The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 describes the general duties that employers have towards their employees and to members of the public:-
- The provision of safe plant and systems of work
- The safe use, handling, storage and transport of articles and substances
- The provision of any required information, instruction, training and supervision
- A safe place of work including access and egress
- A safe working environment with adequate welfare facilities
The Construction Design Management (CDM) Regulations 2007 state that the employers must:
- Ensure a safe place of work
- Make people on site familiar with emergency procedures and test the procedures
- Provide sanitary and washing facilities with adequate supply of drinking water
- Provide accommodation for clothing and changing facilities
- Provide rest facilities
Use the Site Set Up Checklist included with Health and Safety Xpert software to check and record that you have adequately met these requirements before works commence. It is important to file these records so that they could be consulted by an inspector if necessary.
