be standing on a minimum of 3 scaffold boards and be behind a single guardrail unless the area is too
small and 3 scaffold boards do not fit. If the situation may arise where a safe working platform cannot be
erected scaffolders will be clipped on to ensure maximum safety or erect as many boards as possible
depending on the space in which the scaffold is being erected. Giraffe Scaffolding operatives will stop work
and report to their supervisor if the working environment changes from when the daily task briefing was
carried out or where their safety may be put at risk from situations being carried out on site by other trades.
All fittings used in the erections of the scaffolds conform to BSEN-74 regulations.
The top lift of the scaffold independent will be fully guard railed and toe boarded.
There will always be a safe means of access to and from the scaffold during the erection or dismantle. This
will be via a ladder secured to the scaffold with ladder ties.
All ladders used in any scaffold will protrude 1m past the scaffold boards as stated in SG4:15. Where a
ladder cannot fit due to space, an alternative fixed rail will be installed to accommodate where the ladder
would have been.
Giraffe Scaffolding scaffolders have had in-house manual handling training and are aware of the correct
means of picking up or placing down scaffold components.
Operatives are advised to only pick up weights that they are comfortable with or to share the load if need
be.
When passing scaffold components to pairs of hands will always be on the tube at the point of interchange.
No tubes/boards or scaffold fittings are to be dropped or thrown to or from the scaffold at any time. Where
necessary a secure pulley system will be fixed to the scaffold to hoist material up. This will be set up within
our exclusion zone.
The scaffold will be handed over to PC and a hand over sheet will be signed by both Giraffe Scaffolding and
PC and copies will be filed by each party for their records.
On completion of any scaffold, it will be inspected and scafftagged to show that it is in good working order
and compliant with PC requirements. The scaffold will then be inspected as a minimum every 7 days
thereafter, this will be the PC responsibility to organise.

5. Setting up of temporary offices movement of furniture
Before any works commence all operatives will receive a siteinduction and issued with a security pass.
The CompanyName Logistics Manager will then give all operatives an Company Name Company(site specific)
Induction, for which they will sign Company Name Induction register.
The Logistics Manager will issue any PPE that is prescribedor that is required for the Logistics work, (goggles,
gloves, ear defenders,masks etc.).
No person will bepermitted on site without the site prescribed PPE.
Once completed, all operatives will be given a toolbox talkon relevant method statements and all associated risk
assessments andapplicable COSHH and manual handling assessments. The toolbox talk will not begiven as read,
but will highlight the major safety requirements of the methodstatement and the required safe systems of work.
The operatives will then be informed of the specific riskshighlighted through the assessments carried out and how
we require theoperatives to actively participate in implementing the assessed controlmeasures. The Logistics
Manager will then ask all operatives if they understandwhat has been told to them and if they want to ask any
questions about themethod statement and risks assessed.
When finished, all operatives will then sign the toolboxtalk register to confirm their understanding of the method
statement and riskassessments and to prove that the talk has actually taken place.
The Logistics Manager will then issue a copy of this methodstatement and risk assessments as a term of reference
for them. A copy of thiswill also be placed in the work area for any person to view or refer to.
The first activity will be for the Logistics Manager tosurvey the required working area(s) to ensure that there are no
major hazardsthat will affect the Logistics operatives. The Logistics Manager will belooking for slip, trip & fall
hazards, he will also be ensuring that thereis safe access and egress to the place of work and that there is no
interfacethat would compromise Alandale or any other third party.
If there are any interface problems or specific risk thenthis will be brought to the attention of those concerned
before work commences.Once satisfied, the Logistics Manager will allow the Logistics operatives worksto
commence.
Where the works may cause hazards to a third party the workarea(s) will be segregated to ensure that no
unauthorised persons can enter thearea. This will be achieved by means of physical barriers in the form of
eitherscaffolding or pedestrian barriers. Strategically placed signage will be placedto warn all others of our
presence and our work intentions. The entire areawill then be checked by the Logistics Manager to ensure the
integrity of thebarriers and to ensure that it is sufficient to protect and warn all thirdparties and provide
CompanyName with adequate working boundaries for the operations.

keep the cubicles fully stocked with toilet tissue andwash areas with soap and hand towels. Whererequired
COSHH Assessments will be carried out for all relevant cleaningmaterials used and the necessary PPE will be
issued. Toolbox talks will becarried out weekly and recorded accordingly.
COSHH cleaningagents will be stored in a lockable container when not being used which is tobe secured at all
times.
