Information & Control Statement

• The purpose of this document is to ensure that all site activities are planned & carried out in a manner, which reflects the position of Allma Construction as a Safety driven organisation. All subcontractor and Allma Method Statements, Safe Systems of Work & Risk/ Manual Handling/ Noise/ HAV/ COSHH assessments (hereafter identified as RAMS) must have received an A or B rating prior to any work commencing. First consider whether the contractor has detailed what site & job specific hazards exist from their works and if they could cause harm. Then consider whether the RAMS adequately eliminate or control the risks. RAMS must be specific to each site and task. Generic RAMS are unacceptable. Once RAMS have been accepted it is important that Site Management monitors the contractor’s operations to ensure compliance with the RAMS. Where the person reviewing the RAMS differs from the person reviewing the work in progress, both must be familiar with, and fully understand the content and controls contained within the RAMS.

• By accepting these Allma Construction Ltd. do not assume responsibility for any errors or omissions by the author. The Contractor is not relieved of their statutory obligation to provide, monitor, review and revise their safe system of work throughout the progress of the task(s). Any revisions to the document must be presented to Allma Construction Ltd. and agreed prior to authorisation to commence is given.
