Reviewing health and safety legislation

In March 2011, the Government established an Independent Review of Health and Safety legislation to make proposals for simplifying the existing raft of health and safety legislation. This review was chaired by leading risk management specialist Professor Ragnar Löfstedt.

The Löfstedt Report and the Government response

We published Professor Löfstedt's report "Reclaiming health and safety for all: An independent review of health and safety regulation" on 28 November 2011.

Professor Löfstedt's report sets out a number of risk- and evidence-based recommendations that will:

reduce regulatory requirements on business where they do not lead to improved health and safety outcomes, and
remove pressures on business to go beyond what the regulations require, enabling them to reclaim ownership of the management of health and safety.

Spread the load poster

What is 'Spread the load'?

IPAF has launched a safety campaign calling for the proper assessment of ground conditions and the correct use of stabilisers, outriggers and spreader plates.

IPAF’s “Spread the load!” campaign is built around this simple and straightforward message:

Spreader plates should always be used with boom-type mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) when fully supported on their outriggers.
Spreader plates should be used with all other MEWPs that have outriggers unless a risk assessment indicates they are not necessary.

The campaign is an initiative from the IPAF UK Hire Committee’s Spreader Plates Sub-Group. Several campaign tools, available in different languages, have been developed to spread the message, including leaflets, posters, stickers and a video.

Why is this campaign needed?

MEWPs are generally very safe and stable. However, incorrect set-up can cause instability and lead to overturning. This is often the result of inadequate ground assessment, poor selection of spreader plates, or incorrect positioning of outriggers. The ‘Spread the load!’ campaign sets out to give clear and practical guidance on when and how to use spreader plates.

FEM Position paper on the use of cranes to lift people

Mobile cranes shall never be used for entertainment purposes, e.g. lifting of persons for shows, bungee jumping, dinner-in-the-sky or lifting of other structures with people on the structure or underneath (e.g. lifting of tents)!

Mobile cranes are not intended to lift persons; they may be used to hoist and suspend personnel in man baskets only in unique work situations when it is the least hazardous way to do the job. Platforms fixed to crane booms for lifting of persons are not included herewith, as they are covered by international standards for mobile elevated work platforms.

Avoiding falls from Vehicles

Where are the risks?
Many falls from vehicles occur during loading and unloading - you don’t have to fall far to land hard.

Fall-from-vehicle incidents can cost your company a lot of money. In 2004/05, the human and economic cost of the fall from- vehicle incidents we know about was over £36.5 million.

Falls from vehicles often result in serious injuries that keep skilled people, such as lorry drivers, off work for many weeks; agency workers might have to be employed to ‘fill in’, and deliveries may be delayed. More than 75% of major fall-from-vehicle incidents occur during loading and unloading activities. Fall prevention must be an integral part of planning loading and unloading and selecting the right kind of vehicle is an important part of this.

IPAF MEWPs Categories Poster

The IPAF training programme adopted new MEWPs categories from 1 January 2008. These category changes do not affect the training received and existing PAL Cards (Powered Access Licences) remain valid as specified. Existing PAL Card holders do not need to get their cards changed.

The new IPAF categories, with abbreviations and brief explanations, are:

Static Vertical (1a): Vertical personnel platforms (static)

Static Boom (1b): Self-propelled booms (outriggers), trailers/push-arounds, vehicle-mounted platforms

Mobile Vertical (3a): Scissor lifts, vertical personnel platforms (mobile)

Mobile Boom (3b): Self-propelled booms

Push Around Vertical (PAV): Push around verticals

Special (SPECIAL): Specialist machines

The following courses continue unchanged:
• Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWP)
• Insulated Aerial Devices (IAD)
• Telehandler Platforms – Integrated (TPI)
• Harness Use and Inspection (H)
• Loading and Unloading (LOAD)
• MEWPs for Managers (MM)

Current PAL Card holders who need to replace lost cards will be issued duplicate cards with the original categories they have been trained in. This is because the categories listed on the PAL Card reflect the training received. Those who re-train or do upgrades from 1 January 2008 onwards will be issued with the new categories.

Site managers can check the validity of PAL Cards by calling the IPAF office.

Safe Use of Quick Hitches on Excavators

Safe Use of Quick Hitches on Excavators.