Hoist Drivers
Onlyqualified Hoist Operators are to operate the hoists. Copies of relevantcertificates are to be held in the Logistics
Office. Prior to operation allHoist Operatives are to receive instructions on the method of operation andrelevant risk
assessments.
Ahoist-lifting plan (including emergency procedures), will be drafted,communicated to the hoist operators and
displayed within the hoist.
Hoistdriver are to carryout daily inspections of hoists and report any faults to theLogistics Manager. Should any
faults found of a serious nature, the hoist willcease operation until the fault has been rectified by the hoist
installers.
All hoistoperators will receive a site inducted and be fully aware of site fireprocedures. They are required to wear
PPE at all times.
At no timewill the hoist be left unattended during working hours, i.e. 8 am 6 pm.Monday to Friday and 8 am 1.30pm
Saturday. When the hoist is not required,power will be isolated and the hoist padlocked shut.
Fire Marshall
The FireMarshall will be fully trained (a copy of his certificate will be held on sitein the site health and safety file).
Prior to commencing their duties they areto attend a site inducted and be issued with and wear the relevant PPE at
alltimes.
They willbe responsible for carrying out daily checks on all fire points and fire /evacuation signage together with any
other tasks as specified by the LogisticsManager
They areto check the fire points for general condition / expiry dates / signs oftampering or abuse, ensuring that the
appropriate signage is in place (fireplan / fire action / types of extinguisher / assembly points etc.) and that
anywarning media is visible and working correctly (bell / klaxon / break glassactivators) and will report to the
Logistics Manager if any damage orreplacements are required.
They arealso to ensure all escape routes and fire exit doors are kept clear at alltimes.
They areto be fully aware of the site fire plan and will assist in the practiseevacuations and fire alarm tests.
The firemarshall will also issue and monitor all permits to work, ensuring that thecorrect procedures are followed
and signed off when complete. Any offenders areto be notified to the Logistics Manager.
Traffic Management
TheLogistics team will provide fully trained traffic management operatives for thepurpose of traffic control and
management during deliveries.
As thesite is situated in a very busy area, good traffic control is vital. This is where a strict delivery bookingregime
must be implemented.
All tradecontractors shall adhere to a booking in system for deliveries that willrequire notification 48 hours in
advance.
On arrivalthey will report to Security who in turn will inform the appropriate contractorwho will in turn provide
operatives to unload the delivery.
There willbe no provision for waiting vehicles; therefore any deliveries that arriveunannounced will be turned away.
Anypackaging or ties relating to deliveries must be the sole responsibility of thecontractor involved.
As thesecurity guards are the first point of contact for deliveries to site weintend to train the guards as traffic
management operatives as this willbenefit the efficiency of the throughput of deliveries and will ensure that
thetraffic management is implemented safely.
TwoBanksmen will be required for the manoeuvring of vehicles into and out of site this is to assist in the reversing
in of the vehicles and the introduction ofthe vehicle back into the busy traffic.
Aspreviously mentioned at no time are banksmen to become enclosed or trappedwhen reversing vehicles an
escape point must always be available and thiswill be surveyed and implemented by the Logistics Manager who
will constantlymonitor the working procedures of the banksmen.
A riskassessment will be carried out for this operation which will take into accountall generic, specific residual and
environmental hazards associated with thistask.
Waste Management
A wheeliebin method will be used for removing waste from site. There will be binsallocated to each floor in pre-
designated locations; bins will be moved fromdifferent floors within the building by means of the hoist.
All binswhen full will be transferred to a pre-designated removal area for collectionby the Approved Waste
Contractor.
During theemptying process, a suitably trained (by induction / toolbox talk) operativewill assist the driver to firmly
locate the bins to the lifting mechanism ofthe compactor the bin must be properly located into place on the
liftingdevice prior to lifting.
Bins willbe pushed to the rear of the compactor unit no bins are to be located nearthe compactor during its
manoeuvring emptying of bins will not be permitteduntil the compactor has completely stopped and the driver has
secured thevehicle.
Once thebin is ready to be lifted all persons (including the driver) must keep clearof the lift (to the side) until the bin
is emptied and placed back on theground..
Operativeswill then replace empty bins to all floors.
A toolboxtalk on this task will be given to all operatives involved.
Riskassessments on Manual Handling and the Movement of Bins have been carried out andthe results
communicated kept on site in the safety file.
Allnecessary PPE will be worn during this task.
Allcurrent test certificates for the lifting mechanism will be gained from theWaste Management Company by the
Logistics Manager this will also includeservicing records for the compactor and for the general road-worthiness of
thecompactor.
