| Control Measures | |
| 1 | Planning: Sufficient numbers of trained operatives and competent supervision must be available before work starts. Sufficient and suitable plant must be available for filling activities. Suitable monitoring equipment and personnel trained in its use will be required where known exposure to toxic substances or lack of oxygen may occur. Location of existing services must be complete before work starts, also information obtained on ground conditions from site surveys. |
| 2 | Physical: Substantial barriers will be erected around excavations greater than 2m deep. Where poor ventilation is identified the atmosphere will be continually monitored. Stop barriers will be used to prevent vehicle entry. Spoil and materials will be stacked back at minimum of 1M from the edges of excavations. Ladders will be provided for safe access/egress. Cable location devices (C.A.T.) and client / Local Authority drawings will be used to trace buried services prior to commencement of work. Suitable signs and barriers will be provided to warn of the work. A ready supply of cold drinking water together with salt / dextrose tablets will be available. |
| 3 | Managerial/Supervisory: Ensure safe system of work provided, taking account of prevailing conditions including weather, traffic and existing structures. Provide suitable PPE as required and ensure its correct use. Ensure personnel selected are capable, fit and experienced unless under direct supervision. COSHH assessments are to be made of substances likely to be found or produced during the work. |
| 4 | Training: Supervisors must have received training in COSHH appreciation, general site safety, theory and practice of filling work. Operatives must have received training in filling procedures and use of cable location devices. Toolbox talks on Filling work, MHO’s, COSHH and Noise will be given at regular intervals. |
