A comprehensive Health and Safety construction file in plain English. This document will aid compliance with construction and health and safety legislation.
About this document
Construction managers must use this Health and Safety file 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 this file for work on domestic premises or minor work in occupied offices, shops or similar premises.
The document helps develop awareness of potential risks to all employees, from managers down, and your clients and professional team. It also informs staff how to minimise risks and is therefore a useful and necessary management tool.
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.
