4- The permit to work and associated systems in place at LSS is there to assist control of activities that are medium to high risk. There is a requirement for the job to be known, assessed,communicated and planned to ensure the owner and persons undertaking the work along with anyone that can be affected by the activities are fully understood and managed. This may include other operations, engineering or process activities that may affect or increase the risk for the envisaged works. It is imperative that sections engineers and similar competent personnel from the resident site are aware of the works and have assessed the management of works including isolations of processes, plant and equipment (including block and bleed) in such as way as to protect all parties. Lock out -tag out will be a key principal of conreol on site for any individuals. The 1 Man 1 Lock system SHALL be adopted by site and external contractors where any isolation is required. Compliance with HSG250 is also a pre-requisite for these procedures in order to ensure that all permit related system and associated procedures offer the thought process and controls to ensure safety tp personnel, environment and assetts as deemed necessary.

• Were permits observations completed as part of this audit?

• Permits and other controlling systems are in place to safeguard many aspects of work from isolation through to hazard identification, risk level and controls methods. Ensuring these are in place, managed and communicated will reduce the potential to personnel, visitors and the environment

5- Working at Heights

• Were - Working at Height Activity observations completed as part of this audit?

• Working at heights is one of the commonest failure to control in the workplace. Falls at work account for a 3rd annually of all fatal and serious injuries. At LSS the pre-planning of activities by use of Working at Heights risk assessment is essential in ensuring suitable controls are in place, communicated and understood.

6- Ladders

• Was a ladder observation completed as part of this audit?

• Ladder safety is important for all aspects of use from portable step ladders to standard ladders. They pose many risks, however, if they are suitable for use, free from defects and inspected by trained personnel in their use then they are a very useful tool. WIth all WAH activities look at an alternative such as zip up and razor scaffolds etc. When using ensure footed, lashed, secured and free from damage and dirt/oil on rungs. When not in use secure in a manner to prevent unauthorised use by others.

• What ladder controls are in place? To be checked if "safe or Not Applicable". If NOT checked then it will be assumed -UNSAFE

  Select Ladders extend sufficiently beyond working platform Ladders have I.D and are registered Use for access only, with 3 points of contact and max 30 mins duration Ladders are secured and restrained (lashed) Ladders are locked away when not in use

7- Personal Protective Equipment. Is the last form of defence for individual involved in work related activities/projects. It is the lowest form of protection in the hierarchy of control and should be (where practicable) designed out with removal or engineering design. However, PPE, when required, is a good final barrier for individuals when used as per manufacturers guidance and in conjunction with any safe systems of work.

• Was a PPE observation completed as part of this audit?

• PPE (personal protective equipment) is normally the last form of defence from most workplace related hazards. They should be ft for the job and be specific for the planned activities. If not worn by the end user then this may be the last barrier prior to contact with individuals. Worn, defective PPE is to be removed and replaced as necessary. Specialised PPE may require other tests, calibration or replacement of essential parts as required in conjunction with manufacturers guidelines.

• What PPE is being worn correctly? To be checked if "safe or Not Applicable". If NOT checked then it will be assumed -UNSAFE

  Select Head Eyes/face (goggles, visors and glasses) Hearing Hands/arm (Gloves/overalls) Respiratory (RPE) including full, half and disosable masks, respirators, pressure powered and helmet respirators Face shield/visor (for grinding etc) Harnesses (fall restraint/arrest) Footwear High visibility clothing/garments

8- Mobile plant and transport

• Was mobile plant observed as part of this audit?

• Mobile plant on sites is a major hazard that can have an impact on individuals, groups and site systems and process. Having good controls and indicative measures such a banksman can be positive in protecting personnel fro movement of mobile plant on sites. Keep personnel segregated from mobile plant and keep safe distances. Example 4 metres around FLTs. Mobile plant can also overurn causing significant risk. A good well communicated management plan for mobile plant will reduce the risk these vehicles pose.

