3. Description of the project

This project management plan must record the arrangements for managing the significant health, safety and environment risks
associated with the construction phase of the project. It is the basis for communicating these arrangements to all those involved
in the construction phase, so it should be easy to understand and as simple as possible.

Project description:

The project is to develop the eastern gateway to Hatfield Town Centre, to make the high street more attractive to shoppers,
retailers and residents. The development will see existing buildings (No 1 and Nos 3‐9 Town Centre) replaced with a new mixed‐
use scheme comprising three distinct blocks and which includes improvements to the public realm.

The One Town Centre project is located on Hatfield Highstreet, Hatfield, AL10 0LD. The project involves the construction of
71No. Residential apartments over three blocks and provides 5No. Retail Units and a Car Parking Office on the ground floor
(shell & core only), along with the provision of 69No. car parking spaces and 80 Cycle Spaces.

The project also delivers associated onsite and offsite S278 infrastructure works, particularly the extension to the existing cycle
way network along Wellfield Road and Queens Way (B6426) including two new splitter islands to Wellfield Road. There are a
large number of existing services to be relocated and or diverted to enable the works to commence. External works, including
improvements to the public realm, landscaping, external drainage and external services will also be completed.

The break-down of the tenure by block is presented in the table below:

Block 1 29 Private 9 Affordable Total 38

Block 2 18 Private 7 Affordable Total 25
Block 3 6 Private 2 Affordable Total 8

The blocks are formed over 3, 4, 5 and 6 stories and the apartments will be an arrangement of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments.
The apartment blocks will be constructed of a light steel frame with composite metal decking concrete floor slabs over a
reinforced concrete transfer structure. The foundations will be formed from piles and reinforced concrete pile caps. The
apartment blocks 1 and 2 will be serviced by lifts, Block 3 which is over 3 floors will be serviced by stairs only.

The project will enhance the public realm between the blocks with both hard and soft landscaping, trees and benches. The
blocks will be clad with brickwork, inset balconies and blue roofs.

The main site welfare facilities will be located in part of the existing Kennelwood Car park, subject to car parking suspension
being agreed, during the construction phase of the project. The project office will be set up in the Progression2 unit in Wellfield
Road

 Health and safety aims for the project:

The aims are to complete the project on time and to achieve zero accidents and incidents, ill health or occupational disease
throughout the duration of the project through careful planning and where possible, elimination of known hazards.

Arrangements to ensure cooperation between project team members and coordination of their work.
Regular communication is required from all parties on any health and safety matter which may affect this plan. Every contractor
is to encourage their staff to bring health & safety matters, particularly unsafe acts or conditions observed or encountered, to
our site management’s attention immediately. If remedial action is required, and it is within the authority of the contractor,
then it must be dealt with by them and the actions taken reviewed with site management. If the action required is outside the
authority of the contractor or affects other contractors etc., then it must be brought to the attention of the site management
immediately.

Health and safety will be tabled for discussions as an agenda item within all formal meetings between Lovell, Client, project
team or other contractor.
The meeting agenda is to include the consideration of health and safety implications as a result of design changes/proposals
or situations arising on site and whether these are relevant for notification to the Principal Designer or Designer(s). Any
apparent shortfall in the liaison between Designer(s) and Principal Designer will be notified via this meeting to the Client or his
representative.

Health and safety will be discussed at regular meetings between the site management team and a representative from each
contractor working on the site. Matters affecting health and safety shall be discussed and minuted. Each contractor’s
representative at the meeting shall thereafter be responsible for ensuring persons under their control who may be affected
are advised of such matters. These meetings will be used to discuss and record any design changes that have been implemented
since the last meeting. Design changes, once received from any designer, will be brought to the attention of the relevant
contractor by the contracts manager, with drawing registers updated accordingly and forwarded with drawings. It is then their
responsibility to update their workforce on site. Our site management will ensure that all current revisions of drawings are
being worked to on site.
Lovell will co-ordinate meetings with other contractors, including other Principal Contractors, where any matters affecting the
health and safety objectives of the project will be discussed.

We will evaluate the impact of any design changes issued during the project and discuss implications, delays, or any
rescheduling necessary which affects health, safety and environmental matters if we are unable to undertake the work using
safe systems of work originally envisaged.

 Methodology and Sequence of Works

Sequence of Works

The high-level sequence of works is described below. To facilitate access for follow on trades the overall sequence of works will
progress from Block One through to Block Three. .

1. Establish site hoarding & vehicle entrance gates

2. Install tree protection
3. Undertake site investigation works, removing any existing structure / foundations or local contamination
4. Divert Existing Services, Gas, BT, Electric and amend existing capped well (Block 3)
5. Drainage and Attenuation to Kennelwood and Wellfield Road including S106 connections (subject to pre start condition
discharged)
6. Pile Probing
7. Pile Mat & Service protection
8. Grouting & Ground Improvement
9. CFA Bearing Piles
10. Bulk Excavation & Drainage
11. Pile Caps & Concrete Base Slab
12. RC Concrete Construction to Podium Slab
13. Scaffolding, Light Structural Steel Framing & Weathering Board
14. Windows & Brickworks (& Balconies as scaffold is lowered)
15. Roofing Works
16. Internal Fit Out
17. S278 Works, Public Realm & Finishing Works
18. As Built’s & Hand Over

Service Diversion & Drainage Attenuation

First operation will be to undertake physical trail holes to identify all the known services and confirm their location. The Gas
main will be diverted along with BT cabinet within Block 3 footprint. The Electric cable within the Wellfield road attenuation
tank will also be proved and diverted if required. BT and Cable Tel diversions are probable but have hopefully been avoided by
the relocation of Block 1 and the curtailment of the corner of the block. This will need to be proved with BT and Cable Tel.
Once the service diversions have been completed the drainage, attenuation and final mains connections can be made within the
car park areas. Welfare and offices will initially be provided by temporary Garic type mobile units. On the completion and
reinstatement of the Kennelwood car park drainage part of the car park will be handed back to the client for public use and
Lovell’s main compound, office, welfare and car parking will be established.

It is noted that an existing disused well is located in the Wellfield Car park. An early activity will be to locate this well, survey
and amend the capping structure to accommodate the block 3 structural layout.

Piling
Once all the service diversion area completed Lovell can then prepare for piling works involving completing the pile probing,
grubbing up existing foundations within Block 2 and installing the piling mat to 82.6mAOD. The piling methodology will be
required to be issued to Highways prior to demonstrate no surcharging of the Retaining wall to the north/east of Block 1 and 3rd
Party Wall agreement will be required for Block 2 and 3 at the existing building interface. On completion and certification of the
piling mat, the ground improvement grouting works will commence. Then, the installation of the CFA bearing piles will follow.

Lovell propose to use 2No. piling rigs, one will complete the works in Block One while the other will commence in Block 2 and will
then move to Block 3 to complete the pile installation.

Due to the bearing piles being constructed at high level the top section of pile the will be left at pile mat level which will then need
to be broken down with the excavation works using a pile breaker or splitter.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 6 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Temporary Works
Once the piles have been completed excavation/ pile break down and drainage works will commence. The excavations are
generally shallow >2m max. and within the Clay/sands/gravels and will be an open cut excavation with batters at 1 in 1, this is to
be confirmed by temporary works design. Areas of root protection are to be carefully hand dug or roots exposed with air spade
under the guidance of the arboricultural Consultant.

The Highway Retaining Wall will need to be visually monitored throughout the substructure works. The monitoring will be daily
against agreed movement trigger levels which will be the monitoring will be reduced to fortnightly.

Once the excavation has reached formation, working east to west, the drainage will be installed, and the lift pit core foundations
will be constructed. The pile caps and ground beams will then be completed allowing the base slabs to follow through. Then, the
above ground frame to podium level can commence with the construction of concrete columns, soffit falsework, decking and the
fixing of the reinforcement, access to the decking will be via haki stairs. A tower crane will be used for lifting and a mobile concrete
placing boom will be used to place the concrete during the construction of the podium slab. Positions of the tower crane and
concrete placing boom can be seen in the logistics plan.

Super-structure
On completion of the RC podium slab to both Blocks 1 & 2 the light steel framework cassettes will arrive from the factory pre-
assembled on articulated lorries. The loads will either be pre-slung, thus avoiding the need to access the lorry beds or the lorry
beds will be fitted with safety hand railing systems / Loading bays will be formed to provide safe means of access to the lorry
beds.

Both Blocks 1 & 2 will be constructed simultaneously using a tower crane, supplemented by visiting mobile cranes to lift the light
weight steel frame/frame cassettes into position. Safe access up to the levels will be provided by external Haki stairs and sheeted
scaffolding will be in advance of the frame by up to two levels providing safety edge protection to the steel frame as it progresses.
A mobile concrete placing boom will be used to place the concrete to the floor slabs. Proposed Crane positions are shown on the
logistics plan. Block 2 & 3 will be served from the same mobile crane position. The frame contractor will make safe riser openings
and other openings within the floor plate using edge trims and grp grates.

