surrounding land use, or ground conditions and other buildings and structures)?
• Are there any existing drawings and what relevant information do they
show (available drawings of the building or structure)?
• What is the planned design and what information exists on the hazards that
cannot be avoided?
• What other site-wide factors are there (such as any special client needs, e.g.
access for school children, the positioning of the site access or exit points,
location of unloading, or layout and storage areas)?
• Will there be any overlap with the client’s own activities during the project
(particularly where construction work is to take place at the client’s
premises)?
• How will you satisfy yourself that the tenderers are competent to deal with
health and safety on the project?
• What site rules relating to the client do you need (such as emergency
procedures, permit-to-work rules and so on, laid down by the client when
work takes place at their premises)?
• How will you maintain continued liaison and co-ordination for health and
safety on site (procedures for dealing with design work prepared after the
work has started)?
Health And Safety Planning
The Project (Construction Stage) Site-Specific Plan
The construction stage site-specific health and safety plan sets out the arrangements
for securing the health and safety of everyone carrying out the work and all others
who may be affected by it.
It deals with:
• the arrangements for the management of health and safety of the workplace
(such as hazard identification, evacuation, site safety checks, and so on)
• the monitoring systems for checking that the health and safety plan is being
followed (such as evidence of regular health and safety site awareness talks)
• health and safety risks to those at work, and risks to others arising from the
work — or from other work in the premises where the work may be carried
out
