Regulations:

Dust Regulations

The 2002 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations help to prevent your exposure to construction dust and crystalline silica. The rules demand that a qualified individual carries out a full risk assessment for activities which could result in dust exposure. As part of the assessment, the workforce must be equipped safely to carry out their job by reducing, eliminating, controlling and isolating or using appropriate PPE. Staff must be trained and informed about relevant hazards.

Engine Fumes Regulations

Equipment must not be used on domestic premises or in confined spaces without appropriate ventilation where carbon monoxide poisoning could occur.

Noise Regulations

The 2005 Control of Noise at Work Regulations ensure workers are safe from any excessive noise that could cause hearing loss. If noise levels exceed 80 decibels, the risks to workers’ well-being must be assed and if it exceeds 85 decibels, hearing protection must be provided. No exposure is permitted to noises louder than 87 dB.

Working At Height Regulations

The 2005 Working At Height Regulations help you to select and manage the right equipment to ensure safety when working at height. There are three steps to consider:

  • Whether other equipment like lifting equipment or extendable tools could be used instead.

  • Preventing of potential falls by thorough planning and organisation of the work before commencement, by carrying out a complete risk assessment, by ensuring all staff are fully trained and competent and ensuring that the right safety equipment and measures are in use.

  • Minimising the consequences associated with a fall through the use of the correct safety equipment and by ensuring this equipment is fully maintained.
