Health & Safety Level 2 Flashcards
What measures would you put in place if you are the only person on site to protect your own safety?
My colleagues and manager have my telephone number, so I would ensure that the site has good signal. I would update my shared calendar and company attendance tracker to ensure my colleagues knew when I was attending site, and travel arrangements. I would make arrangements to check in with a colleague upon arrival and departure of the site.
On the St John’s Wood School, explain how you undertook the H&S audit in conjunction with the Principal Designer?
Firstly, we reviewed items in conjunction with the CDM Regulations, such as the H&S File, HSE F10 Notification, Display of Site Rules, Access to Site and provision of RAMS. WE then walked around the site and noted any H&S concerns.
On the St John’s Wood School, what were the findings of the audit and what was the outcome?
The following findings were identified:
1. One scaffold was not bearing onto a hardstanding which could destabilise the structure
2. Noted areas which should either have a scaffold hatch or be netted
3. Trailing power leads
4. Combustible waste was stored against a neighbouring residential property
5. Fire extinguishers were grouped together on site, these should be distributed to give better access to them in an emergency.
Can you give an example of reviewing H&S proposals as part of a contractors tender?
