Staff Handbook - Policies and Procedures

Other safe systems of work may be devised to suit different working situations and different types of scaffolds, but these must always strive to facilitate the strict requirements of maintaining 2.0m social distancing. Before the scaffold is dismantled, the work sequence should be planned to ensure that all necessary safety precautions and social distancing rules are adopted. Emergency Procedures. Within your RAMS it will detail rescue procedures for you to follow; either rescue plan 1, 2, 3 or 4. During and immediately after the rescue operation, it may not be possible to maintain the 2.0m social distancing rules throughout, but life-saving procedures must take precedence. A suitable rescue procedure, which minimises contact time or incorporates available PPE and enhanced hygiene procedures etc. must therefore be in place. PLEASE USE YOUR EMERGENCY PPE PACK IN YOUR VEHICLE FOR PROTECTION. Before starting any job, make sure that you are fully aware of the emergency procedures, including the means of raising the alarm and alerting the rescue team. The method and means of effecting the rescue should always be detailed on the risk assessment. More detailed guidance is available in NASC document ‘Guidance for Scaffolding Operations During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic’ (GSO) – this is within your emergency PPE pack.