Trafficcones and bunting tape will be placed as required around the vehicle during theloading operations.
Uponcompletion of the loading and the subsequent departure of the compactor, thetraffic cones and bunting will be
removed and the general area around theoperation will be completely cleared of any residual spoil or rubbish, and
willbe maintained in a satisfactory condition.
Since thesite is located in a very busy and densely populated area, particular care mustbe given to the
management and control of the general public ensuring theirsafety as a priority at all times.
Stringentsteps will be taken to minimise disruption to the general public (bothpedestrians and motorists).

Activity : Strip Out Works

London
London
E1 6HU

Objectives:
The objective of this task is to strip out and remove the existing internal fabrications.
Existing Environment:
Access to the site is to be gained using front entrance
Then from the entrance of the site, the operatives will require a Safe Route" to the staircase that lead to the third
floor welfare facilities (depending of where the current welfare facilities are - these will be moved around site to
suitable locations to suit scope of works.
This safe route will consist of a demarcated clean route", and will be created as a priority, with the intention of
stripping out the required surrounding fabrication, as soon as possible, but with the minimal disruption to the main
access egress to the site and without causing any hazards to the operatives using the route, therefore the strip out
works in these areas will be controlled and isolated where required.
The reason for this is because TWA will be taking occupancy of the third floor, and due to security reasons, will be
restricted access.
Because of this restriction, and the need to be able to gain access to the welfare facilities within the TWA area (to
gain the required PPE) there will be the requirement for this safe route.
Once the required PPE is gained, All operatives will then return to the second floor work area.
Because the building is occupied and will remain so, there is the constant hazard of interfaces between ourselves
and the staff within the building.
This possible interface will be constantly monitored by Company Name Management, and if not sufficiently
controlled within this method statement, then an addendum will be drafted to supplement this method statement.
The initial foreseeable interfaces, are to the preliminary strip out works, where 50% of the second floor will remain
occupied, whilst we are carrying out the strip out to the remaining 50% of the floor.
This will be controlled by the placement of temporary pedestrian barriers and warning signage.
Company Name Management will also draft a memo to the remaining staff to inform them of our works, intentions
and the procedure in the event of an emergency which will basically mean that in the event of a fire, that the staff
will be permitted to enter the site area to gain escape if no other means of escape is available - only.
This will also work in the alternative that is to say that the site operatives would be able to escape through the live
area if the means of escape is blocked / unreachable.
Another possible interface area will be the lifts, which will be the common means of access, but will be of a minimal
basis as this will be for access means only.
Other interfaces will involve the use of the goods lift this will be on a good will basis and Company Name
Management will ensure the tenants have priority of the use of the goods lift.
Company Name will only use the lift when absolutely necessary, and will wait until the lift is no longer required / not
in use before utilising we will also ensure the safety of any third parties, during the use of the goods lift, this will be
implemented, with the use of a dedicated banksman.
His duties will be to constantly monitor the construction activities, and to ensure the protection and integrity of the
general public / staff at all times.
Supervision:
The supervision that will be present for this task will be:
Name - Supervisor
Name - Project Supervisor (site based)
Name - Director (visiting)
Name - Health and Safety Manager (visiting)
All of the above Management will play an active role in the supervision and management of the Health and Safety
on site.
Sequence Of Works :
1. Before any works commence all operatives will receive a site induction from Mace from which each
operative will be registered.
1.1 The Company Name Site Manager will then after this induction, give all operatives a Company Name
specific Induction, afterwhich they will sign Company Name Induction register to confirm their understanding of the
given induction.
1.2 After signing the induction register, all persons will be given an Company Name Induction helmet
sticker, which states the operatives name, specific ACL Job No, date of induction and the Site Managers
signature, they will then place the label to the helmet to show all concerned parties that they have been
inducted.
1.3 The site manager will, as he is issuing the labels, will check that all persons are wearing site prescribed
Personal Protective Equipment, if they are not then they will be issued with the appropriate equipment.
no person will be permitted into the site confines without the site prescribed PPE.
1.4 The site manager will then issue any PPE that is required over and above the prescribed, that
is required for the strip out work, (goggles, gloves, ear defenders Etc.).
1.5 Once completed all operatives will be given a toolbox talk on this method statement and all
associated risk assessments and applicable COSHH and manual handling assessments,
1.6 The toolbox talk will not be given as read, but will highlight the major safety requirements of
this method statement and the required safe systems of work created, the purpose of this is to ensure that the
operatives receive the most valuable and important safety
information from the method statement.
