  • WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW
    -------------------------------------
    In order that a construction site can be set up correctly to meet the requirements of the size and complexity of the project, there are many factors to be taken into consideration. The checklists below identify some of the significant hazards and risks to be considered.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
    -------------------------------------

    Use the information detailed in the construction phase plan to tailor the site set up to meet the needs of the construction project (for example, existing building(s), contamination and demolition).

Significant hazards and risks

Safety

  • Can a safe working area be provided, with pedestrians and vehicles segregated?

  • how has traffic managment been assessed and controlled

Environment

  • Is there a procedure to update documentation during the works, which should be detailed as part of a competency check?