On completion of the fourth floor concrete and the weathering board to third floor level, the podium floor slab will be handed
over to commence the window installation and the fit out works. This has been planned with safety in mind to allow good vertical
separation of the trades and a minimum of two concrete slabs between the trades.

Envelope
The envelop is formed off the light weight steel frame with a weathering cement/silica board lining and insulation. The board
joints will be taped with Dafa tape and epdm will be used to seal off at the structural interface thus creating a temporary
weathered envelope. The cladding systems is traditional brickwork. Traditional Brickwork will be 110mm Rockwool Duoslab
insulation and 50mm clear cavity which facing brickwork. Scaffolding will be adapted as the works proceed to provide safe access
to the working face.

Roof Finishes
All terrace roofs will be formed from concrete with the floorplates, and main roof areas will be formed light weight steel frame
contractor. The concrete roof areas will have cut to fall insulation and be a Blue roof system, based on a warm roof torch on
membrane system. The Light Steel Frame will be extended through to form the perimeter parapets & up-stands. The
waterproofing membrane will be installed throughout the overall roof area which will then be fully tested, protected
and insulated and covered with vegetation layer.

To eliminate water damage and provide protection against rainfall during construction Lovell will install weather protection to
every second floor including the top two floors, Level 05 & 06. The water protection will consist of boarding and felting over the
risers and small openings, bunding the perimeter of the slab and internal openings, installing weathering board two floors ahead
of the internal fit out and ensuring tape and epdm is applied to weather off the sheathing board.

Fitout

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 7 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

The fitout will commence after the completion of the concrete to the fourth floor. Window and door openings in the envelope
will either be temporary sealed, or windows installed and weathered, so that a dry environment is created on the floor plate. The
fitout will follow a construction matrix typically 22 weeks. Each trade will be staggered for safety to provide clear working areas
and free working space. A typical flat fit out sequence is detailed below:

1. Insulation & Screed to Floors

External Landscaping
On completion of the external brick work envelope and windows, the scaffolding can be struck down level by level to allow for
face brickwork to be cleaned down and windows to receive mastic and sills to be installed.

At the same time the office, welfare and canteen facilities will be cleared from the area and temporary welfare accommodation
will be provided via Garic self-contained units. This will allow the public realm works to be completed.

Fire and emergency procedures

Fire Safety Plan

For further guidance follow link to HSE Fire Guidance Documents

Prepared in accordance with the Joint Code of Practice on the Protection from Fire of Construction Sites and Buildings Undergoing Renovation – an insurance requirement for all projects
with an original contract value of over £2.5m.

High fire risk sites include:

High rise – above 6 storeys
Large projects - contract value >£20m
All timber frame structures
Where risk assessment indicates significant potential for loss of life or property
Insurers must be consulted prior to the commencement of high risk projects and if work is suspended on site. Contact your
regional Commercial Director for current insurer’s details.

A fire risk assessment (HSE 002FIRE) will be completed for each project by a competent person; on all timber frame projects and
other high risk projects, this will be carried out by a third party certified assessor. The assessment will be reviewed to ensure
that it remains relevant as the project develops. Where a project involves working in occupied high rise buildings, the
client’s/landlord’s fire risk assessment is to be obtained prior to commencement and the controls detailed must be incorporated
into our own.

Before commencing any high rise occupied refurbishment project, an independent fire survey of the building is to be carried out
to establish the condition and integrity of the fabric.

Travel distances will be considered because of the effect of smoke and heat which spread quickly. It is very important not to
overestimate how far people can travel before they are adversely affected by fire. Appropriate distances to reach safety,
including on scaffolds, will depend on a variety of matters.

The following table details the maximum travel distances permitted before additional control measures will be required. Note:
These distances must include the height of the scaffold staircases also.

Property/build type Fire hazard Secondary means of escape From a dead end
provided
Occupied High 25m 12m
Timber frame High 25m 12m
SIP High 25m 12m
Traditional build Normal 45m 18m
Thin Joint Normal 45m 18m
SIP = Structurally Insulated Panel i.e. Kingspan TEK etc.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 9 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

Staircases are to be used as the primary method of access. They are also the preferred method of secondary escape on scaffolds
as they permit a more rapid escape for higher numbers than ladders however; ladder towers are permitted where necessary, but
will be signed to indicate that they are for emergency use only.

The Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) must be contacted at the commencement of the construction phase to agree water supplies
and to discuss any potential situation that may require specialist rescue arrangements although their maximum reach is 30m.
They should also be invited to carry out regular familiarisation visits where appropriate to review access, water supplies,
firefighting arrangements etc. All high risk projects including timber frame 4 storeys and over and occupied multi floor buildings
must be reported to the FRS to allow them to carry out a water flow test before commencing work and thereafter at 3 monthly
intervals.

Fire breaks on timber frame buildings are to be installed as soon as practically possible or where delays are expected, temporary
cladding is to be considered.

Suitable and sufficient steps shall be taken to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, the risk of injury to any person during
the construction work. Suitable and sufficient arrangements shall be prepared for dealing with any foreseeable emergency and
shall include necessary evacuation measures. A suitable number of signed emergency routes and exits shall be provided to enable
any person to reach a place of safety quickly in the event of danger. An emergency plan will be prepared for this site and will be
made available before work starts. The plan will be kept up to date and be appropriate for the changing site conditions.

Locations of fire points, assembly points, spill kit and means of warning will be detailed on a site layout plan, once on site, which
will be displayed on the site office notice board.

The requirements of the site emergency plan will be made known to all persons as part of their site induction training.

The emergency contacts notice, emergency plan and fire action notices for this project shown on the following pages will be
displayed on the site notice board and other pertinent locations throughout the site.

The appointed site fire/emergency marshal is identified within the management team section of this plan.

The duties of the fire/emergency marshal are as follows:

Check the fire precaution rules are observed and that the general fire precautions remain adequate, available and in good
order including escape routes and fire alarms regularly checked, fire drills carried out in accordance with this PMP etc.
Where appropriate, liaison with the occupiers of any shared premises.
To ensure the alarm has been raised
Contact the relevant emergency services
Turn off mobile plant and equipment and shut any emergency valves if safe to do so
Extinguish the fire if safe to do so with the appropriate equipment provided
Implement the use of the spill kit
Ensure all persons have evacuated the premises/site
Take roll call from the Site attendance registers
Meet and liaise with emergency services, providing information to them on access issues, missing persons and any special
hazards – a copy of the site layout plan detailing flammable substances storage and location is to be kept with the site
attendance registers to inform the emergency services.
Confirm safe return to premises/site

Where more than one marshal is appointed, they will maintain sufficient communication to ensure a cohesive approach.

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

Buildings on housing developments may be relatively small but the site itself represents a sizeable project in terms of total floor
area covered.

The following should be used as a guide.

Fireproof Buildings
Fireproof temporary buildings must have adequate emergency exit provision

Automatic detection and alarm systems

Automatic detection to be provided in all welfare accommodation linked to the site fire alarm system. Suitable fire detection
systems are to be used on the site where appropriate referencing the Lovell site fire provision document.
If units are to be double stacked, access doors will be arranged at opposite sides to assist escape from uppermost unit wherever
possible.
The alarm system for this project will be Cygnus Wireless Fire Alarm System by Bull or similar. Units will be positioned, one per
floor per core and around the perimeter of the site as per the fire plan. The master panel will be housed within the main office.

Smoking
Refer to site rules and welfare arrangements. Where suitably situated designated smoking areas are provided, a suitable means
of extinguishing smoking materials must be provided i.e. buckets of sand, which must be regularly maintained.

Space beneath buildings

The space beneath temporary buildings will be kept to a minimum, kept free of rubbish, weeds, etc., kept free of stored materials
and where appropriate enclosed with a protective skirt.

Heating and cooking

Wall fixed heaters will be used – freestanding electric heaters are not permitted. Microwave ovens will be provided within the
canteen facility. Adequate ventilation shall be provided.

Combustible materials including flammable materials, liquids and LPG

All combustible materials will be kept way from temporary accommodation units and buildings being constructed and all escape
routes. Consideration will be given to use of less combustible or fire resisting materials.

The use of acetylene on Lovell projects is to be eliminated whenever possible and alternative methods of cutting and welding
should be used. Where its use is unavoidable, the number of cylinders is to be kept to a minimum. Site management must be
informed of its use and a dedicated risk assessment and enhanced hot works permit is to be produced, reviewed and
implemented.

Storage arrangements are as follows: (empty and full containers are to be separated in secure cages). Note: Storage of
acetylene cylinders on Lovell projects or premises is not permitted, they are to be removed as soon as their use is complete.

Temporary electrics
The site temporary installation is to be inspected every 3 months max. (Temporary electric supply to the units)
Site office unit permanent wiring - 12 months max. (Consumer unit and hard wiring within the units)
Site office equipment fitted with plugs – each time a site is established or every 12 months whichever is soonest.
On site tools and equipment (Lovell and contractor owned) – PAT 3 months max.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 16 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

Halogen lighting is not permitted on site; alternatives are to be used such as protected fluorescent lighting.