1.7 The operatives will then be informed of the specific risks highlighted through the
assessments carried out and how we require the operatives to actively participate in implementing the
assessed control measures.
1.8 The site manager will then ask all operatives if they understand what has been told to them and if they
want to ask any questions about the method statement and risks assessed.
1.9 When finished, all operatives will then sign the toolbox talk register to confirm their understanding of
the method statement and risk assessments and to prove that the talk has actually taken place.
1.10 The site manager will then issue to all operatives a copy of this method statement and risk
assessments as a term of reference for them.
1.11 A copy of this will also be placed in the work area for any person to view or refer to.
Once achieved works will begin.
2.1 The first activity will be for the site manager to survey the required area(s) to ensure that there are no major
hazards that will affect the commencement of the works.
2.2 The site manager will be looking for slip, trip & fall hazards, he will also be ensuring that there are no
hazardous materials and checking that all existing services are isolated, this will be accomplished through receiving
a copy of the minor works isolation certificate from Mace (through the electrical contractor) he will also be ensuring
that there is safe access and egress to the place of work and that there is no interface that would compromise
Company Name or any other third party.
2.3 If there were any interface problems or specific risk then this will be brought to the attention of Mace
before works begin.
Once satisfied, the site manager will allow works to commence.
3.1 The next activity will be to encapsulate the work area to ensure that no unauthorised persons can enter
the area.
3.2 This will be achieved by means of physical barriers in the form of pedestrian barriers and warning
signage.
3.3 We will then use strategically placed prominent signage, to warn all others of our presence and our works /
intentions, and as previously mentioned, a memo will be drafted and circulated to the remaining staff of the level.
3.4 This will be implemented at every accessible entry to the work site.
3.5 The entire area will then be checked by the site manager to ensure the integrity of the barriers and to
ensure that it is sufficient to protect and warn all third parties and provide Company Name with adequate
working boundaries to for the operation.
3.6.1 Prior to commencement of any works Mace will copy all relevant certification as regards to mechanical /
electrical isolation for the works area or if Hazardous materials are identified I.E (asbestos etc) again Mace will
issue relevant certification stating what and where any hazardous materials are located or that all known hazardous
have been removed / made safe prior to ACL commencement on site.
3.6.2 Once ACL have all the current certification, works will start. Due to the sensitive nature of some of the
works, the exact sequencing of the works is not known, and will be carried out on a day to day basis.
3.6.3 Because of this, the supervisor, Company Name Manager and Mace Management, will agree all areas of
works, prior to commencement.
3.6.4 The strip out work for this project requires the following items to be removed:
Glazed units (partitioned) and associated frames
Drylined demountable partitioning
All redundant services 1st and 2nd fix electrics / mechanical items / Sanitaryware
Joinery items doors / frames / architraves / skirtings Etc.
Finishes carpets / wallpaper / tiles (wall / floor / ceiling)
Glazed Units:
These will be carefully removed as a whole unit, and will require two persons for each unit being removed.
Operatives will ensure that the entire area is clear of persons / obstructions, prior to commencement, and will have
a holding area ready prior to removal.
As soon as works begin operatives will wear gloves, goggles, and will be fully clothed (long sleeves etc.) as a
precautionary measure.
The units are held in frames, and are removed by unclipping the retaining bead from the frame.
One operative will remove the beads, whilst the other holds the unit in its position to prevent the unit falling out.
Once the beads are removed, both operatives will take the weight of the unit, (which is of an moderate weight /
size), and lower the unit to the ground taking care at all times.
During this operation, the supervisor will be monitoring the works ensuring that the area remains clear and free of
third parties at all times.
Once lowered to the ground, the unit will be positioned in a safe place ready for later disposal.
Drylining:
The supervisor is to ensure that all services are isolated prior to removal of the partitions.
As previously mentioned, the majority of the drylining is demountable, and will therefore be removed
sectionally and unscrewed as opposed to breaking out.
Operatives will wear gloves, goggles and if necessary masks during the removal works this will be monitored by the
supervisor & ACL manager.
The board will be stacked in reasonable sizes, in a safe area for later disposal.
Once the skins of the partition have been removed, the remaining frame / track will be removed.
This will be carried out by cold methods as much as possible eg. By unscrewing or with the use of a pair of snips /
hacksaw.
The use of a grinder will be considered a last resort.
When a unit has been dismantled, the arisings will be disposed of to the skip area.
Redundant Services:
(once confirmed as isolated) the remaining services, containment, wireways and associated
switches / sockets / lighting units / ancilleries will be unscrewed and removed.
