Control Measures

>

Al l operatives

to

have

a

site

induction at

first

arrival

to

s it e and must s ign

in a nd out

every

day. Al l

site

operatives will

also

be

required to

undertake an Asbestos Awareness

Training

course

prior to working

on site, provided

by

at UKATA

approved training

provider.

Whilst the

works are not intended to

‘disturb’

asbestos,

the

widespread

presence

of asbestos

including asbestos

insulation) in

the

vicinity

of

the

work

zone

renders this a

prudent course

of

action.

Site

Rules

must

be

adhered

to.

The

works

will

be

under the

daily control of a

supervisor

who has successfully

completed

the Demolition

Supervisor course

devised

and

administered

jointly

by

the

National

Federation

of

Demolition

Contractors and

CITB.

The

supervisor will

be

the

holder

of a

recognised First

Aid training

certificate.

A suitably

qualified asbestos

analyst/project

manager from

a UKAS

accredited consultancy)

will

also be

present throughout

the

works

to carry

out a ir

testing

and to

advise

on

any

observed

presence

or disturbance

of

suspected asbestos

materials.

>

The

site supervisor will

monitor noise, dust

and

vibration and wil l implement additional

control

measures

if deemed

necessary.

The

PPE

required

for

noise

will

also

be dependent

on

the

task involved.

The asbestos

analyst will

also

carry

ou t an on -going

programme of

air

monitoring

for

asbestos fibres. This

will

include

reassurance

background)

monitoring

and

personal

monitoring.

Should any

approach be made to

Safedem

Operatives

voicing complaint during

the

course

of

these works, please

ensure that you

immediately report

this to

Site

Management

in

order that

it can

be

investigated

further and

verified.

All site

operatives will hold

a valid

and

up to date CSCS card.

Daily

weather

reports

are

to

be

taken

to check for

periods of

heavy

rain

which

ma y cause

the

adjacent

watercourse

to flood causing

flood

which poses

a risk to

operatives I works

on

the

phase

2 site.

Weather

will

also

be

monitored to

ensure

adverse

conditions

in

respect

of

asbestos

fibre risk

are

not

encountered

without

the

provision

of

adequate risk

control

measures. Such

adverse

conditions

would typically be dry,

sunny

and windy.

Only

suitably licensed

and

experienced

persons

will

be

used for

any asbestos

work and

ALL

asbestos will

be

removed to

a suitably licensed

landfill. All

asbestos works,

whether

deemed

to

be

categorised

as ‘Minor’

or ‘Major’

will be subject

to

separate risk

assessments

and method

statements

RAMS .

A temporary herras fence l ine

should

be constructed

along the

route of the

river to ensure

no

operatives can

access the

watercourse

deliberately

or

accidentally from

the phase

2

site.

A

decontamination unit

will

be on site

for

the duration

of the

works

along

with all

relevant

coveralls and

face

masks

given

the

nature of the work.

All

personnel

will

have

been trained in

the

correct use of PPE including

face

-fit tests for

RPE and in the

decontamination procedures.

A

full

site

induction wil l be g iven

to

all site personnel explaining

the nature

of the works

and the use of

the

decontamination works.

During

periods of asbestos

work no

un licensed

operatives will

be working in

that area.

All

machines

will

be

checked

daily for evidence

of damage

which may

lead to any

spillages

which may

cause

harm to the

river;

if

anything is noted

this

will

be

recorded and

rectified

before works

progress.

Vehicle cabs

will

also

be

periodically

air

tested

for

the

presence

of asbestos fibres.

Sepa’s

emergency

pollution

line phone

number will

be

given

to all

personnel

on

site

so

that

in

the unlikely

event

of pollution

occurring thi s can be

reported

immediately;

if this

situation

occurs works

will cease immediately.

Daily

air

monitoring will

be

carried

out

during

this phase

of

the

works

to ensure that

no

air

borne asbestos

fibres

are being

generated above

0.0 If/cc i.e. the

‘clearance

indicator’ ;

if evidence

shows

that airborne fibres

are being

generated above

these levels,

works

will cease

immediately and the

area

will

be

fully

sealed

to allow

a

re

-evaluation by

the

specialist

contractor and

asbestos

analyst.