Hot works (delete or expand as appropriate)

Hot works include all flame, heat and spark producing activities such as soldering, welding and cutting, grinding, applying weather
coatings such as felt, asphalt etc. Alternative methods to hot work should be adopted where possible. When there is no alternative
to hot work then, if possible, the hot work should be undertaken in a dedicated area away from the area of work or storage of
materials.

All hot work must be subject to a hot work permit once fitting out work has commenced on site and in all buildings which are
being refurbished. Before starting hot work, the area must be cleared of all loose combustible material and, if work is to take
place on one side of a wall or partition or ceiling etc., the opposite side must be examined to ensure no combustible material will
be ignited by conducted heat.

A suitable number of appropriate fire extinguishers must be at hand with a careful watch being maintained for fire breaking out
whilst work is in progress.

Exposed wooden flooring and other items of combustible material which cannot be removed must be covered with non-
combustible material i.e. Gyproc Fireline, Minerit board etc.

When welding, cutting or grinding, the work area must be suitably screened using non-combustible material.

Gas cylinders must be secured in a vertical position and fitted with a regulator and flashback arrester.

Tar boilers and similar equipment should be placed at ground level wherever possible. Only if a risk assessment shows that overall
it is a greater hazard to have the boiler on the ground, may it be placed in another location convenient for the works.

The following precautions should be applied when using tar boilers;

a non-combustible heat insulating base must be provided; the equipment must be supervised by an experienced operative who
can monitor the bitumen level and temperature and ensure the lid remains on the boiler; the boiler should be sited where spilled
material can easily be controlled; gas cylinders must be at least 3 metres from the burner and secured in a vertical position and
connected by flexible armoured hose; at least 2 appropriate fire extinguishers must be to hand; hazardous materials must be
removed from the location as soon as work is completed (and before the hot work permit is signed off ); a lit tar boiler must not
be left unattended.

Any area specified in a hot work permit must be constantly monitored throughout the works and then periodically examined
during the hour immediately following completion of the work (or any other period as identified by a risk assessment) before the
permit is signed off.

Flammable waste
The following waste is anticipated that may present a fire hazard:

Timber, cardboard, paper, plastics, polythene, polystyrene, general packaging, empty adhesive containers, some paints/tins. All
skips sited in public areas to be lockable. Skips to be sited at least 3m from any structure and other buildings where possible.

Special skips/methods of disposal

Any hazardous materials of waste must be disposed of in skips or bins with close fitting metal lids

PLANT

Fire extinguishers
Where practical, all mobile plant shall carry an appropriate fire extinguisher.

Hazardous plant and equipment

The following plant or equipment feature naked flame(s) or the like, or other evident fire hazard:

Drying equipment
Blow torch

Diesel: In double skinned tank stored within a suitable bund

Petrol: Secure containers over 110% bunding (maximum 20l)

Refuelling: Do not refuel when equipment is still hot – allow to cool. Pour carefully wearing suitable gloves. Use a plastic funnel
so as not to generate sparks. No smoking or naked lights and only refuel in the open air. Wear suitable eye protection where
splashes likely. Only refuel in appropriate designated areas.
Spill pads are to be used under fuel tanks when decanting.

First Aid:

A proportionate, adequately stocked first aid box stocked will be provided on site.

The appointed first aiders for this project are identified in the management team listings and their details will be displayed on the
site notice board.

Contractors are to ensure adequate and appropriate first aid provisions are made for their employees.

Reporting and investigation of accidents and incidents including learning events (near misses):
All reportable incidents and other health, safety and environmental issues must be reported to the H, S & E team, relevant line
Manager, Operations Director and Regional Managing Director as soon as possible.

All incidents and learning events are to be recorded on Project Plus and communicated to the health, safety and
environment team. A view will be taken as to whether a full investigation is necessary – minor incidents may be
investigated by site management where appropriate. Root cause to be established to allow control measures to be
introduced to prevent recurrence. Refer to the flow charts on the following pages.
Violent incidents are to be recorded using Project Plus. Violent incidents can be categorised as, but not exclusive to,
assault, verbal abuse, threats, sexual, disability, racial and homophobic abuse.

Safety risks including; (delete or expand each section as appropriate ensuring information detailed is relevant to the project)
Refer to the Project Risk List for relevant risks identified for this project.
For further guidance, follow link to Risk assessments for activities involving Lovell personnel, HSE Guidance Documents and relevant Lovell policies.
Contractors’ risks assessments and associated method statements will further detail required specific controls
Housekeeping The site boundary fence or hoarding is to be regularly checked to ensure it is maintained in good repair, has not fallen/blown over, provides adequate security
against unauthorised access and is not damaged.
Refer to Housekeeping Only authorised people are allowed on site – gates should be closed between deliveries.
risk assessment for Vehicles and pedestrians are to be kept apart while they are moving around the site where practically possible.
further information
Footpaths and traffic routes are to be firm, levelled if rutted, stoned if muddy, gritted when icy.
Walkways, stairs and work areas are to be kept clear and free from obstructions such as trailing cables, waste and unused materials.
Cables, particularly on landings and along corridors, are to be managed so they do not present tripping hazards.
Properly constructed access into plots is to be provided. Use of suitably compacted aggregate ramps into plots is preferred.
Steps into site cabins are to be properly constructed.
Work areas are to be kept as tidy as possible while the work’s going on.
All holes and excavations into which people could fall are to have adequate barriers around, or covers over them.
Adequate skips are to be positioned where they can be filled easily, and collected safely.
Storage areas are to be kept tidy – deliveries should be planned to minimise the amount of materials on site.
Explain to everyone on site the importance of keeping their work area clear and enforce it.
Refer to ‘Construction dusts’ section for health risks controls.
‘Take 5’ to be implemented by Black Hat Supervisors at every break time.
Regular site inspections to be undertaken by senior site management,
Demolition Only competent, experienced persons are to be involved in demolition tasks.
Click for Demolition policy Working at height is to be thoroughly planned and the hierarchy of control followed.
• Exclusion zones are to be established where necessary.
• Suitable covered areas may be required to prevent injury from flying debris – particularly to the public.
The method statement for the demolition should identify the sequence required to prevent accidental collapse of the structure.
Gas, electricity, water and telecommunications services need to be isolated or disconnected before demolition work begins. If this is not possible, pipes and cables
must be labelled clearly, to make sure they are not disturbed.
Effective traffic management systems are to be implemented where necessary. Where possible, vision aids and zero tail swing machines should be used.
Control of removing any hazardous materials must be considered, for example silica dust, asbestos, paints, flammable liquids, unidentified drums etc.
Measures to prevent or control noise are to be detailed along with ways to reduce worker exposure to vibration.
Fire controls are to be detailed - during structural alteration, existing fire plans must be kept up to date as escape routes and fire points may alter. There must be
an effective way to raise the alarm.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 26 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

Excavations Excavations should be properly supported, stepped or battered back to prevent them collapsing. Excavation support may involve the use of shuttering and shoring
Click for Excavations or a trench box system - don’t assume ground will stand unsupported. Shoring/support designs are to be checked in accordance with our temporary works
policy procedure.
Provide a safe means of access into the excavation, such as a secured ladder.
Provide edge protection, fencing or barriers to prevent anyone falling into the excavation - also take steps to prevent excavated material falling into the excavation.
Keep plant and materials away from the edge.
Avoid underground and overhead services – refer to relevant section in this PMP.
Make sure adjacent structures are not undermined – dig well away from them.
Check the excavation each day before work starts and after any event that may affect its stability – e.g. a fall of material or poor weather. Keep records so people
can be sure it is safe for work to continue.