Every year, the construction industry is responsible for causing deaths and serious
injury. The industry has done much to improve its performance which I welcome,
but there is still room for improvement. Our industry is innovative and is constantly
evolving new equipment and processes to increase efficiency. This has consequences
for site management who must ensure that operators are competent, capable of
operating equipment safely and are following safe working procedures.
A quick hitch (also known as a quick coupler) saves time and makes an excavator a far
more versatile piece of construction equipment. When used safely, quick hitches
reduce the risk of injuries through manual handling and crushing during the bucket
changing process, whilst also giving benefits in improved productivity.

The absolutely essential Health and Saftey Toolkit

The absolutely essential Health and Saftey Toolkit

This toolkit provides a ready checklist for health and safety problems on small construction sites. It will help you to manage or avoid them and to ensure your own health and safety as well as the health and safety of the people who work for you, your clients, and others such as the public. The toolkit also acts as a signpost to more detailed advice.
While substantial improvements have been made in construction health and safety since the 2001 Construction Summit, it is sadly the case that every week one person is killed on a construction site and many more are injured or suffer health problems. Twice as many workers are made ill by work than are injured. Each death is one too many and simple measures can prevent them.
Make use of this toolkit. If we all work together we can make the construction industry a healthier and safer place to work in.

HSE - Minor roof maintenance work: Protecting against falls.
What is it?
Minor roof maintenance work is a task which:
¦ can be completed in a matter of minutes, not hours;
¦ is infrequent;
¦ only needs one or two people;
¦ does not involve difficult work (eg heavy or awkward
loads); and
¦ only involves a small area.
For example, replacing a couple of roof slates.
Working from roofs is specialised work and should only be done
by competent people, using a method of work specific to the job,
with appropriate supervision and monitoring. Other types of roof
work, which take longer, are larger in scale or more difficult need
to have higher standards of fall protection, eg suitable scaffolding

PPE

HSE - Selecting, using and maintaining personal fall protection equipment.
What is personal fall
protection equipment?
There are several types of personal fall protection systems
and equipment. Users of these systems require high levels of
training and appropriate close supervision:
¦ work restraint systems and equipment will include a
lanyard which must be adjusted, or set, to a fixed length
to prevent the user physically getting to a place where
they could fall, eg a roof edge or fragile surface;
¦ work positioning systems and equipment enable the
user to work in tension or suspension to prevent or limit
a fall, eg a boatswain’s chair or linesman. A back-up
system is needed in case the main support fails;
¦ rope access systems use two ropes, a working rope
and a safety rope, each secured to a reliable anchor.
The user’s harness is attached to both ropes in such a
way they can get to and from the work area and the risk
of falling is prevented or limited. This type of system
could be used to access the side of a tall building where
a cradle cannot be used;
¦ fall arrest systems and equipment limit the impact force
of a fall on the user and prevent them hitting the ground.
The anchor point should be as high as possible above
the feet of the user to limit the distance of the fall.
Equipment should be regularly inspected for wear and
damage.

Selecting competent contractors for work at height

HSE - Selecting competent contractors for work at height.
Are you responsible for maintaining a building or a piece of
plant? Does this involve the need to work at height? Tasks
might include gutter cleaning, painting, roof repairs, or
servicing plant and electrical equipment. If you are, you need
to make sure any contractors you use for this work are
competent to work at height.
Selecting contractors
Identify the work that needs to be done. This will help you
decide the sort of contractor you need and the type of
competence you will expect them to have.
Ask the following questions to help you decide if the
contractor is competent to do the work you need them to do.

HSE - Selecting equipment for work at height

Selecting equipment for work at height.
What factors do you
need to consider?
Working conditions
When deciding which type of equipment is most suitable for
a particular task, consider the following:
¦ slopes or poor ground conditions;
¦ obstructions, eg steelwork or overhangs;
¦ fragile surfaces;
¦ floor loading.
Distance to be climbed
Portable ladders are less suitable for higher climbs,
particularly if loads are carried. Where possible, provide
temporary stairs or scaffold access towers with internal
stairs, rather than portable ladders.
Duration and frequency of use
Longer duration or regular jobs generally justify a better
standard of fall protection, eg a tower scaffold, podium step or
cherry picker rather than a ladder or stepladder. A ladder or
stepladder may be acceptable for short duration tasks, eg
replacing a light bulb when building a tower or podium would
not be reasonable because the task itself takes only a few
seconds to do. But, installing several rows of light bulbs or
fluorescent strips in a false ceiling refurbishment may justify the
use of a tower or podium steps because the task takes longer.

