3Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment1 part
3 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Managing health, safety, and environmental risks (SHEQ) is crucial throughout our projects. The Delivery Team identifies and assesses risks from the start, continuously monitoring them in line with ISO 45001 principles. Our overall approach follows Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment.

This involves reviewing project details, identifying hazards (including environmental risks), and considering everyone at risk, especially vulnerable groups. We assess how severe and likely risks are, evaluate existing controls, and implement new measures if needed. All Risk Assessments are recorded and communicated to staff and operatives, including through project-specific RAMS created using Risk Assessment Form and Method Statement Form . Every RAMS is logged on the RAMS Register (), evaluated for subcontractor packages via the SC RAMS Evaluation (), and reviewed by the Contracts Manager / Senior Project Manager using RAMS Review. On the day, operatives confirm conditions still match the plan through a Point of Work Risk Assessment ().

Activity-specific assessments are completed where the hazard applies:
- Vibration — Vibration Risk Assessment () in line with HAVS; where exposure exceeds the EAV, operatives (including subcontractors) complete a BCE Individual Weekly Vibration Log (), signed by both the operative and supervisor. Those diagnosed with HAVS must log all vibratory tool usage.
- Noise — Noise Assessment Record () following Workplace Noise.
- Manual handling — Manual Handling Assessment ().
- Hazardous substances — COSHH Assessment Suite () following Hazardous Substances.
- Fire — Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Plan ().
RAMS and all supporting assessments are reviewed after incidents, significant changes, or updates to laws to ensure controls remain effective.
Key points
•The Delivery Team is responsible for managing project health, safety, and environmental risks, continuously monitoring them following ISO 45001 principles.
•Risk assessments involve reviewing project information, identifying hazards (including environmental risks) and individuals at risk, assessing severity and likelihood, and evaluating existing controls.
•Project-specific RAMS are prepared using Risk Assessment Form and Method Statement Form .
•RAMS and noise risk assessments are reviewed after incidents, significant changes, or legislative updates.
•Operatives using vibrating tools must complete a BCE Individual Weekly Vibration Log (Form ) if exposure is above the EAV, ensuring it's signed by both operative and supervisor.

Entry is only authorised under a Confined Space Permit to Work, issued and signed off by a competent Permit Issuer in line with Permits to Work, and recorded on the Permit Register. Only trained and authorised individuals can supervise, enter, or act as top-man/rescue.

Remember, proper ventilation, continuous atmospheric monitoring, communications, and a written rescue plan are non-negotiable. Your safety is our priority. If in doubt, do not enter.
Key points
•Always follow CP6: SHEQ for any confined space entry.
•Complete forms , , and before entry.
•Only trained and authorized personnel can supervise or enter confined spaces.
•Ensure proper ventilation, atmospheric monitoring, and rescue plans are in place.

5.6 Working at Height
Working at Height: Your Safety Guide

Any work where a person could fall and injure themselves is working at height — this includes scaffolds, MEWPs, ladders, roofs, edges of structures and excavations. Follow Working at Height at all times.

Plan the task with a Risk Assessment, Method Statement and confirm controls on site with a Point of Work Risk Assessment (POWRA). Where the work is high-risk (e.g. fragile roofs, edge work without collective protection, or bespoke access) a Permit to Work at Height must be issued and logged on the Permit Register.

Access equipment must be inspected and recorded:
- Scaffolding must be inspected by a competent person before first use, every 7 days, after alteration, damage or adverse weather — record on Working at Height Inspection and the scaffold's Temporary Works Safety Checklist (Scaffold/Fences).
- MEWPs, podiums, ladders and harnesses must be pre-use checked and in date for thorough examination.
Excavations as working at height: make sure there's a safe way in and out, edges are protected, and for excavations deeper than 2.5m, proper fall protection and rescue equipment are in place. If you're in an excavation deeper than 1.5m you must wear a safety harness to allow quick rescue.

Always prioritise collective protection (edge protection, nets) over personal protection (harnesses), and never work at height alone without a rescue plan.
Key points
•Always provide safe access and egress for excavations.
•Ensure edge protection is in place for all excavations.
•For excavations deeper than 2.5 meters, install appropriate fall protection and rescue systems.
•Wear a safety harness in any excavation deeper than 1.5 meters for emergency recovery.