Working at height Before working at height, you must work through these simple steps:
• avoid work at height where it is reasonably practicable to do so;
Click for Working at height • where work at height cannot be avoided, prevent falls using either an existing place of work that is already safe or the right type of equipment;
policy • minimise the distance and consequences of a fall, by using the right type of equipment where the risk cannot be eliminated.
People with sufficient skills, knowledge and experience are to be used to carry out work at height task, or, if they are being trained, they are to work under the
supervision of somebody competent to do it.
When a more technical level of competence is required, for example scaffolders or MEWP operators, relevant training and certification schemes is one way to help
demonstrate competence, i.e. CISRS or IPAF.
Work planning - The following are to be considered when planning and undertaking work at height:
Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 28 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Take account of weather conditions that could compromise worker safety;
Check that the place where work at height is to be undertaken is safe. Each place where people will work at height needs to be checked every time, before use;
Stop materials or objects from falling or take suitable and sufficient measures to make sure no one can be injured;
Working at height Store materials and objects safely so they won’t cause injury if they are disturbed or collapse;
cont. Plan for emergencies and rescue and agree a set procedure for evacuation for foreseeable situations. Brief all involved persons into the emergency procedures. Do
not rely entirely on the emergency services for rescue although it is good practise to liaise with them during planning.
Click for Working at height Due regard should be given to ground conditions and the movement of vehicles and plant when planning work at height activities and location of equipment to be
policy used.
Collective protection - Where temporary guardrails are used for edge protection, they must consist of a top guardrail, 950mm minimum from
platform/ground/floor, an intermediate guardrail positioned to achieve no gaps greater than 470mm, and a toe board which is to be of a suitable height and
strength. If materials are to be stacked above the toe board height then additional barriers such as adequate brickguards are to be provided.
Adequate physical edge protection must be provided in any situation where injury from falling could occur – i.e. stairwells, openings, excavations.
Edge protection must be robust enough to prevent persons from falling.
Fall arrest measures such as safety nets may be considered where other measures are unsuitable.
Scaffolding (tube and fitting, system, bandstands, trestles etc.) - Scaffolding of all types is to be erected, adapted and dismantled by authorised, suitably trained
competent persons only.
Put-log scaffolds should not be used.
Scaffolding is to be adequately erected in accordance with the prevailing technical guidance series (TG20)
All bespoke designed scaffolds (i.e. any that an NASC TG20 ‘Compliance Sheet’ cannot be generated for) will have the design checked in accordance with Lovell
Temporary Works Procedures.
When flexible materials are used to clad scaffolding, these must conform to the fire requirements of the Loss Prevention Standard (LPS 1215).
Bandstands must be fully boarded and fitted with a proprietary stability and integral edge protection system incorporating a handrail, brickguards, toe board and
ladder access. Boards/staging are to be supported at the manufacturers’ recommended centres.
Attention should be given to ensure the intended actual loadings on the scaffold have been considered within the design process. The adequacy of scaffold
foundations and ground conditions are also important factors.
Works are to be programmed to permit tasks such as painting, mastic sealants, cleaning and removal of protective material to be completed prior to the
dismantling of scaffolds/working platforms where possible.
Birdcage scaffolding/internal fall prevention platforms are to be installed to suit the appropriate build stage.
Only purpose made ‘hop ups’ are permitted.
Makeshift platforms are not permitted.
Scaffolding in public areas - Consideration is to be given to the duration of erection – not erected too soon before works are carried out and removed at earliest
opportunity following completion of works.
Suitable measures to protect members of the public are to be provided during erection, dismantling and use. This includes safe access in/out of properties.
Measures to prevent unauthorised climbing/access to scaffolding as far as is reasonably practicable are to be considered – allowing safe access to properties.
Additional measures should be taken to prevent unauthorised access onto scaffolds where they are against windows, landings with operable windows, balconies
etc. as appropriate.
Instruction to residents regarding not accessing scaffolding are to be communicated.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 29 of 81

 Ladders that can be accessed from the ground are to be removed at the end of each shift/work activity. Where it is not reasonably practicable to remove bottom
lift ladders out of hours, a robust ladder guard may be a suitable alternative.
If a through ladder arrangement is used, a lockable trap door must be provided, securely locked to prevent access when left unattended.
Working at height If scaffold is to be left in situ for a long duration i.e. for a total re-roof, a fully designed staircase should be considered in lieu of ladders, robustly securely protected
cont. at its base.
Self-closing ladder gates are to be used and ladder access is to be at right angles to the platform.
Click for Working at height Mobile Towers - Mobile towers are to be erected and dismantled by competent persons only.
policy The towers must be erected and used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions and recommendations, inclusive of the use of outriggers where
necessary.
Operatives are to access the platforms by using ladders provided on the inside of the tower only – no external or additional ladders are to be introduced.
A separate risk assessment is to be carried out where excessive horizontal forces are expected to prevent overturning – suitable ties may be required.
Mobile towers are to be visually inspected by a competent person before first use, every 7 days, following alteration or adaptation or following any event that may
have affected its strength or stability – a new inspection and report is not required every time it is moved to a new location on the same site.
Stop work if the inspection shows it is not safe to continue, and put right any faults.
The result of an inspection should be recorded in the Working Platform register.
A mobile tower should only be assembled and used in accordance with safe avoidance distances provided by the utility provider (GS6 survey).
Routes to and from work areas must be carefully considered to avoid contact with overhead power lines when transporting tower components.
Individual personal protection - Where collective protection is not practical or achievable, a suitable means of individual personal protection is to be considered.
Harness users must provide satisfactory proof of training and a satisfactory inspection regime.
Suitable anchor points are to be agreed, possibly in conjunction with a structural engineer.
Ladders - Suitable ladders can be used for work at height where risk assessment shows that using equipment offering a higher level of fall protection is not justified
because of the low risk and short duration of use; or there are existing workplace features which cannot be altered.
Short duration should not be the deciding factor in establishing whether use of a ladder is acceptable or not, the overall risk is to be considered. As a guide, if the task
requires staying up a leaning ladder or stepladder for more than 30 minutes at a time, it is recommended that alternative equipment is selected.
Only use ladders where they can be used safely, e.g. where the ladder will be level and stable, and where it is reasonably practicable to do so, the ladder can be secured. If
other options of securing a ladder cannot be achieved, the ladder should be footed by another operative. Footing should be viewed as a last resort.
Before starting a task, carry out a ‘pre-use’ check to spot any obvious visual defects to make sure the ladder is in a safe condition to use.
Use the ladder safely.
Ladders and stepladders used are to be either British Standard (BS) Class 1 Industrial or BS EN 131 (Professional). Domestic or non-professional grade equipment is
not permitted.
Follow the guidance detailed in Safe use of ladders and stepladders INDG 455 (HSE guidance) for safe use.
Roof voids - Walking on/working from ceiling cords/joists is forbidden.
Carry out works from below where possible or adequate staging/boarding is to be used.
Falling objects - Any materials stored or used at height are to remain inside edge protection measures provided (i.e. toeboards, brickguards.)
Loading bays are to have suitable gates fitted which are to remain closed following loading or unloading.
Loading bay gates are to have adequate internal guard rails which provide a physical barrier when in its open position.
An adequate exclusion zone is to be considered at the base of loading bays where appropriate.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 30 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Pedestrian routes should be so arranged that walking directly below the loading area is not possible to avoid injury from falling materials.
Gaps in platform boarding are to be kept to a minimum.
Platforms are to be positioned as close as is practical to the structure to suit the works in progress.
Working at height Access underneath a platform should be restricted or controlled to prevent persons being struck by loose material or debris.
cont. Store materials and objects safely so they won’t cause injury if they are disturbed or collapse.
Suitably fire retardant debris netting is to be used in addition to the measures mentioned above as appropriate i.e. close to public highways/footpaths.
Click for Working at height The throwing/dropping of materials, waste, tools etc. from height is strictly prohibited.
policy Adverse weather - Where adverse weather conditions, particularly high winds, severe icy conditions, heavy rain or extremes of temperature could compromise
worker safety, work should be stopped.
Work at height equipment is to be inspected by competent persons following adverse weather to establish if it remains safe for use.
Safe access - A suitable means of access is to be provided to all work at height equipment to ensure workers can get to and from their work place safely.
Stairways are the preferred method of access on scaffolding structures to buildings in excess of 2 storeys. Suitable hoists or access from within the building may
however prove more practical. Ladders may be used where scaffolding is in public areas.
Internal permanent staircases are to be installed at the earliest possible opportunity in preference to using ladders to access upper floors of dwellings.
External ladders are not to be used on mobile towers – the integral ladders provided are to be ascended/descended on the inside of the tower only.
Selection and maintenance of equipment - The most suitable equipment appropriate for the work should be selected for working at height.
Considerations should include;
The working conditions (i.e. working environment, weather, nearby activities);
The nature, frequency and duration of the work;
The risks to the safety of everyone where the work equipment will be used.
For further guidance refer to the free online resource WAIT (Work at height Access equipment Information Toolkit) that provides details of common types of
equipment used for work at height. (Available on the HSE website)
All relevant work at height equipment is to be visually inspected by competent persons before first use, every 7 days, following alteration or adaptation or
following any event that may have affected its strength or stability.
Results of inspections will be recorded in the relevant statutory register. Defects identified are to be rectified by the relevant competent persons without delay.
Where this is not possible, i.e. the defect is severe or the working platform is incomplete, a notice is to be displayed indicating that the working platform is not to
be used and all access prevented.

Lifting operations All lifting equipment is to be;

• Sufficiently strong, stable and suitable for the proposed use. Similarly, the load and anything attached, timber pallets, lifting points, etc., must be suitable.

