Description

• Try and rearrange tasks to enable them to be done by one person, or by maintaining social distancing measures (2 metres) • Try and ask you to use stairs in preference to lifts. • Use Ginny Wheels to minimise interface with other operatives. • Avoid face to face contact. When attending site meetings keep 2m apart at all times or ask for the meeting to be held outside. • Minimise the frequency and time people are within 2 metres of each other • Minimise the number of people involved in gangs • You should work side by side, or facing away from each other, rather than face to face • Lower the number of people in lifts, toilets, eating and changing facilities. • Enhance personal hygiene, and cleaning regimes. E.g. wash hands after using equipment. • Increase ventilation in confined spaces. • Separate individual gangs where possible. • Keep teams of workers together. e.g. (do not change gang members or persons who travel together). • Keep gangs as small as possible; • Allocate segregation bays between you and other contractors on site with barriers. • Where face to face working is essential to carry out a task when working within 2 metres: • Keep this to 15 minutes or less where possible • Consider introducing an enhanced authorisation process for these activities • Provide additional supervision to monitor and manage compliance • Train, encourage and monitor to ensure everyone takes responsibility for their actions to minimise the risk of spread of infection. • Where you are required to work in specific environments you may be asked to wear additional PPE • Carry out a task specific risk assessment to determine suitable PPE to protect workers from the hazard. • You have an emergency pack in your vehicles with PPE you may need.
