Noise

Under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, Part 3, Environmental Protection Act of 1990 and the Control ofNoise at Work Regulations 2005, noise is a recognised form of pollution and as such can be classified asa nuisance. The Control of Noise (Codes of Practice for Construction and Open Site) Order 1984 giveslegal approval for BS 5228, parts 1 & 2, 1997. This provides information on noise and noise control onconstruction and demolition sites.

Every attempt shall be made to control/minimise noise at source.

A Buckler (Haulage) Ltdoperatives working on demolition sites (particularly those near dwellings) willtake all reasonably practicable steps to minimise the noise generated on the site and thereby avoid aLocal Authority Notice (under Section 60 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974)being served.

On site where construction or demolition works is in progress contractors have a responsibility to seethat activities are carried out in the quietest practicable manner. Where noisy activities are unavoidablethe disturbance will be minimised/attenuated by choice of technique, timing, shielding or protection asappropriate.

On all moving plant, noise levels will be minimised by being vigilant on points such as:-

Stopping rattles (e.g.: by tightening covers etc.).

Throttling down engine when idling.

Fitting engine covers and keeping them closed.

Keeping tools sharp to lessen frictional noise.

Not dropping items, e.g.: into skips, unnecessarily.

If noise levels are still unacceptable high and no reasonably practicable alternative is available, ABuckler (Haulage) Ltdoperatives and contractors will use methods such as:-

Screening, e.g.: by earth banks. Silencing, e.g.: by fitting silencers, mufflers, shield enclosures or barriers.

Distancing the activity from occupied premises.

Where any person is liable to be exposed to noise levels greater than 80-85 dB (A), they will be informedand provided with suitable ear protection. The most likely protection, in ascending order of attenuation isear plugs, ear muffs and noise attenuation helmets.

Noise will be kept to a minimum at all times and any further restrictions imposed under the terms of thecontract will be strictly adhered to.

(See Noise Exposure Levels Daily & Weekly included in the appendix)

Vibration

When the work involves use of vibratory equipment A Buckler (Haulage) Ltd will monitor their workforceto ensure the maximum exposure levels are not exceeded by any of their employees.

Records of the expected levels of equipment will be kept along with times and durations of individualemployees exposures. (See section 12 vibration log sheet and appendix hand and arm vibrationcalculator)

Equipment and tools will be selected, maintained and used in work scheduled and rotated to ensureeach employees exposure levels are kept within the legal requirements.


24/175

NSL Ref 4237/4248


Exposure to UV Radiation (from the sun)

A Buckler (Haulage) Ltd is aware of the dangers from the UV rays from the sun such as:-

Skin damage

Sunburn

Blistering Skin Cancer

A Buckler (Haulage) Ltd take the damage from the sun rays seriously andwill endeavour to provideinformation to site operatives which include sun protection advice through toolbox talks, communicationposters, encourage workers to cover up during the summer months, encourage workers to usesunscreen on parts of the body they cant cover up

Lead

Where the presence of lead has been identified, either in paint or other materials, the Control of Lead atWork Regulations 2002 and the associated Approved Code of Practice will apply. The principle risk is

likely to arise from the burning and cutting of steelwork coated with lead based paints. Other areas ofrisk are the demolition of buildings or plant which have been used for processing lead or leadcompounds and the removal and dismantling of vessels which have been used for the storage of leadalkyls and leaded petrol.

An assessment will be made to determine the nature and degree of exposure of the workforce to leadand the appropriate precautions required. The standards to be achieved are set out in the approvedcodes of practice.

The precautions taken may include;-

Prohibition of eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas. Provision of information and adequate washing facilities.

Provision of protective clothing.

Provision of local ventilation and respiratory protective equipment.

Medical surveillance where necessary.

Dust

Demolition work, particularly the demolition of old buildings will generate dust especially during periodsof dry weather. This dust generation can be controlled by wetting of the surfaces being demolished. ABuckler (Haulage) Ltdoperatives will use hoses to spray water onto brickwork and debris, during thedemolition/loading operations when conditions demand.

Siliceous dust occurs as a building material in natural stone, bricks or aggregates for concrete.Demolition processes involving breaking, crushing or grinding siliceous material will create dustscontaining Crystalline Silica. As with other dust and fume hazards for which there are no separate setsof regulations and where it is not possible to comply with the exposure limits, suitable respiratoryprotective equipment will be provided for and worn by employees at risk.