Access will be by a aluminium access tower.
These will be erected by a competent person and inspected by Company Name manager, who will ensure that a
Company Name mobile tower scafftag is used.
This acts as a checklist for the erector and is signed by both the erector and the user has both parties have
responsibilities for the tower and its use.
All persons will be aware of the remote possibility of the discovery of hazardous material during these works, and
will stop immedietely if suspicion is raised by a insulkation material.
All ancilleries will be removed and bagged for disposal.
All equipment will be unscrewed and removed by two operatives.
Trunking / ducting / mechanical items will be removed sectionally and lowered to the ground carefully.
Conduits / wiring / and associated bracketry will be removed also.
Basic PPE for this task will be gloves / goggles / hard hat / boots etc.
Where grinding is used to remove items, the area will be cleared of any combustible materials / operative will wear
goggles / mask and will have a banksman present to act as a fire watch, and to protect third parties.
Removal of any sanitaryware:
During this operation, the following basic procedures will be followed:
All services are to be confirmed as isolated / disconnected.
Goggles / gloves (impervious) / masks (where necessary) / Hard hats and steel toecap boots will be worn at all
times.
Very good personal hygiene will be required at all times and this must be given to the operatives as a toolbox talk.
Sanitary items will not be broken and must removed whole.
All PPE must be disposed off each day and replaced with new.
Cleaning agents are to be available locally during the works.
Joinery:
All timber removal will be done by operatives using nail bars to lever doors / architraves / timber skirtings, box outs,
etc.
Gloves / goggles hard hat and boots will be worn at all times.
All timber will be de-nailed as necessary and no protruding screws / nails will be left by the operatives.
Timber will be removed progressively, to prevent a build up of combustible materials on site, and will never be left
on site overnight.
All doors / heavy items will be removed / disposed of by two operatives at all times.
Finishes:
All wallpaper will be removed by stripping of the walls, this will be bagged immediately, and again constantly
removed from site, as a combustible material,
Wall / floor Tiles will be removed using a hammer and bolster goggles and gloves must be worn at all times during
this operation, as well as the normal site PPE.
And all work areas must be isolated to prevent unauthorised access into the areas.
All arisings will be constantly bagged, and removed from site.
Ceiling tiles will be removed using a mobile tower - to the controls previously mentioned.
Operatives will wear masks and goggles during these works due to the dusty nature of the operation.
Operatives will also ensure that hard hats remain worn during this operation, due to the possibility of items being
above the ceiling tiles.
Where towers cannot be used, stepladders will be introduced, this will be a last resort, and operatives will be given
a toolbox talk on the safe use of stepladders, and this will be recorded on to a register, and the use of the ladders
monitored.
This will include correct ascent / descent full extension of the ladders one hand holding to the ladder at all times
correct footing - not overstretching or working above the top fourth rung of the ladder etc.
All tile debris will be loaded into bags and relocated in another room adjacent to the work area, until sufficient is
ready to be taken to the skip area.
Operatives will place debris into bags / wheel barrows by hand or using shovels, all operatives will
wear gloves to prevent injury to hands whilst disposing of debris, goggles and masks will also be
worn as previously mentioned.
Once the tiles have been removed, the remaining grids will dismantled by hand where possible and the main
perimeter grid, levered form the perimeter wall and again disposed of.
3.9 All electrical equipment will be visually inspected by the user, and will be tested and certificated prior to its
use on site, (along with leads).
Any equipment which is found to be not functioning correctly will be replaced immediately.
Operatives not involved with the works shall be informed not to enter the works area, operatives
clearing the debris shall not enter into or under the works until advised by the supervisor that it is
clear that works over head has ceased and it is safe to do so.
ACL shall display signage at the relevant entrance points to the works area informing all operatives
and third parties of the on going activities.
Debris will be loaded into wheel barrows by operatives using shovels,this will then be disposed of
as previously described.
Any raised flooring will be lifted and stacked onto wheeled trolley operatives will then pull the trolley to
the skip area for disposal.
Removal of the flooring will commence from the far end of the room, retaining the trolley on the raised floor area at
all times until complete.
The supporting stools will be removed by an operative using a sledge hammer, these will be placed
into a wheel barrow for disposal as described previously.
4.0 IT WILL BE POLICY OF Company Name TO ENSURE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY
PERSONS TO WORK OR BE POSITIONED DIRECTLY UNDER ANY DEMOLITION OPERATIONS.
ANY PERSON DISREGARDING THIS SIMPLE DUTY WILL BE REMOVED FROM SITE BY
Company Name MANAGEMENT.