Avoid parking telehandler or depositing loads within 10m of junctions to allow clear visibility whenever possible.
Sites are to provide properly planned, consolidated roads, free from potholes, at the earliest possible stage of site development to minimise travel on uneven or
unstable terrain. Where off road operation is unavoidable, excessive rutting is to be kept to a minimum. Telehandler routes are to be kept free of rubbish such as
bricks, pallets, timber, etc. and be positioned away from open excavations/weak ground where practically possible. Where not possible, suitable measures are to
be applied to prevent the telehandler access.
Operator to report any such issues to site management for suitable action to be taken.
Always wear the seatbelt when in use to reduce risk of injury should overturning occur.
Do not traverse gradients exceeding manufacturers recommendations and guidelines taught during operator training.
Always drive with the boom lowered to ensure centre of gravity of machine and load is as low as possible. Driving with boom raised should never be considered
"normal" practice.
If site is restricted so manoeuvring is impossible without raising the boom, report this to site management who should re-assess the use of a telehandler or
consider reselection of the chosen machine.
Modern telehandler design makes raising the boom to see under it unnecessary and regular driving of a telehandler with the boom raised should ALWAYS be
challenged.
If the telehandler is required to travel on steep gradients or to travel in a non-standard travelling mode (i.e. with the boom raised or extended in any way), a
dedicated risk assessment is required by a competent person referring to manufacturers’ information.
Should loads snag on other items, leave the cab and carefully assess how to safely free them rather than attempting to force with the machine.
Safely carry out daily visual checks and regular inspections in accordance with manufacturers operator handbook/instructions. Report any defects or problems to

Coronavirus Social distancing
(COVID-19) Workers in the construction industry should follow the guidance on Social Distancing. Where they cannot work from home, they must follow guidance on Meeting
With Others Safely and Safer Travel while travelling to and from work and while at work.
Shielding has been paused for those deemed to be clinically extremely vulnerable. If reintroduced in an area by the local authority, workers will receive a new formal
shielding notification and advised not to go to work.

Self-isolation
Anyone who;
• Has a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss of, or change in, their normal sense of taste or smell;
• Is within 10 days of receiving a positive Coronavirus (Covid-19) test result;
• Is within 14 days of the day when the first member of their household or support bubble showed symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) or received a positive test
result;
• Has returned from a country not on the travel corridors list and is required to quarantine for 14 days; or
• Has been contacted by the NHS Test & Trace Service;

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 39 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 must follow the guidance on self-isolation and should not come to site.

If someone falls ill

If a worker develops COVID 19 symptoms while at work, they should:
• Ensure their manager or supervisor is informed
• Return home immediately
• Avoid touching anything
• Cough or sneeze into a tissue and put it in a bin, or if they do not have tissues, cough and sneeze into the crook of their elbow.

They should get a Coronavirus (Covid-19) test.

They must follow Stay at home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection and not return to site until they have
received a negative test result or, in the event of a positive test result, until they have completed their period of self-isolation and are no longer unwell.
Sites that are informed of more than one confirmed case within 14 days will need to contact their local Public Health England protection team.
Further information can be found in the ‘What to do if a worker has Covid-19 or has to self-isolate’ flowchart (England only).

Coronavirus
(COVID-19) Travel to Work
Using Private Vehicles
Wherever possible workers should try not to share a vehicle with those outside their household or support bubble. If workers have no option but to share
transport, they should try to:
• Share with the same individuals and with the minimum number of people (up to a maximum of 6) at any one time
• Keep the windows open
• Travel side by side or behind other people, rather than facing them, where seating arrangements allow
• Maximise the distance between people
• Wear a face covering
• The vehicle should be cleaned between journeys, especially touch points, using gloves and standard cleaning products.

Using Public Transport

Where public transport is the only option for workers, they:
• Should try to avoid travelling during peak times (05:45 ‐ 8:15 and 16:00 ‐ 17:30); and
• Must wear a face covering.

Sites should consider:

• Changing and staggering site hours to reduce congestion on public transport

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 40 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 • Parking arrangements for additional vehicles and bicycles
• Providing facilities such as lockers and showers
• Providing hand cleaning facilities at entrances and exits. This should be soap and water wherever possible or hand sanitiser if soap and water are not available
• How someone taken ill would get home.

Driving at Work
When travelling at work or between site locations, workers should travel alone. If workers have no option but to share a vehicle, they should follow the
Government guidance on Working Safely during Coronavirus (Covid-19) - Vehicles, which provides information for people who work in or from vehicles, including
couriers, mobile workers, lorry drivers, on-site transit and work vehicles, field forces and similar.

Site Access and Egress Points

• Stop all non-essential visitors
• Consider introducing staggered start and finish times to reduce congestion and contact at all times
• Plan and manage site access and egress points to enable and control social distancing – may need to change the number of access points, either increase to
reduce congestion or decrease to enable monitoring, including in the case of emergencies
• Introduce one-way systems
• Allow plenty of space between people waiting to enter site
• Use signage:
Coronavirus • such as floor markings, to ensure current social distancing requirements are maintained between people when queuing
(COVID-19) • reminding workers not to attend if they have symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and to follow guidelines
• Require all workers to wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water when entering and leaving the site
• Regularly clean common contact surfaces in reception, office, access control and delivery areas e.g. entry systems, scanners, turnstiles, screens, telephone
handsets and desks, particularly during peak flow times
• Reduce the number of people in attendance at site inductions and consider holding them outdoors wherever possible
• Where loading and offloading arrangements on site will allow it, delivery drivers should remain in their vehicles. Where drivers are required to exit their vehicle,
they should wash or sanitise their hands before handling any materials
• Drivers must be provided with access to suitable toilet and hand washing facilities and made aware of the social distancing measures in place
• Consider arrangements for monitoring compliance.

Hand Washing
• Allow regular breaks to wash hands
• Provide additional hand washing facilities (e.g. pop ups) to the usual welfare facilities, particularly where there are significant numbers of personnel on site,
including plant operators
• Ensure adequate supplies of soap and fresh water are readily available and kept topped up at all times
• Provide hand sanitiser (minimum 60% alcohol based) where hand washing facilities are unavailable
• Regularly clean the hand washing facilities
• Provide suitable and sufficient rubbish bins for hand towels with regular removal and disposal.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 41 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Toilet Facilities
• Restrict the number of people using toilet facilities at any one time (e.g. use a welfare attendant) and use signage, such as floor markings, to maintain current
social distancing requirements.
• Wash or sanitise hands before and after using the facilities
• Enhance the cleaning regimes for toilet facilities, particularly door handles, locks and the toilet flush
• Portable toilets should be cleaned and emptied more frequently
• Provide suitable and sufficient rubbish bins for hand towels with regular removal and disposal.

Canteens and Rest Areas

A canteen is a place that serves food and an NHS QR code must be displayed and face coverings worn, except when seated at a table to eat or drink. Government
guidance on Keeping workers and customers safe during Covid-19 in restaurants should be followed and this Food Standards Agency Checklist may be helpful.
Rest areas where no food is served but which have facilities to prepare and eat food and a means of boiling water are not required to display an NHS QR code.

• Consider increasing the number or size of facilities available on site if possible

• The capacity should be clearly identified at the entry to each facility, and where necessary attendants provided to supervise compliance with social distancing
measures
• Break times should be staggered to reduce congestion and contact at all times
Coronavirus • Drinking water should be provided with enhanced cleaning measures of the tap mechanism introduced
(COVID-19) • Frequently clean surfaces that are touched regularly, using standard cleaning products e.g. kettles, refrigerators, microwaves
• Hand cleaning facilities or hand sanitiser should be available at the entrance to any room where people eat and should be used by workers when entering and
leaving the area
• Seating and tables should be reconfigured to reduce face to face interactions
• All rubbish should be put straight in the bin and not left for someone else to clear up
• Tables and chairs should be cleaned between each use
• Crockery, eating utensils, cups etc. should be disposable or washed and dried between use
• Payments should be taken by contactless card wherever possible
• Canteen staff should wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food
• Canteen staff and workers may use the same rest areas if they apply the same social distancing measures
• Consider arrangements for monitoring compliance.

Changing Facilities, Showers and Drying Rooms

• Consider increasing the number or size of facilities available on site if possible
• Based on the size of each facility, determine how many people can use it at any one time to maintain current social distancing requirements.
• Restrict the number of people using these facilities at any one time e.g. use a welfare attendant
• Introduce staggered start and finish times to reduce congestion and contact at all times
• Introduce enhanced cleaning of all facilities throughout the day and at the end of each day

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 42 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 • Provide suitable and sufficient rubbish bins in these areas with regular removal and disposal.

Avoiding close working

Workers must endeavour to maintain 2m social distancing in the workplace wherever possible.
Tasks that would normally be carried out closer than 2m must be properly planned to see if alternative methods can be used to keep workers 2m apart.
The health and safety requirements of any construction activity must not be compromised. If an activity cannot be undertaken safely, it should not take place.
If unable to work whilst maintaining 2m distance, we will strongly consider whether the activity should continue and, if so, will ensure it is risk assessed using the
hierarchy of controls below, referring to any sector-specific guidance;

ELIMINATE
• Workers who are unwell with symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) should not travel to or attend the workplace.
• Rearrange tasks to enable them to be done by one person, or by maintaining social distancing measures (2 metres).
• Prioritise alternative methods or additional mechanical aids to reduce worker interface.
• Avoid skin to skin and face to face contact.
• Use stairs in preference to lifts or hoists and considering one ways systems in corridors or pedestrian routes.

REDUCE
Where the social distancing measures (2m) cannot be applied;
Coronavirus
• Minimise frequency and time workers are within 2m of each other.
(COVID-19)
• Minimise the number of workers involved in these tasks.
• Instruct workers to work side by side, or facing away from each other, rather than face to face.
• Lower the worker capacity of lifts and hoists to reduce congestion and contact at all times.
• Regularly cleaning common touchpoints, doors, buttons, handles, vehicle cabs, tools, equipment etc.
• Increase ventilation in enclosed spaces.
• Instruct workers to wash their hands before and after using any equipment.

