A comprehensive Health and Safety construction plan in
plain English
About this document
Health and safety plan in the construction industry should be a top priority. To discharge your duty, you must have taken certain measures to prevent accidents. By using these health and safety construction documents, you are showing that you understand the requirement for strict measures and policies. They will help to prevent claims being made against you.
They should be used in connection with:
• All demolition work
• All building and maintenance work which is notifiable to the local HSE. That is: which lasts more than 30 days or which involves 5 or more workers.
You do not need to use them for work on domestic premises or minor work in occupied offices, shops or similar premises. Of course by doing so, you are only increasing your chances of preventing a claim against you and minimising preventable accidents.
The construction safety plan documents are intended to make all employees, from managers down, and your clients and professional team, aware of potential risks and how to minimise them.
The health and safety plan and file help you to manage H&S from start to finish. They provide a combination of instructions, template and memory jogger. They also provide a record for the future, so that anyone coming onto the site later or returning for maintenance work knows what H&S issue were considered and how they were dealt with.