4.1 Additional Safety Precautions and Requirements
Hot works applications:
Grinding operations - a 110v angle grinder will be used for all grinding / cutting operations
which will be tested and certificated and all blade changes, carried out by a trained abrasive wheel
mounter.
An hot works permit will be gained for each operation from Mace Management and at least two
extinguishers of the correct type for the works (water / Co2) will be present with a nominated person
responsible for fire watching.
Oxy / acetylene, if required for larger removal works. the following controls will be implemented, all cylinders will be
in good condition and all connections / regulators / flash back
arrestors / hoses / appliances will be in good condition and visually inspected for integrity.
A extinguisher will be positioned at the cylinders at all times and the equipment will be used by a
competent person using the same controls as for grinding.
Manual Handling:
A large majority of the works involve Manual Handling and Company Name will be aware of this.
To minimise the hazard concerning Kinetic Lifting, Company Name Management will adopt the following
procedures.
Mechanical Means will be used wherever practicable
Any lifting will be assessed in compliance with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
All lifting will consider the load and the person
Plant:
All Company Name plant is checked prior to it arriving on site to ensure that 'Test Dates' are current and that
equipment has been tested and certified as safe prior to issue to the site.
Company Name Plant Manager(a qualified Portable Appliance Tester) carries out a full visual inspection of
the equipment, which is followed by a thorough test of the equipments earth bonding, insulation
resistance and continuity, this is carried out using a calibrated Proprietary Portable Appliance Tester. Any Plant
that is Procured through a plant hire company will be specifically requested to supply upon
delivery current test certification.
The details of all plant will be entered into the site plant register.
Throughout the entirety of the project all plant shall be selected by Company Name Site Management who have
the upmost experience and considered very competent to select all plant required. If a specialist task arises
Company Name shall take professional advice from a reputable manufacturer or supplier.
All hired plant will not be accepted without an upto date P.A.T. certificate
All plant will be maintained and kept in good working condition, this will be achieved by one of
Company Name qualified Portable Appliance Testers regularly visiting site (at the site managements
request) and testing all plant before it's expiry date.
All plant issued by Company Name Construction Ltd will have as a minimum these requirements and
registered in the site register. When not it use, all plant will be safely stored
in a lockable container.
All plant test certificates will be held in the site Health and Safety File (plant register section), the Site
Safety co-ordinator shall be responsible for the checking of plant certificates (before use) and the
retesting of all plant before the expiry date
All guidelines and practises as above will be stringently followed by Company Name Construction Manager,
all plant will be constantly supervised and replaced/repaired as necessary and the relevant statutory
documents completed on a weekly basis by a trained competent person.
4.2 Any Dust will be periodically dampened with water to keep levels to a minimum.
4.3 Noise will be monitored by the management and if necessary the noise levels will be taken and an
assessment will be carried out, and the appropriate controls put into place.
4.4 Good personal hygiene will be essential (especially during the sanitaryware removal) and operatives will be
required to wash thoroughly after each shift, gloves must be worn when handling debris and care must be taken to
avoid sharp objects, dirt, debris Etc.
4.5 The site management will inspect the intended work area before works begin and ensure that any
walls / structures etc. are safe to remove and that all safety procedures are in place and all third

statement and the required safe systems of work created.
1.7 The operatives will then be informed of the specific risks highlighted through the assessments carried out
and how we require the operatives to actively participate in implementing the assessed control measures.
1.8 When finished, all operatives will then sign the toolbox talk register to confirm their understanding of the
method statement and risk assessments and to prove that the talk has actually taken place.
1.9 The site manager will then issue to the foreman / ganger a copy of this method statement and risk
assessments as a term of reference for them.
2.0 Site Survey
2.1 The first activity will be for the site manager to survey the required area(s) to ensure that there are no major
hazards that will affect the commencement of the works.
2.2 The site manager will be looking for slip, trip & fall hazards, he will also be ensuring that there is safe
access and egress to the place of work and that there are no interface problems that would compromise Company
Name or any other third party.
2.3 Once satisfied, the site manager will allow works to commence.
3.1 The next activity will be to encapsulate the first work area to ensure that no unauthorised persons can enter
the area.
3.2 This will be achieved using either pedestrian barriers or Heras Panels.
3.3 We will then use strategically placed prominent signage, to warn all others of our presence and our
works / intentions.
3.4 This will be implemented at every accessible entry to the area.
3.5 The entire area will then be checked by the site manager to ensure integrity of the barriers. Also to ensure it
is sufficient to protect/warn third parties and provide Company Name with adequate working boundaries to for the
operation.