ISOLATE
• Keep groups of workers that must work within 2m together in teams, keeping those teams as small as possible and away from other workers where possible.
• Use screens or barriers to separate people from each other where practical.
CONTROL
Where face to face working is essential to carry out a task when working within 2m;
• Keep the activity time involved as short as is possible.
• Consider an enhanced authorisation process for these activities, such as a permit to work.
• Provide additional supervision to monitor and manage compliance.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 43 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 • Our standard non COVID-19 site PPE requirements remain in force - safety helmet, safety footwear with toe and midsole protection, hi-vis vest or coat and task
suitable gloves.
• Other PPE must be worn in accordance with individual activity risk assessments, e.g. FFP3/P3 for construction dust hazards.
• Washable PPE (hi-vis vest, gloves etc.) is to be washed regularly in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions and replaced when necessary.
• We do not encourage the precautionary use of PPE to protect against COVID-19 where 2m social distancing can be achieved.
• Where, after working through the hierarchy of controls, other measures prove unsatisfactory, COVID-19 PPE can be considered.
• Where this is the case FFP2/P2 (minimum) respirators are to be worn.
• Normal face fit testing and clean shaven rules apply.
• Workers with facial hair to wear APF 10 (minimum) powered hood.
• Workers must be briefed on how to properly wear and remove RPE.
• Re-usable PPE is to be thoroughly cleaned after use and not shared between workers.
• Single use PPE is to be disposed of so it cannot be reused.
• Hands are to be thoroughly washed following removal and cleaning of reusable PPE.

BEHAVIOURS
Everyone at work is responsible for adhering to agreed methods of working to minimise the risk of spread of infection.
An open and collaborative approach between workers and employers on site is encouraged so issues can be openly discussed and addressed.
Any person observed not working in accordance with agreed methods of working will be prevented from working

Face coverings
Where workers are not required to wear Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) and the workplace meets all of the criteria below, face coverings should be worn
in:
• An enclosed space;
• Where social distancing isn’t always possible; and
• Where they come into contact with others they do not normally meet.

Premises providing hospitality, face coverings must be worn in canteens except when seated at a table to eat or drink.

First Aid and Emergency Service Response

The primary responsibility is to preserve life and first aid should be administered if required and until the emergency services attend.
• When planning site activities, the provision of adequate first aid resources must be agreed between the relevant parties on site
• Emergency plans including contact details should be kept up to date
• Consideration must also be given to potential delays in emergency services response, due to pressure on resources
• Consider preventing or rescheduling high-risk work or providing additional competent first aid or trauma resources.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 44 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Cleaning
Enhanced cleaning procedures should be in place across the site, particularly in communal areas and at touch points including:
• Taps and washing facilities
• Toilet flush and seats
• Door handles and push plates
• Hand rails on staircases and corridors
• Lift and hoist controls
• Machinery and equipment controls
• All areas used for eating must be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each break and shift, including chairs, door handles, vending machines and payment devices.
• Telephone equipment
• Key boards, photocopiers and other office equipment
• Rubbish collection and storage points should be increased and emptied regularly throughout and at the end of each day.

General arrangements
• Make regular announcements to remind workforce and visitors to follow social distancing rules and wash their hands regularly.
• Programme work to optimise 2m separation working for all activities acknowledging productivity may need to reduce.
• Establish 2m separation measures across the site - use spray paint, physical markers (barriers, cones etc.), and display pictorial signage available on Insite.
Standard pedestrian barriers are 2.3m so are a good marker to use.
• Ensure evacuation assembly point(s) are arranged to optimise 2m separation.
• Arrange PAVES and logistics plans to maximise 2m separation measures. Consider one way routes or passing places for pedestrians to wait 2m apart for others
to pass.

Site office and site meetings

• Review the site office seating plan to optimise 2m separation.
• Arrange furniture for ease of regular cleaning.
• Access to the site office should be restricted to the Lovell management team only.
• Use phone or text to communicate with workforce.
• Set up WhatsApp groups or similar for ‘send to many’ communications.
• Decide how inductions/briefings will be carried out to maintain 2m separation. Select a suitable location in the open air if practical (weather dependant).
• Arrange chosen rooms to optimise 2m attendee separation.
• Select a room with good ventilation and windows which can be opened.
• Use remote technology for site meetings - Teams, Skype etc.
• Keep facilities clear and tidy to allow thorough cleaning.
• Avoid storing materials in accommodation units.
• Attendees should be at least two metres apart from each other

for further information

Plasterboard handling - Load out boards by machine and plan to make sure the site is organised so they can be delivered close to where they need to be.
Use panel trolleys or other mechanical aids to move boards around site. Keep them well maintained.
Use plasterboard lifts or adjustable props to position boards safely for fixing. For low-level wall panels, use a foot-operated board lifter to avoid stooping.
Where positioning aids cannot be used, for example in stairwells or tight spaces, use smaller size boards that are easier to handle.
Make reasonable checks to ensure workers are trained to use lifting equipment and handling aids safely.

Handling heavy blocks - the lightest block that has the required strength, unless otherwise specified by a designer for genuine technical reason is to be selected - if
using large foundation (trench) blocks, consider units with handholds to help grip.
Avoid double handling by carrying from block stacks to the work area. Use handling equipment to take the blocks to where they are to be laid. Organise site traffic
routes and scaffolding bays to deliver blocks close to where they will be laid.
Where possible, use lightweight foundation (trench) blocks that have handholds and consider using half-size blocks. Consider widening trenches so blocks can be
laid at foot level, not below it.
Adapt scaffolding and working platforms to allow blocks to be laid between chest and knee height. It places less stress on the body and work rate is faster.
Always try to lay between shoulder and waist height, use staging or adapt work platforms to help. If unavoidable, reduce laying rate or consider a half-size block.
Arrange block stacks and spot boards at a comfortable position.
Handle blocks close to the body when lifting into position. Arrange block stacks with clear access and small enough to avoid over-reaching.
Make reasonable checks to ensure workers are trained to use lifting equipment and handling aids safely.
Keep stored blocks dry to avoid weight gain from rain.

Handling road kerbs - follow the hierarchy of control measures;

Elimination - eliminate manual lifting of kerbs at the design stage, (e.g. use alternative construction methods that do not involve manual handling or eliminate the
need for the kerb).
Total mechanisation - ensure kerbs are handled and laid mechanically (e.g. using vacuum devices/mechanical grabs etc.).
Partial mechanisation - ensure that the maximum amount of the kerb handling process is undertaken mechanically (e.g. using mechanical solutions to get the kerb
near its final position, off-loading using a hoist etc.). Using smaller/lighter kerbs or handling aids will further reduce the risks from any residual manual handling.
Manual handling - in rare cases where it is not possible to use any of the above solutions, short stretches of kerb may be laid manually. Where this is necessary
workers should be trained in good handling techniques. The use of lighter weight kerbs, or devices which allow two people to share the lift, will further reduce the
risk of injury.

Low vibration is not the only answer however, a higher vibrating tool that does the job in half the time may be the best option.
Use the right tool for each job to do the job more quickly and expose users to less vibration.
Check tools before use to make sure they have been properly maintained and repaired to avoid increased vibration caused by faults or general wear.
Keep cutting tools sharp so they remain efficient.
Reduce the amount of time used on a tool in one go, by doing other jobs in between.
Avoid gripping or forcing a tool or work piece more than necessary.
Consider the materials being worked on as harder materials can present a higher risk.
Store vibrating tools so that they do not have very cold handles or grips when next used.
Encourage good blood circulation by instructing users to keep warm and dry, e.g. wear warm waterproof clothing, giving up or cutting down on smoking as this
reduces blood flow, and massaging and exercising fingers during work breaks.

Suitable arrangements for support and protection of gas equipment must be detailed above, including preventing ingress of
foreign materials where appropriate.

Guidance.

Anyone who works on gas must be competent to do so. The level and range of competence should match the full extent of work
done, but needs only to be sufficient for and relevant to that work. Employers of gas fitting operatives are required to ensure
that their employees have the required competence for the work undertaken; in addition to ensuring they are properly
experienced and trained. This involves ongoing monitoring of performance standards, as necessary.

Before a significant alteration is made to premises where a gas appliance or equipment is installed, e.g. installation or removal
of windows, air bricks, extractor fan units, re-roofing, external cladding work etc., any implications for gas appliance/fitting
safety need to be properly addressed – seek the advice of a competent gas engineer.

In some cases, the effects of particular work for gas safety may be obvious. For example, where a chimney is being reduced in
height or capped, its effectiveness in removing flue gases may be drastically affected. Before such work is started, it needs to be
established whether, or not, the chimney is active and, if so, allowance made for this in the way the work is carried out. This
may include planning for appliances to be disconnected before work commences, preventing debris falling or being thrown
down the chimney, and ensuring appliances are tested for safety after the work has been completed. Disconnection/testing of
appliances must only be carried out by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. Similar consideration needs to be given to any proposed
alterations which might affect operation of a flue system, e.g. fitting a flue liner or terminal.