Work at height: The basics

Work at height means work in any place where, if
precautions were not taken, a person could fall down and
injure themselves.
If you:
¦ work above ground level;
¦ could fall from an edge, through an opening or fragile
surface; or
¦ could fall from ground level into an opening in a floor or
hole in the ground;
you will be working at height, because you can fall from one
level to another.

Selecting the right mewp for the job

This information sheet is aimed at those responsible for selecting, specifying and managing mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) on site and should be read alongside Preventing falls from boomtype mobile elevating work platforms.1
It tells you what you should consider before selecting a MEWP to gain access to work at height and the risks that need to be managed while the MEWP is in use.
All types of MEWPs are covered by this guidance, including ones that are:
¦
vertical ‘scissor’ lift;
¦
selfpropelled
boom;
¦
vehiclemounted
boom; and
¦
trailermounted
boom.

This information sheet has been produced in consultation with the International Powered Access Federation Ltd (IPAF), the Construction Planthire
Association and the British Constructional Steelwork Association.

MEWPS Working on roofs

Working on a roof can be dangerous. Falls account for more deaths and serious injuries in construction than anything else and roofers account for 24% – the biggest category of worker by far – of those people who are killed in all falls from height.

Any fall from a roof inevitably involves at least a serious injury. The risks are substantial, however long or short the work. Many have been killed who only meant to be on the roof for a few minutes ‘to have a quick look’ or to carry out a small repair.

This leaflet is aimed at people who actually carry out roof work or are directly responsible for managing or supervising it. It sets out key safeguards, but more detailed information is contained in Health and safety in roof work HSG33.
Falls occur:
¦
from the edges of roofs;
¦
through gaps or holes in roofs; and
¦
through fragile roof materials and roof lights.
In addition, many people have been seriously injured by material falling or thrown from roofs.

Selecting competent contractors for working at height

Selecting competent contractors for working at height

The more complex and potentially dangerous the activities, the more likely it is that the answers and information will need to be recorded.

As the client, you will be responsible for checking that any contractor you appoint is competent to do the work safely. Work which involves greater risks, eg work on roofs, will need more thorough checks to ensure that the contractor has the necessary skills and knowledge. Once you have selected a competent contractor, you will need to exchange information and agree the method of work.
Both will need to be done before work starts. Pre-work meetings are a good way of ensuring that the work is properly planned and controlled. Finally, you will also need to monitor the work.

Scaffold tower training - PASMA Courses

This information sheet is aimed at users of mobile access towers (also known as tower scaffolds or towers). It will also help those who select and specify such equipment.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require an assessment to be undertaken before starting any work at height. If the assessment confirms that there is no alternative to working at height, then suitable work equipment should be selected, taking into account the nature of the work.

Mobile access towers are widely used and can provide an effective and safe means of gaining access to work at height. However, inappropriate erection and misuse of towers are the cause of numerous accidents each year. Aluminium and thin-wall steel towers are light and can easily overturn if used incorrectly. Towers rely on all parts being in place to ensure adequate strength. They can collapse if sections are left out.

Before selecting or specifying a tower, you must be satisfied that it is the most suitable item of equipment for the job.

Best Practice Guidance for MEWPs    Avoiding Trapping / Crushing Injuries to   People in the Platform

Best Practice Guidance for MEWPs Avoiding Trapping / Crushing Injuries to People in the Platform

A mobile elevating work platform (often referred to as a MEWP) saves time and makes work at height
efficient, effective and safer than using traditional methods of access. When used safely, MEWPs
significantly reduce the risk of injuries through falling from height.

Unfortunately over the past few years a significant number of accidents involving the use of MEWPs
have occurred, including tragically fatalities. Some of these incidents have involved the operator or other
person being crushed against fixtures or other obstacles while accessing their work area, or while
working at height. The incidents could have been prevented by correct planning and preparation,
selection of appropriate machinery and proper use.