with each cabin will be fitted with Miniature circuit Breakers ( M.C.B's) These installations will be commissioned
before first use by a N.I C. E.I.C approved contractor, for which a certificate of adequacy will be issued to the site
Management and then regularly tested as dictated by the environment of the project.
4.15 For this project the installations to the cabins will be tested at least every 3 months or when there is any
change to the configuration or condition of the installation. An adequate supply will be required suitable to power
the canteen appliances, this will be achieved from the existing supply.
4.16 All appliances to the offices and welfare will be regularly inspected and tested, all portable appliances will
be tested between every 6 & 12 months ( dependant on the environment of the equipment). Water supplies to the
welfare facilities will be taken from the existing supplies to the site, this supply is potable and wholesome, therefore
suitable for drinking purposes, and (A drinking water point will be designated and appropriately signed as such).
4.17 Drainage for the facilities will be run to the sanitation tank sited beneath the toilet block, which will be
pumped out periodically. Communications requirements will be gained from the relevant statutory company ( BT),

Constituents
Dry processed fibreboard having moisture content of less than 20 at the forming stage and having a density 450 kg m3 These boards are essentially produced under heat and
pressure with the addition of a synthetic adhesive
Effect :
Health The following health problems are among the effects that have been associated with exposure to wood dust - Skin disorders - Obstruction in the nose and rhinitis -
Asthma - a rare type of nasal cancer a Exposure Controls During processing adequate ventilation and or extraction should be provided to minimise airborne dust Whenever
possible fit dust extraction equipment even when using hand-held machines b Personal Protection Dust will be created during processing use appropriate respiratory protection
equipment Wear gloves and overalls as required to prevent skin contact Wear eye protection to prevent dust particles from entering eyes Wear the correct clothing and use
other safety equipment as necessary
Action :
a Materials to avoid Reducing and oxidising agents b Conditions to avoid Heating and ignition sources and damp atmospheres Thermal decomposition products may include
CO CO2 aldehydes including formaldehyde HCHO particulate matter and other organic compounds c Other Hazards Processing of MDF will generate wood dust Appropriate
protection from inhalation of the dust is recommended See section 8 also refer to Safe collection of wood waste Prevention of fire and explosion WIS32 HSE Books 1997 and
Safe handling of combustible dusts HSG103 HSE books1994
In bulk wood is unlikely to give rise to toxicological effects the hazardous forms that may give rise to health risks are dust and sap latex or lichens associated with the wood a
Immediate Hazards Inhalation Skin Eyes Dust generated during processing may cause irritation of the nose and throat Dust generated during processing may cause irritation
Dust generated during processing may cause irritation MDF is largely composed of softwood bound together usually with a urea formaldehyde or melamine urea formaldehyde
resin When it is machined very fine dust is produced Just like natural wood dust this is a potentially hazardous substance and it must be controlled For example wood dust can
cause skin disorders and asthma Hardwood dust in particular can very rarely cause nasal cancer - and as such is classified as a carcinogen in Control Of Substances
Hazardous to Health COSHH Regulations The evidence that softwood dust can cause cancer is less conclusive It is not classified as a carcinogen in the UK However all wood
can cause irritation and we draw your attention to the guidance given in HSE woodworking sheet no 30 Toxic woods Under COSHH Regulations softwood dust has a maximum
exposure limit MEL of 5 mg m3 8 hr TWA - this is the relevant limit for controlling exposure to MDF dust Exposure must be reduced as far as is reasonably practicable below
this limit - usually with properly designed and maintained dust extraction equipment fitted to woodworking machines When using portable or hand-held tools extraction
equipment often is not practicable or available in which case a suitable dust mask should be worn If possible MDF should be machined in a well-ventilated workplace for
example outside
First Aid :
Inhalation Inhalation of MDF dust can only occur during processing If inhalation of dust causes adverse effects remove to fresh air If discomfort persists seek medical advice
Skin In case of irritation from dust generated from processing of MDF wash with water Eyes If particles enter the eyes during processing immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water Seek medical attention if irritation persists
Disposal :
Manufacturing waste must be disposed of as a controlled waste Special consideration should be given to containing dust to prevent spillage during transit
Fire :
Non-flammable at room temperature but will burn In case of fire soak flood with water For large fires fire fighters should wear full emergency protective equipment including self-
contained breathing apparatus Wood waste or dust may present a fire or explosion hazard- good housekeeping practises must be followed
Spillages :
MDF does not represent a hazard in sheet form However dust generated from processing MDF should be contained carefully collected and removed
