Additional information/auditors comments:
-
It should be noted that the COVID19 section of this inspection is designed to check items which may be outside of the direct control of the contractor and entirely in the hands of the Principal Contractor on site. The overall score provided on this audit is therefore a reflection of the compliance to both general site health and safety standards and COVID19Secure compliance by all parties. Managers must always review the details of the report and look at the action plan to decide on strategies and plans for improvement before allocating responsibilities. It remains the responsibility of the employer to ensure workers are not put to work where there are insufficient measures to protect workers from the spread of infectious disease, if COVID19 secure compliance is compromised the employer will be advised to remove workers from the site immediately.