• What mobile plant controls are in place? To be checked if "safe or Not Applicable". If NOT checked then it will be assumed -UNSAFE

  Select Traffic management plan in place Mobile plant correctly segregated from pedestrians? Speed limits in place and observed? Load safe in place? An exclusion zone is an effective means of identifying safe and unsafe areas when loading or unloading is taking place. 4 metres around any mobile plant and FLTs where practicable. There are many good practices around different sites We must all find the best way to ensure everyone involved in loading is free from danger There are many ways to implement exclusion zones Exclusion zones in place? Crane permit in place if mobile plant (telescopic boom type) in building near EOT Cranes? ALL Delivery drivers in a safe haven? Heras and other fencing in place to control entry? Banksman in place? Excavations are protected? Delivery areas designated.

9- Behavioural Safety (Bradley Curve)

• Unsafe behaviour at work by personnel undertaking unsafe acts account for 96% of near misses and site-related incidents. Decisions that people take if under pressure can have an effect in some areas of increasing risk by normal systems and procedures not being applied fully (SWPs/RAMS). The more personnel work interdependently by protecting all then the more all risks are reduced. This is visible in the Bradley Curve Image (Below)

10- Tools and Equipment

• Was tools and equipment observation completed as part of this audit?

• Tools and equipment on sites should be suitable for the identified tasks. Whether it is portable hand to power tools are MEWPs. They are to be used in a safe manner and in compliance with any training given. Skills, Knowledge Experience with assisted training will form competence and this is part of all undertakings when using any tools and equipent on sites. Unsafe use either reactive or by untrained individuals will increase rapidly the risk posed to themselves and other on sites.

11- Hand injury awareness

• Were hand protection controls observed as part of this audit?

• Hand injuries account for approx 50% of injuries per part of the body. When undertaking tasks keep hands well clear of trapping, entanglement and shearing areas. When moving, attaching, attempting to sling loads where hands are used close to hazards then please remember to remove and keep clear prior to moving or starting a process. Wear correct hand protection, designed and fit for purpose.

12- Housekeeping; Plan how the site will be kept tidy and how housekeeping will be actively managed: ■ keep walkways and stairways free of tripping hazards such as trailing cables, building materials and waste. This is especially important for emergency routes. Make sure that all flammable waste materials (such as packaging and timber offcuts) are cleared away regularly to reduce fire risks; ■ keep inside floor areas clean and dry; ■ outdoor footpaths should be level and firm and should not be used for storing materials. Designate storage areas for plant, materials, waste, flammable substances (eg foam plastics, flammable liquids and gases such as propane) and hazardous substances (eg pesticides and timber treatment chemicals). Flammable materials will usually need to be stored away from other materials and protected from accidental ignition. Do not store materials where they obstruct access routes or where they could interfere with emergency escape, eg do not store flammable materials under staircases or near to doors or fire exits.

• Was housekeeping observed during audit?

• Any site with poor housekeeping will eventually have incidents. Managed sites with good control of equipment and general cleanliness will not only be safer but also more efficient as a process. Most housekeeping hazards can be easily removed or reduced by simple well communicated measures of control and management.

• What housekeeping controls are in place. To be checked if "safe or Not Applicable". If NOT checked then it will be assumed -UNSAFE

13- Lifting and slinging (including cranes -mobile and overhead).

• Were slinging activities observed as part of this audit?

• Lifting and slinging related activities at work need to be planned and undertaken in a controlled manner by trained and competent personnel. Lifts for mobile cranes require a lift plan submitted by an appointed person and controlled on site by a lift supervisor. Safe movement and lifting of loads needs to be understood with clear definitions of who is responsible at all stages. The equipment and plant used also requires compliance with inspections regimes either 6 or 12 monthly under LOLER and PUWER regulations.
  Ground conditions are also a requirements to ensure the load bearing is sufficient for the lift. Common failures include communication between riggers/slingers and crane drivers. Hands in areas where they are at risk from trapping potential. Lifting equipment not sufficient for loads that can be common or abnormal but can move or snag increasing the risk from the loss of load. Finally the personnel that attach lifting equipment need sufficient training in order that they can assess not only the load and lifting equipment but also action to take to adjust or change angles, slings and other parts of any planned lift.