Storage :
a Manual Handling In sheet form MDF can present a manual handling risk due to its physical dimensions and weight Good lifting practice should be followed Note A 2440 mm

hazardous impurities n a n a remainder None
Effect :
Lead in massive or sheet form is not a significant health hazard However the following information is relevant if your blood lead is elevated as a result of breathing in lead dust
fume or vapour or as a result of swallowing lead due to poor hygiene practices Toxicokinetic assessment Lead is slowly absorbed by ingestion and inhalation and poorly
absorbed through the skin If absorbed it will accumulate in the body with low rates of excretion leading to long-term build up Part of risk management is to take worker blood
samples for analysis to ensure that exposure levels are acceptable acute toxicity Lead massive metal is not considered to be acutely toxic It is not easily inhaled or ingested
and if it is accidentally ingested normally passes through the gastrointestinal system without significant absorption into the body Lead is not easily absorbed through the skin b
skin corrosion irritation Studies have shown that sparingly soluble inorganic lead compounds are not corrosive or irritating to skin and this lack of effect is expected also for
metallic lead This conclusion is supported by the lack of reports of irritant effects from occupational settings c serious eye damage irritation Studies have shown that sparingly
soluble inorganic lead compounds are not corrosive or irritating to eyes and this lack of effect is expected also for metallic lead This conclusion is supported by the lack of
reports of irritant effects from occupational settings d respiratory skin sensitisation There is no evidence that lead causes respiratory or skin sensitisation e germ cell
mutagenicity The evidence for genotoxic effects of highly soluble inorganic lead compounds is contradictory with numerous studies reporting both positive and negative effects
Responses appear to be induced by indirect mechanisms mostly at very high concentrations that lack physiological relevance f carcinogenicity There is some evidence that
inorganic lead compounds may have a carcinogenic effect and they have been classified by IARC as probably carcinogenic to humans Group 2A However it is considered that
this classification does not apply to lead in articles given the very low bioavailability of metallic lead Carcinogenicity studies of lead metal powder have been negative
Epidemiology studies of workers exposed to inorganic lead compounds have found a limited association with stomach cancer IARC has concluded that lead metal is possibly
carcinogenic to humans Group 2B g reproductive toxicity Exposure to high levels of inorganic lead compounds may cause adverse effects on male and female fertility including
adverse effects on sperm quality Prenatal exposure to inorganic lead compounds is also associated with adverse effects on the development of the unborn child There is
evidence that neurobehavioral development in children is affected by exposure to lead h STOT-single exposure Inorganic lead compounds have generally been found to be of
relatively low acute toxicity by ingestion in contact with skin and by inhalation with no evidence of any local or systemic toxicity from such exposures The bioavailability of lead
metal is low and acute lead exposure is not expected to result in acute toxicity effects i STOT-repeated exposure Lead is a cumulative poison and may be absorbed into the
body through ingestion or inhalation Although inhalation and ingestion of lead in massive form are unlikely poor hygiene practises may result in hand to mouth transfer which
maybe significant over a prolonged period of time Inorganic lead compounds have been documented in observational human studies to produce toxicity in multiple organ
systems and body function including the haemotopoetic blood system kidney function reproductive function and the central nervous system j aspiration hazard Lead metal is a
solid and aspiration hazards are not expected to occur
Action :
Lead is not a reactive substance and no reactive hazards are expected 10 2 Chemical stability Expected to be stable under normal conditions of use 10 3 Possibility of
hazardous reactions No hazardous reactions expected under normal conditions of use 10 4 Conditions to avoid Not applicable 10 5 Incompatible materials Strong oxidizing
agents 10 6 Hazardous decomposition products No decomposition if used as directed
Respiratory protection Suitable respiratory protective device recommended if work activity is likely to result in formation of lead fumes vapours or dust In case of brief or low
level exposure use dust mask or half mask with particle filter P2 Assess the need to wear respiratory protective equipment in production areas Consider use of effective masks
accompanied by a compliance policy ensure proper shaving ensure workers do not remove RPE in production areas in order to communicate Where masks are used employ
formal mask cleaning and filter changing strategies Hand Protection Protective gloves Material of gloves Neoprene or Leather Eye protection Safety glasses Skin protection
Wear protective work clothing For workers in areas of significant exposure provide sufficient working clothes to enable daily change into clean clothes In such cases all work
clothing should be cleaned by the employer on a daily basis and is not permitted to leave the work site
