Site safety presentation given to new supervisors

New supervisors on the Glengall Road project received a site safety presentation this week to ensure they are aware of the specific safety rules on the scheme.

On 16th November, our in-house Safety Health Environment and Quality (SHEQ) Advisor, Mark Armstrong joined Site Manager, Josh Peach to deliver the Site Supervisor Safety presentation to all supervisors that had recently started on the project.

Held within our onsite meeting room, the purpose of the session was to thoroughly explain to the supervisors what is expected of them when working on a major project such as Glengall Road.

Due to precast nature of the project, the importance of permits and where operatives could potentially need to enter areas close to FPM install zones was explained. What a suitable and sufficient Friday pack should contain was also discussed.

Looking closely at Equans' 12 golden rules in terms of safety, pre-enrolment and the induction of new staff, as well as what's required in terms of starting right, pre-start briefings and the role DABS play on site were among other topics discussed in detail throughout the presentation.

Further explanation was given regarding our weekly SHEQ inspections and how and why clear up notices would be given and their impact. The online delivery system was explained as well as the relevance and importance of the pitlanes on site. The supervisors were then run through our expectations of them and their operatives, looking at key points such as the daily DABS, storage, COSHH, housekeeping, waste, use of MEWPS and mobile towers, RPE and the use of tools amongst other key items.