All personnel working in dusty areas shall, when necessary, wear a dust mask deemed suitable by theHealth and Safety Executive (HSE). All operatives concerned will be instructed in the correct use of allRPE/PPE

Dry areas of the works will be dampened down to prevent the spread of airborne dust.


25/175

NSL Ref 4237/4248


Gases, Vapours and Fumes

A Buckler (Haulage) Ltdshall monitor the works area at regular intervals for flammable gases/vapours.If at any time the acceptable gas levels are exceeded then work in the area shall be suspended untilinstructed otherwise.

Unusual fumes, vapours or odours will be treated with caution, together with any excavated materials of

unusual colour, and will be reported immediately to the Site Manager.

Gases, vapours and fumes may be released from, for example:

Residues and wastes left behind in premises previously used for chemical processes or storage. Demolition work involving excavations or access to sewage/ waste pipelines. The demolition of tanks, silos, bunds and pipe work. Hot cutting or welding processes. From fuels and byproducts introduced for the demolition process Natural processes such as organic decomposition.

Dangerous atmospheres can also arise in pits, tunnels and confined spaces where oxygen has been

removed from the air by chemical or biological action.

Operations involving entry into storage vessels which have contained chemicals i.e. lead alkyls, or theremoval and handling of sludge and scale from tanks will be assessed even though the work may betransient. For work of this nature, the Confined Space Regulation 1997 and the duties imposed, for theavoidance of entry, safe systems of working and emergency arrangements will be addressed.

When working inside tanks, air fed suits or air supplied respirators will be used alongside suitableprotective clothing. Particular care will be taken to avoid skin contact with contaminated clothing whetherduring removal, transit or decontamination.

Drums or containers found in the area will be left in situ and the Site Manager informed immediately.Work will be suspended in the vicinity of the containers until they have been inspected and removed.

Personnel will be made aware when they are working in a potentially hazardous environment andinstructed to report any unusual symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, rashes, inflammation of the eyes,nose, mouth etc. to the Site Manager.

Personnel will be instructed if they get chemicals or tar like substances on their skin to wash it off with aproprietary cleaner or soap and water, change clothes and follow the recommendations of the MaterialSafety Data Sheets (MSDS) and CoSHH assessment.

If any person working within a contaminated area has the slightest cut or scratch it shall be thoroughlycleaned and covered with a clean dressing from the first aid box.

Site Waste Management Plans

Introduction

A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is a report of the plans to reduce and manage the waste from aconstruction or demolition project. It provides a framework for waste minimisation as well as the actual

management of waste types and quantities arising from a project.

The SWMP Regulations 2008 apply to all construction, demolition and maintenance or refurbishmentprojects costing more than 300,000 (excluding VAT).

A Basic SWMPmust be produced for projects costing above 300,000 up to 500,000 and a DetailedSWMPis required for projects in excess of 500,000.

(This includes the cost of the WHOLE project and not just the individual phases e.g. the cost ofdemolishing and clearing an area for redevelopment may be 100,000; so long as the subsequentredevelopment exceeds 200,000, the project requires a SWMP)

Although the Project Client has overall responsibility for ensuring a SWMP is produced, they candelegate the development and management of the SWMP to the Principle Contractor or other third party.

Project subject to the above criteriaYes

No

Responsibilities of the Principle Contractor

If the responsibility for the SWMP is delegated to a Principle Contractor, they have a legal duty to ensurethat:-

All site waste is managed according to the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations1991

Sufficient site security to prevent illegal waste disposal

The SWMP is updated whenever waste is removed from site

Details are recorded on all SWMPs of the types of waste produced on site and how they aremanaged, as well as the quantities for Detailed SWMPs

Waste is reused, recycled or recovered so far as is reasonably practicable

Every site worker is inducted about the SWMP together with any further information and trainingto ensure waste is managed according to the plan this can be via Tool Box Talks, structuredtraining courses etc. There must also be arrangements to monitor personnel and ensurecompliance with the SWMP

Maintain arrangements for effective cooperation among workers in relation to the SWMP and the

effectiveness of such arrangements An up to date copy of the SWMP is kept on site and all contractors have access to it

The SWMP is regularly reviewed to check it is accurate

There is a facility to store a copy of the SWMP for 2 years after project completion

Non-Hazardous Waste

These are wastes that will break down or decompose when buried in landfill. This results in theproduction of landfill gases such as methane and carbon dioxide

Examples include:

Timber, paper and cardboard, green wastes, food, metal and biodegradable plastics

Hazardous Waste

These are wastes that are harmful to human health or the environment. They may be liable to causedeath, injury or impairment to living beings, pollution of waters or unacceptable environmental impact ifimproperly contained, handled, treated or disposed of.

