Many of the fatal and serious incidents that occur on construction sites involve small contractors and the self-employed. The CSPAC will develop and promote the use of a standardised approach to the management of health and safety on sites. The introduction of a standardised approach for the management of health and safety will be of significant benefit to all contractors but in particular to small contractors and the self-employed. Goals achieved by this working group will be incoperated into BeSMART.ie where possible.
Goals:
- Develop a standardised BeSMART.ie Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS)
for contractors. - Develop a standardised ‘Safe Plan of Action’, or Safe Work Plan or Safe System of Work Plan.
- Review the Safe System of Work Plan and determine if it can be upgraded to a functioning digital form.
- In association with the Objective 5 working group, develop a standardised approach to the management of chemicals and dangerous substances such as silica to reduce short and long term health effects to workers.
- Further promote BeSMART.ie for construction with an emphasis on self-employed and small contractors.
- Update existing guidance for timber frame.
