Method Statement For Suspended Ceiling Installation
Method Statement For Suspended Ceiling Installation
Ensure that no acoustical ceilings be installed until the building has been
enclosed, all dust-generating activities have been completed, and all overhead
work has been completed, tested, and approved.
Maintain the temperature and humidity levels in the environment within the
manufacturer’s specifications during and after installation.
Examination / Preparations
Areas scheduled to receive suspended acoustic units must be inspected for
unevenness, irregularities, and wetness that might impair the quality of the work.
Before commencing installation, access provisions must be marked in terms of
size and placement.
Acoustical ceilings should not be put above any work, including mechanical and
electrical work, that requires inspection until all work is completed.
Layouts must be completed for inserts, clips, or other supports that will be put by
other trades to support the acoustical ceiling.
The ceiling area must be measured/surveyed in order to determine the
arrangement of acoustical units in order to balance border widths at opposing
sides of each ceiling.
Less-than-half-width units at borders must be avoided, and mirrored ceiling plans
must be followed whenever practicable.
Cross-channel grids must be inserted between main channel grids, flush cut, and
secured to longitudinal channels.
All exposed acoustical ceiling unit surfaces must be level and flush, with all seams
straight and true.
Light fixtures and other components must be cut and fitted neatly.
Before entering the area of operation, all staff will go through the health and
safety introduction. Employees will only be provided access permissions when
they have completed their induction.
Access and egress onto the rear of any vehicle or trailer will be through a ladder
fastened to the truck or trailer’s side.
Controlling Health and Safety Risks
Before beginning any activity, ensure that the work permit and any
accompanying documentation, such as RAMS, are signed and approved.
Approved RAMS will be made available on-site, and job-specific dangers and
controls will be explained to all individuals participating in the job.
Ascertain that every PPE is evaluated for job applicability, constraints,
capabilities, and compatibility with other PPE.
Approved RAMS will be made available on-site, and job-specific dangers and
controls will be explained to all individuals participating in the job.
Ensure that staff has received manual handling training.
Use mechanical devices to avoid needless heavy manual handling of materials.
Prior to beginning any job on site, all staff must get a safety induction/training.
Job supervisors must have a pre-job STARRT/TBT meeting to inform workers
about job-specific dangers.
