rubbish, earth rubble or any waste material. Initially for strip-out one or two skips may be delivered to site for the soft strip materials. A 360 excavator will be delivered to site to commence structural demolition and all non-hazardous waste materials will be loaded directly into skips for removal from site.
2.3. These controlled work activities will be conducted to ensure that the general day-to-day
operations of adjacent premises / occupiers and pedestrian / vehicular access are not impeded.
2.4. The site will be under the control of a full-time trained and competent Site Manager (SSSTS,
Fire Marshall, Emergency First Aid, etc) 2.5. An assessment of site risks and substances used will be carried out at the outset of work.

the disconnections must be made available to E&C prior to commencing any work. Any suspect service supplies will be investigated and/or tested to determine their status. We require confirmation from the Client that the buildings have no live services to them.

5. WORK METHOD
5.1. Generally 5.1.1. The contract will be managed by a non-working foreman with supervisory health and
safety training, and with a formal "appointed person" qualified first aider on site.
The foreman will be the resident site manager, responsible for the day to day liaison
with the client’s representative.
5.1.2. No statutory notifications will be required by E&C but may be requested by the
Client.
5.1.3. Works are not F10 notifiable and do not exceed the threshold in which CDM Regs
2015 come into play, although they will still form the basis of the Health and Safety
management of the project.
5.1.4. Temporary Heras type fencing will be erected where necessary to allow works to
commence. This fencing will be removed after
5.1.5. Signs will be erected to include warning signs and mandatory signs for personal
protective equipment. At all times a banks man will be present to ensure that no
external approach is made to the perimeters and adjoining walkways during the
demolition and removal process.
5.1.6. Access will be via the car park entrance on Thelwall Lane and care will be taken not
to disturb the local residents and premises. Road surface conditions will be
monitored and if they become dirty a road sweeper will be hired in to clean them,
this will be at the discretion of E&C site management.
5.1.7. Works will commence with an induction course given by the site manager for all
personnel and operatives involved in the execution of the contract works, where
input from the client and site staff would be invited for the purposes of further
development of the health and safety plan. All operatives must be aware of the
specified procedures, and any queries or reservations associated with the works
must be raised at the meeting for consideration and if appropriate, for amendment
within the health and safety plan. The meeting will review the Method Statement,
Risk Assessment and will be an introduction to the scope and extent of the works. All
those attending must confirm their understanding of the proposals, health and
safety issues, and their responsibilities to themselves, their colleagues, members of
the public using the surrounding areas, the Client and E&C (UK) Ltd. All new starters
will undertake the same induction before they begin any works.
5.1.8. Works are expected to last less than 1 week so other than site induction and safety
briefing there is not likely to be requirement for additional weekly toolbox talks.
5.1.9. Access to the premises will be made initially to inspect and to clear out any
discarded apparatus for drug abuse such as syringes etc. and also to inspect
preparation for demolition.
5.1.10. It is likely that the demolition will proceed without a soft strip and all mixed material
will be sent to one of our Waste Transfer Stations in Warrington for sorting and
recycling to accelerate the rate of progress on-site.

5.1.11. Although no ACMs have been identified our operatives will remain vigilant during
the demolition works for previously unidentified materials with potential to contain
asbestos fibres. All our demolition operatives are in possession of valid asbestos
training with most having at least non-licensable asbestos removal training.
5.1.12. All demolition works will be carried out mechanically by a 360 excavator starting
with any higher level, exposed and unsupported gables, to increase the stability of
the structure.
5.1.13. The demolition of the building will be carried out by 360 excavator operated by a
trained and competent operative with support from demolition labourers acting as
banksmen.
5.1.14. Demolition materials will be segregated and sorted as much as possible before
loading into skips.
5.1.15. All demolition works are to the extent of the footprint of the buildings only. The slab
will be retained and also any retaining walls and boundary structures around the
site.
5.1.16. No overhanging structures are to be left unattended at any time. Ensure that the
structure is left safe, and that there are no overhanging or unsupported elements
left in place at the end of each working day.
5.1.17. Demolition materials reclaimed wherever possible.
5.1.18. The site will be tidied and cleared on completion and will be checked by the client or
a representative before removing plant, cabins and fencing and handing over the
site.
5.1.19. Dust and noise must be kept to a minimum and controlled via a suitable form of
suppression.
5.1.20. The site will be left in as safe a condition as possible at the end of each shift.
5.1.21. No burning will be allowed on site.
5.1.22. Care must be taken not to damage any of the existing site boundary structures such
as palisade fencing etc.
5.1.23. This is a working document and can be amended if the need arises.
5.1.24. This statement will continue to be developed as part of the health and safety plan,
as the need arises, and in consultation with the Client.

5.2. Waste Management
5.2.1. All waste and demolition material will be segregated on-site as much as possible and
any non-hazardous mixed skips will be sorted at our waste transfer station for any
further materials recycling. All unrecyclable waste will be tipped at landfill at the
nearest opportunity.
5.2.2. Asbestos materials will be double-bagged and loaded into either a dedicated
lockable asbestos skip, or a vehicle suitable for storing/transporting small quantities
of bagged asbestos waste.
5.2.3. All timber will be stored at our yard ready to be collected by a wood recycling
company.
5.2.4. All metals will be salvaged and transported to the nearest scrap yard for recycling.
5.2.5. Gypsum based products, i.e. plasterboard, will be segregated from all other
materials, should any be discovered, and kept in a separate skip to be tipped as
hazardous waste.
5.2.6. There appears to be no electrical appliances or devices that would require disposal
under conditions of the W.E.E.E. regulations. However, if any such items are
discovered on-site they will be stored separately and would be taken to the nearest
licensed recycling tip.
5.2.7. All materials will be transported and disposed of at our own licensed waste transfer
station at West Quay Road, Winwick, Warrington, WA2 8TL unless otherwise
specified. All relevant waste notes and consignment notes will be available upon