Examples include:*Will be removed for all average jobs less than 30K, but left in if building work to follow onimmediately after demolition

Asbestos containing waste

Contaminated soils

Paints, solvents and adhesives

Oily wastes

Refrigerants and foams

Wastes contaminated with various paints, solvents and oils

Treated timber

Waste electrical and electronic equipment with hazardous components

Fluorescent tubes

Batteries

Concrete wash out water

(A Site Waste Management Plan template is included in the appendix)

Arisings

Clean Materials of Commercial Value

A Buckler (Haulage) Ltd aim to maintain a maximum demolition recovery index of approx 95% (weight)where possible by managing and sorting uncontaminated, clean materials into types for re-use/reprocessing (recovered aggregates on site), metals for re-use smelting, timber for re-use orchipping. These categories of materials will be transported to the nearest available recyclingestablishment.

Clean Materials of No Commercial Value

Uncontaminated clean materials, i.e. non-asbestos insulation will be placed in suitable containers which,when full, will be transported to and disposed of at a nominated licensed waste disposal site.

Hazardous Waste

Each demolition site where the hazardous waste is produced in excess of 200Kg in total will beregistered, prior to commencement of the demolition work. Due to the nature of the demolition industry itmay be necessary to register the Contractors mainoffice as the service premises under the mobileservice criteria especially where quantities produced from the site/premises are minimal/less than 200kg.

Records of transfer notes will be kept for a minimum of three years, and the resulting waste will betransported to and disposed of at a nominated, licensed waste disposal site.

Debris

Handling Debris:

The handling of debris will be kept to a minimum. Operatives will not handle debris that can be movedwith a machine. When debris must be handled, the operatives will be issued with the appropriate typesafety gloves and will be reminded of the hazards associated with handling broken glass, nails etc.Broken glass will be swept up immediately and placed in a suitable container.

Wood containing nails will be immediately loaded into wagons and removed from site; or stacked awayfrom personnel with protruding nails pointing down.

Windblown Debris

Debris will be cleared up as soon as possible. At no time will a vast amount be stockpiled awaitingremoval it will always be kept in a damp state and any material that could easily blow away will bebagged up or loaded onto wagons for removal from site before it causes problems

Wagons and skips will be sheeted when containing materials that could be windblown.

Falling Debris

Operatives will not be allowed to work underneath or close to overhead work. At all times, the areadirectly below any overhead work will be cordoned off with the necessary signage to warn and prevententry.

Upon completion of remote demolition, any remaining floor slabs and foundations will be lifted and removedfrom site.


1.1 The area will be visually surveyed to identifyany likely underground services or voids in theconcrete slab

If the presence of underground services aredetected, they must be clearly marked andprotected

Cat scans may be required to determine thewhereabouts of any live services

Extreme care must be taken where there remainsa possibility of any unknown services

Step Lifting of Slabs and Foundations Key Points

2.1 The machine will be positioned where allslew movements will remain within theexclusion zone

Demolition machines will only be operated byqualified personnel

The machine must be maintained in accordance

with manufacturers recommendations and checkeddaily records of inspections must be retained

Machines will be fitted with falling object and rollover protection

2.2 The machine will commence work at asuitable point on the floor slabs and lift theconcrete, breaking it into manageablesections

The operator will be made aware of any unstableground or where there is a sudden change in levels

Separation of adjoining structures, positioning oftemporary supports, capping of sewers etc will becompleted prior to removal work

2.3 Work will continue in a progressive manner

working in a single direction over theexpanse of the floor slabs on site

The machine will stockpile the concrete ready for

loading into wagons for removal from site.

2.4 After the floor slabs have been removed, thefoundations will be lifted, the bucket havingto delve deeper into the ground to lift them,therefore more chance of coming intocontact with any unknown undergroundservices.

The standby mans duties to include checking forany signs of any underground services during thelifting of the foundations, and to warn the machineoperator if anything unusual is seen.
