Health and Safety at Work - 6. Construction Planning Stage
This is a crucial project stage when Raitt assumes responsibility as main
contractor following a successful tender bid. Raitt shall accept responsibility
for the effective coordination of safety matters on site and prepare appropriate
procedures for the construction stage. It will be Raitt's duty to develop and
implement the health and safety plan from this point onwards.
It is at this stage that Raitt Management will select subcontractors.
Subcontractors will be given information about the project, the site and the
procedures for the safety organisation on the site, to enable them to fulfil
their responsibilities. All subcontractors should accept at the tender stage,
the main contractor's right to manage the site. They should agree to cooperate
on health and safety matters with other contractors and accept the need to obey
site rules. Detailed arrangements will be agreed with each appointed
subcontractor at an initial safety meeting. This meeting will be chaired by the
Senior members of Raitt Staff on Site and will follow the agenda laid down by
Raitt.
Where work on services are to be provided to Raitt whilst working on client
occupied premises, special regulations may apply, these being in addition to the
full range of Raitt safety regulations. Cooperation with the occupiers is
essential and Raitt Management will advise subcontractors of additional rules
and conditions.