In other cases, the effects of the work may not be so obvious. For example, when fitting double glazing or cavity wall insulation,
providing a temporary roof covering over a building, the removal of fixed permanent ventilation, such as air bricks, and
replacement with closable ventilation louvres (in contravention of standards) or blockage of vents by insulation material, can
lead to danger from reduced ventilation/incomplete combustion. Equally, fitting extractor fans can lead to the pull on flues
being overcome and flue products being sucked back into premises. Moreover, the enclosure of an existing flue terminal within
a new extension or conservatory (again in contravention of standards) can lead to flue gases becoming entrapped. All
alterations must be properly planned.

In accordance with regulation 9 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, a person who allows gas to flow into
any premises for the first time should ensure an appropriately sited emergency control is in place. Where there is a gas meter,
the meter control may serve as the emergency control as long as the conditions (as follows) are met. Each individual premises
(e.g. each house or flat) using a supply of gas should be provided with an emergency control, whether or not that premises
contains a gas meter. The emergency control should be situated as near as is reasonably practicable to the point where the pipe
supplying gas enters the premises. It should be readily accessible to all consumers, i.e. gas users, in the premises concerned (e.g.
not located in a basement or cellar); therefore, a valve located in a meter-room which is normally locked, and accessible only to
a landlord, gas supplier, gas transporter and/or emergency services, for example, cannot act as an ‘emergency control’.
In the case of LPG, this regulation only applies where the gas is supplied from a storage tank or tanks, or from two or more
cylinders connected by an automatic changeover device. In other cases, the vapour valve on each cylinder also functions as a
shut-off control and no additional provision is necessary. For further information refer to ‘Safety in the installation and use of
gas systems and appliances L56’

8. The Health and Safety File

Each contractor and supplier will be requested to supply information relating to materials supplied and or works packages
completed.

Information will be requested at the earliest possible opportunity as it becomes increasingly more difficult to obtain information
from contractors or suppliers who have left site or have completed delivery of materials.

The information will be collected and passed to the Principal Designer and the main file as soon as it is available and will not be
left towards the end of the contract period.

Health and safety file format

Check the Pre-construction Information (PCI) to ensure that the clients requested format is detailed in this section – if none provided, use the
format below

Section Content
A A brief description of the work carried out.
B Any hazards that have not been eliminated through the design and construction processes, and how they have
been addressed (e.g. surveys or other information concerning asbestos or contaminated land)
C Key structural principles (e.g. bracing, sources of substantial stored energy – including pre or post-tensioned
members) and safe working loads for floors and roofs.

D Hazardous materials used (e.g. lead paint; pesticides; special coatings)

E Information regarding the removal or dismantling of installed plant and equipment (e.g. any special
arrangement for lifting such equipment)
F Health and safety information about equipment provided for cleaning or maintaining the structure

G The nature, location and markings of significant services, including underground cables; gas supply equipment;
firefighting services etc.
H Information and as-built drawings of the building, its plant and equipment (e.g. the means of safe access to and
from service voids and fire doors)

There should be enough detail to allow the likely risks to be identified and addressed by those carrying out the work. However,
the level of detail should be proportionate to the risks. The file should not include things that will be of no help when planning
future construction work such as pre-construction information, the construction phase plan, contractual documents, safety
method statements etc. Information must be in a convenient form, clear, concise and easily understandable

9. Environment

Operational Control
Site management are responsible for ensuring all necessary environmental control measures identified within this plan are
followed and implemented prior to start of any construction activities.
Pre start meetings with contractors will assess arrangements contractors have provided for minimising waste. Surveyor and
Contracts Manager are responsible for ensuring contractors have included waste controls within their site documentation and
they sign the administration document before signing off the order.
Site induction will include environmental controls in place or necessary actions required.

Monitoring
Site management will undertake weekly recorded inspections to ensure relevant environmental control measures are
appropriate, and controls are being complied with.
Site environmental compliance will also be monitored regularly by our health, safety and environment team. The inspection
report will be discussed with site management and any recommendations will be actioned as necessary.

Local environmental issues

Refer to the Project Risk List for relevant risks identified for this project.
For further guidance, follow link to Environment Policy

Resource efficiency Where possible this project will look to improve resource efficiency and reduce waste by;
Specifying materials from sustainable sources; recycled and locally sourced.
Designing the project to suit standard product sizes and to avoid site cutting.
Designing for off-site, pre-assembly and ensuring that products are responsibly sourced.
Designing to allow a cut/fill balance and by utilising surplus materials in site features (such as landscaping).
Look for opportunities to source excess materials from other projects.
Specifying non-hazardous, low impact materials with low embodied carbon.
Designing to allow for disassembly so components can be recovered and used elsewhere.
Buying construction products from sustainable sources from suppliers with a good environmental track record.
Not over-ordering materials.
Reducing packaging where possible.
Ordering materials at the size required to avoid off-cuts.
Avoiding over excavating.
Storing materials to avoid damage, theft, contamination, and double handling.
Segregating surplus materials for reuse elsewhere.
Crushing existing demolition waste for reuse to avoid the need for virgin materials.

Waste management Waste is defined as a substance or object which the holder discards, intends to discard or is required to discard. The Environmental Protection Act also states, 'any
substance which constitutes a scrap material, an effluent or other unwanted arising from the application of any process or any substance or article, which requires
to be disposed of, which has been broken, worn out, contaminated or otherwise spoiled.'
Surplus material will be correctly identified as waste as appropriate and classified as non-hazardous or hazardous with reference to the European Waste Catalogue
(EWC) 6 digit list of waste codes.
The standard industry classification (SIC) code will be correctly identified.
Waste will be passed to an authorised person with the correct technical competence who hold the relevant environmental permit or license as appropriate.
All contractors who carry or collect construction and demolition waste will have the correct waste carrier's licence.
All waste transfers will be supported by the correct controlled waste transfer note for non-hazardous waste, and a consignment note for hazardous waste. Both
are to include a declaration that the producer of waste has considered the hierarchy in disposing of the material. Waste transfer notes will be kept for 2 years and
consignment notes for 3 years.
In Wales, producers of 500kg or more hazardous waste (such as oils or asbestos) must register the premises with NRW.
Where materials are to be treated or processed on site before being suitable for reuse, consideration will be given as to whether this activity requires an
environmental permit or registered exemption. Compliance with CL:AIRE or WRAP protocols for the production of aggregates from inert waste may avoid the
requirement of an environmental permit for reuse of processed material.
There are certain types of waste which are banned from landfill. These must be either recovered, recycled, or disposed of in other ways;

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 58 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 • Any liquid waste,
• Infectious medical or veterinary waste,
• Whole or shredded used tyres,
• Waste that may cause a problem in landfill such as hot or chemically active waste.

Difficult wastes require handling in a particular way, waste contractors will be consulted;
• Invasive weeds e.g. Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed,
• Contaminated land,
• Gypsum and plasterboard wastes.

This project will endeavour to apply the waste hierarchy by implementing the following;

Prevention or minimisation
Designing to suit standard product sizes and to avoid site cutting.
Designing levels to avoid excavation materials leaving site.
Specifying recycled materials.
Pre-assembling components off site or using pre-cast sections.
Not over-ordering materials.
Reducing packaging where possible.
Ordering materials at the size required, to avoid off-cuts.
Promoting employee awareness of environmental matters.
Avoiding over excavating.
Reuse
Reusing soils for landscaping.
Using timber off-cuts for alternative uses.
Using brick rubble as hardcore.
Identifying whether other sites can use materials.
Recycling
Crushing waste concrete to use a hardcore.
Recycling asphalt planings as road sub base or temporary surfacing.
Recycling scrap metal, glass and waste oil.
Segregating waste materials.
Recycling office waste.
In Scotland, dry recyclables must be kept separate. This includes glass, metals, plastic, paper, card or cardboard.
Recover
Sending waste for composting or energy recovery (such as timber off site to be shredded for use as biomass fuel, or composting.)

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 59 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Disposal
Sending canteen or office waste for disposal to a local landfill site.

Site waste A SWMP will be produced and maintained for this project. This will;
management plan Identify wastes early so they can be minimised through design and procurement practises before construction starts.
(SWMP) Help to ensure all wastes being disposed of end up in the right place.
Demonstrate how waste is managed.
Manage materials and waste responsibly meaning less environmental risk.
Provide valuable information for future projects on waste reduction.

