Fire Arrangements

Section 2: Emergency & Welfare Arrangements

REMEMBER ALWAYS FOLLOW EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

• Only fight a fire with a extinguisher if it is safe to do so.

• Make sure the safety pin remains in position to prevent accidental discharge.

• If you accidentally discharge the extinguisher, get it exchanged. If propellant cartridge is pierced extinguisher will lose pressure even if full..

All extinguishers should be tested annually and have a label showing date.


Emergency Arrangements


ALWAYS SIGN IN & OUT

Why?

If the is an evacuation of the building the fire wardens will take the registers to the muster point. They will check that everyone is out of the building. If you have not signed in – the fire warden will not know you are in the building. The fire brigade will not enter a building unless there are people in there – so they will not be coming to get you.

Plus do not leave until told – as we don’t want to send the fire brigade in to burring building for someone who is actually in the local café!


Alarms


REMEMBER ALWAYS FOLLOW EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

• On site there should be an agreed muster should an emergency occur. On hearing the alarm you should stop your activity IMMEDIATELY and walk calmly to it.

• Do NOT return to work until you have been told by your supervisor it is safe to do so.

Co-operate with “drills” as these may one day save your life.


First aid arrangements

Section 2: Emergency & Welfare arrangements

Accidents, Incidents, Dangerous OccurrencesMust be reported to your supervisorInjuries must be recorded in the accident book

All offices contain a first aid kit appropriate to the size of team. This will be held by the first aider.


Section 2: Emergency & Welfare arrangements

Welfare Facilities• Keep common welfare facilities clean and in good order• Wash your hands before and after using toilets, consuming food / drink or smoking


Drugs and Alcohol Policy

Section 4: Systems & Policies

Customer CareIMPACT

Inform the public about the work

Minimise disruption and inconvenience

Politely respond to questions and concerns

Accountability for your actions

Courtesy costs nothing but reaps rewards

Time - complete work to schedule and effective handling of queries.


Discipline Policy

Safe Behaviour Discussion – Should an unsafe act be observed then you can expect the site supervisor to discuss this with you. This will be documented. This may be for not wearing appropriate PPE.

Written warning – If the unsafe act could have lead to a serious injury or is a repeated action (e.g. driving plant around site at excessive speed) then a formal written warning will be issued.

Removal from site – This will be the last resort but will be used where all other methods have failed. This has been used where underground services have been hit repeatedly; where with some care and attention they could have been avoided.
