5. Planning and managing projects (page 13.)

• Route map with table provided: – planning; knowledge, compliance, programme etc.

– risk management; risk assess, controls, demo plan

– method statements format, methods & sequence

– competencies & training

– management & planning should translate to site

• Thorough planning = safe & effective projects: – responsible clients providing adequate PCI & time

– competent contractors with good supervision & controls

• Caution note: – ensure time & follow the principles in CDM 2015

– ensure all appointments are adequately assessed for SKTE (competence) / organisational capability & capacity

7. Knowledge of the site (page 29)

• Route map with 2 tables: – desk & on site studies

– responsibilities for acquiring & providing info

– condition surveys; adjoining buildings & dilapidations

– Table 5; key features & potential hazards (page 36)

– reports & dissemination of knowledge

• Useful reminder to clients of their CDM duties – Regulation 4. Pre-construction information (PCI)

– however what about poor surveys e.g. asbestos etc.?

• Caution note: contractors that ask too many questions often don’t get the job!

beware of unknown or silent areas in surveys / reports

2 key steps to safely control & minimise

asbestos exposure risks during demolition

Operative(s)

Mesothelioma

Demolition or refurbishment

Client Refurb & Demolition

Asb Survey to HSG264

1. ensure R&D Survey is provided

2. communicated, understood & controlled

Part of PCI C/R or PC CPP + RA/MS

Client & PD (if applic) PCI

Initial inspection of the manhole

revealed brick lining only

Core revealed asbestos lining! Asbestos survey gaps on a Calciner (CaO)

Example where POOR surveys can result in

health risks & costly removal / remediation

8. Decommissioning procedures (page 38.)

• Route map with 4 sections: – management & supervision

– decommissioning activities

– mothballing

– time lag effects

• Useful for checklist identifying steps needed, but. – doesn’t explain the importance of competent advice?

– where does decommissioning end & demolition start?

• Caution note: ensure clear understanding & who is responsible for what!

all services terminations should ideally be air-gapped

Tank ID, products, clean, vent & demo; SSoW & RA/MS

HCL cleaned & vented Atmosphere? / Access permit

Solid Sulphur Tank? Rapeseed Oil Tank?

9. Identifying structural hazards (page 42.)

• Route map with 3 sections: – general

– ID of structural form & features

– Examination of structural condition

• Identifies how to avoid uncontrolled structural collapse. – good route map as prompts

– Cast columns, extremely good compressive strength

– talks about unbalanced thrusts = actions & reactions etc

• Caution notes: doesn’t cover hybrid/mixed construction!

ensure understanding of latent defects / condition!

recognise when you need competent advice!

• Route map, tables & figures in 5 sections: – defines the terminology, design and management of areas

– explains the principles as part of the safety regime

– good use of diagrams

• Exclusion zones generally comprise of 4 areas: 1. plan area also remember to designate:

2. designed drop area “safe

3. predicted debris area working

4. buffer area spaces”

• Caution notes: not prescriptive, relies heavily on experience!

doesn’t define types of barriers & when needed

plus often poor at defining safe working spaces / routes

13. Safe working spaces & exclusion zones

Guidance Guidance



CDM 2015 Reg 19; stability of structures

1. All practicable steps must¹ be taken to prevent danger to any person from any structure which may become unstable or is in temp state of weakness or instability does not collapse².

2. Any buttress, temporary supports or structures must¹ be designed, installed & maintained so as to withstand any foreseeable loads imposed.

3. A structure must¹ not be loaded as to render it unsafe to any person

Notes:

¹CDM has removed the word “SHALL” & substituted with “MUST”

²Excess loading or pre-weakening may result in a premature collapse

Section 78 Dangerous building notice – C/R appointed but…..

S78 Dangerous building notice; C/R caused unplanned collapse

CDM 2015 Reg 20; Demolition or dismantling

1. The demolition or dismantling of a structure, or part

of a structure, must be planned and carried out to

prevent danger or, where it is not practicable to

prevent it, to reduce the danger to ALARP¹

2. The arrangements for carrying out such demolition

or dismantling must be recorded in writing² before

the work begins.

Notes:

¹ALARP = As low as is reasonably practicable

²Clients must ensure this is undertaken