Water management All existing site drainage and provisions made for pollution prevention for protection against oils, fuels and silts will be identified. Surface, foul and combined water
drains will be marked to distinguish between them.
Permanent drainage will be installed as early as possible which will help to avoid temporary discharges to surface water.
All drains will be protected to prevent accidental ingress from mud and silt.
Stockpiled materials will be stored way from drainage systems and watercourses. Additional measures, such as silt fences, may be used as appropriate.
Any abstraction of water from surface water or piped mains (standpipe) requires consent from either Environment Agency (EA) Natural Resources Wales (NRW), or
Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), or the relevant water authority respectively.
All discharges to foul water drainage systems require discharge consent from the local water authority and the consent conditions will be strictly complied with. A
Permit to discharge (HSE 028) is to be used for this purpose.
Fuels and chemicals will be stored on impervious material away from drains and watercourses when possible. These will be suitably bunded to prevent pollution in
the event of leakage or spillage. Refuelling will be carried out at designated locations away from drains and watercourses.
Water from boot or vehicle washing facilities is to be removed to foul water drainage systems with consent of the water authority, or removed by tanker.
Concrete and mortar washout will not be allowed to enter surface water systems.
Monitoring of all discharges will be made on regular basis to ensure consent conditions are being complied with. Oil and chemical storage will also be inspected.
Site and public roads will be regularly swept/cleaned to reduce silt and mud entering surface water drainage systems.

Temporary dewatering An environmental permit will usually be required if liquid or waste water is to be discharged into surface water.
from excavations to However, a permit is not required if there is a short term, temporary discharge of uncontaminated water which is wholly or mainly rainwater, from an excavation
surface water to surface water (such as pumping rainwater out of excavations on site), and we comply with all the following conditions;
The discharge must:
• be clean water, for example clear rainwater or infiltrated groundwater which has collected in the bottom of temporary excavations
• not result in water containing fine or coarse suspended solids (silty water) entering surface water
• not last more than 3 consecutive months (the activity may stop and restart but the clock does not restart) - if the activity is likely to go over 3 consecutive
months then we need to apply for a permit
• be made to surface water, such as a river, stream or the sea
• be under control of a method statement that minimises the risk of pollution

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 60 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 The discharge must not:
• pollute surface water
• contain any chemical dosing agents, flocculants or coagulants
• be from a site which is contaminated by oil, metals, hydrocarbons, solvents or pesticides or other polluting substances
• result in the spread of non-native invasive species, parasites or disease
• cause flooding from surface water
• cause erosion of the banks or bed of the receiving watercourse
• contain concrete wash water even if it has been treated
• contain site drainage from surface areas such as haul roads, storage or working areas
• be from a site with naturally elevated concentrations of substances which exceed environmental quality standards
• be located within, or less than 500 metres upstream of:
• Sites of Special Scientific Interest
• Special Areas of Conservation (SACs)
• Special Protection Areas (SPAs)
• candidate SACs, possible SACs, potential SPAs and sites of community importance
• internationally designated Ramsar sites
• other nature conservation sites, such as ancient woodlands, local and national nature reserves – check the map
• local wildlife sites – find your local council
Contact the Environment Agency if the discharge rate is more than 10% of the dry weather flow (Q95 low flow) rate of the surface water. A high discharge rate may
increase flood risk or have other local environmental consequences.
We will need to apply for a bespoke permit if:
• the water discharge is from pumping out contaminated groundwater or water from contaminated land so it can be treated
• we cannot comply with the conditions in this RPS
Dewatering or pumping out water that has gathered in an excavation does not require an abstraction licence if the water is to be disposed of solely to prevent
interference with building operations. If however, the water is to be used for dust suppression or other activity on site, over 20m³ will require an abstraction
licence.

Water conservation Rainwater harvesting is to be considered upon site establishment to use for dust suppression for example.
during site works Obvious leaks and hoses running unnecessarily are to be monitored during management inspection tours. The use of triggers on hoses will prevent hoses running
whilst unattended.
Where vehicle wheel-wash equipment is used, recirculation systems should be integral.

Statutory nuisance Sensitive receptors such as people, wildlife and the environment will be identified and appropriate controls implemented.
Transport activities on and off site, will be planned to minimise dust, noise, fumes and disruption to local roads.
Haul routes will be damped down in dry periods and public highways will be cleaned as necessary.
Crushing or cutting equipment will be sited away from sensitive areas and be dampened down as appropriate.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 61 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Stored dusty materials will be covered.
Works to be carried out only within agreed hours
Alternative methods of construction will be considered to reduce dust, vibration and noise.
Where noise levels could be an issue due to the construction process, a Section 61 consent will be applied for from the Local Authority.
Noisy equipment will be located away from sensitive receptors. Screening may also be used where necessary.
Plant and equipment will be regularly maintained and kept in good working order.
A monitoring and inspection regime will be in place to quickly identify and rectify problems.
Any complaints will be promptly dealt with by site management in accordance with their nature.
Mud will be prevented from being deposited on roads as much as possible.
Delete the following as applicable.
As it is foreseeable that mud could be transferred onto public roads, we will employ a suitable, environmentally friendly wheel wash system.
As it is not reasonably practicable to provide a wheel wash system on this project, road sweepers will be used. The frequency of sweeps will be determined by the
site conditions which will be regularly monitored.
Roads will be cleaned promptly following mud transfer and at the end of the working day.
‘Caution Mud on Road’ signs to give maximum visibility and warning to road users will be suitably positioned.

Ecology Wildlife features and ecologically important areas will be identified and suitably protected prior to works commencing.
Statutory bodies and local groups will be liaised with to explain mitigation measures to be used as required.
Where a need to take, disturb or relocate protected species becomes necessary, consents will be obtained from the relevant regulatory body and competent
licensed ecologists used to carry out the work.
Site clearance works will be planned around nesting, hibernation or breeding seasons.
Protected areas and consequences of any damage within these areas will be fully communicated to site personnel.
The condition of any protection erected at designated areas will be regularly checked during construction.
Watercourses will be checked to ensure they are free of any contaminated run-off or other form of pollution.
In the event of unexpected ecological finds, work will stop and a competent ecologist will be consulted along with statutory bodies as appropriate.

Regulatory bodies for nature conservation

England - Natural England
Scotland - Scottish Natural Heritage
Wales - Natural Resources Wales
Contaminated land Effective contact with all relevant regulatory bodies will be established to obtain approvals prior to any works commencing.
Competent contractors will be employed to treat the identified contaminated land in accordance with the approved remediation strategy.
Contaminated areas will be clearly signed and adequately fenced off to avoid unauthorised access and inadvertent spread of contamination across the site.
Where following treatment, materials are still classed as waste, their use will require an environmental permit or registered exemption. CL:AIRE can be used to
ensure that contaminated materials are treated and managed so they receive an end of waste status.

Project Management Plan (00.1a) Issue: 40 Page 62 of 81

HSE 047 Approved Date: October 2020

 Stockpiling of contaminated materials will be avoided where possible. When unavoidable, materials will be placed on impervious ground to prevent contaminates
seeping into the ground and will also be covered to avoid wind-blown contamination or run-off to drainage systems and watercourses.
Removal of waste off site for treatment elsewhere or disposal will comply with the duty of care, including provision of waste transfer or consignment
documentation as appropriate.
Vehicles carrying contaminated materials off site are to be appropriately sheeted and are to pass through a wheel-wash facility to avoid contamination of the
public highway.
Personnel involved in the treatment of contaminated land will be made aware of the risks associated with the contaminates and will wear relevant PPE. Depending
on the level of risk, a decontamination unit may be required to prevent the spread of contaminants to clean areas of the site.

Archaeology Professional archaeologists will be employed to supervise and undertake the works in accordance with the planning conditions.
In the case of accidental discovery of archaeological finds or human remains, the following actions are to be implemented;
• Stop work in the area of discovery;
• Leave the find in situ and undisturbed;
• Control access to the area to authorised persons only;
• Stop vehicles entering the area;
• Obtain specialist advice as appropriate.

Report human remains, treasure and other archaeological finds to the appropriate statutory authority. Human remains discoveries must be reported to the
coroner. If there is a possibility the remains are recent, the local police must be contacted.
Report the find to the appropriate local planning authority or other curator.

Handover procedures
Properties are to be brought to completion by site management before being offered to the Client’s representative. For sales
plots, an inspection is to be carried out jointly by the site management sales representative and all outstanding items recorded.
All plots are to be inspected jointly by Lovell and the Client’s representative/purchaser and outstanding items recorded.

Following the inspection and completion of any works arising, the property is available for handover, and is evidenced by the
signing of a handover certificate, by the Client’s representative/purchaser.
Meter readings will be taken and a handover pack containing all the relevant details appropriate to the property will be handed
to the Client’s Representative.

Maintenance
While still on site, site management will ensure day-to-day defects are dealt with as they are reported. Following completion of
the site, the day-to-day maintenance will be carried out by Lovell Customer Care department, who should be contacted by the
Client. All relevant information will be passed to Customer Care department to enable this procedure to take place.
Defects will be the responsibility of the Customer Care Department. These are to be dealt with as laid down within LIMS, NHBC
Buildmark and requirements of contract documents. On completion of the project the Contracts Manager will ensure handover
is recorded on Coins with the Customer Care co-ordinator and update the inspection log to ensure defects liability periods are
recorded.
On completion of any items raised by the representative/tenant, confirmation, by signature, that these works have been carried
out will be required.

Roads and sewers

Site management will ensure that roads and sewers for adoption and upgrading are completed in accordance with details and
specification and placed on maintenance by the local adopting authority. The Contracts Manager will be responsible for
ensuring that adoption takes place at the end of the maintenance period, where applicable.
