1.0 THIS HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN
This Construction Phase Plan has been developed from the Pre-construction Information provided by the
client and Comprehensive Design Ltd and will be further developed as the Project progresses through the
construction phase.
This Health and Safety Plan is a dynamic document that will change and develop throughout the project. All
persons working on or visiting the site will be made aware of the availability of this plan and its contents.
This document will be clearly displayed and available to all persons working on/visiting the site.
Arrangements for display of the notifiable particulars

Our company standard Health and Safety notice board is clearly displayed in the site office
• Appendix 7 diagram of Notifiable Particulars
Health and Safety goals for the project

Are aim is to maintain a hazard free site with no risk to the Health and Safety of site personnel/ Visitors and
members of the public.
Arrangements for achieving/applying the Health and Safety goals, targets, key performance
indicators etc
Each sub-contractor / specialist consultant is asked to provide method statements and risk assessments two
weeks prior to starting on site. These are produced at the pre-let meeting which is organised by the Site
Manager and Quantity Surveyor.
Our key performances indicators to achieve our goals are
1. Our record of daily/weekly plant inspections
2. Site Manager scaffold inspections
3. Safety adviser’s report which identifies hazards, which are collated into an annual report which
is forwarded to our Health and safety Director which he would then compare with the
previous year. Armed with this information our Health & Safety goal is the reduce the amount
of hazards found within our development
4. Site Managers visual inspection is recorded in the site diary
5. Roles and responsibilities are found in section 3.2
How the Health and Safety is to be monitored

Our Safety advisors The British Safety Group (BSG) monitor the site fortnightly and produce a safety report
which is monitored, and any action points are address immediately by the Site Manager, Build Manager and
Construction Director
The health and safety is reviewed

During the;
• Monthly sales safety report
• Monthly Site meeting
• Bi-monthly Active project Meeting
• Visual inspections daily by site Manager
• Post project review

1.2 CDM STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROJECT
It is the intention of this company that:

• Activities shall be carried out in accordance with relevant statutory provisions to include the Construction
Design & Management Regulations 2007;
• Facilities will be provided for both employer/employee and project team consultations on CDM matters,
and information arising which has a health and safety/risk implication will be disseminated to those who
may be so affected;
• Management of the Project shall include the encouragement and maintenance of the co-operation
between all employees and individual project parties (i.e. consultants and contractors) working on the
Project;
• Expert advice and assistance will be obtained where necessary to discharge obligations and duties
identified within the CDM Regulations
• The works shall be completed in accordance with the quality standards specified, to programme and
budget as per Client instruction
The Company regards the provision of a safe and healthy working environment on construction sites as a
principal objective. This objective can only be achieved by the co-operation of the Company, employees,
subcontractors, the client and his representatives and the main contractor. Co-operation must be at all levels
within these different organisations through the structures established under the Construction Design and
Management Regulations (CDM).
The Company will collaborate with all parties to provide the organisation, advice and resources to meet this
commitment so far as is reasonably practicable. Authority to implement this policy is defined for all those who
have a responsibility for health and safety.
The Company has established a series of management procedures to ensure that health and safety issues
retain a high profile during all stages of the Company’s activities. Such procedures are devised to conform to
the requirements of CDM.
It is the responsibility of the Company to:
1. Sustain and carry out this policy by all means at their disposal;
2. Provide adequate safety and job training for all employees with particular attention to special safety training
where appropriate;
3. Comply with the requirements of the relevant legislation, to undertake risk assessments of all activities and
to ensure that safe systems of work and a safe working environment are put in place.
4. Ensure that the operations of the Company are carried out without risk to the health and safety of third
parties.
The Company will seek to maintain a constant interest in all aspects of safety by effective consultation with all
parties concerning hazards and incidents which affect health and safety at work and to prevent any adjustment
or damage to plant and equipment which may create a hazard.
Site Managers and Build Managers are responsible for the safety of employees, subcontractors and visitors in
their charge and must ensure that policies and procedures are made known and are observed. It is their
responsibility to ensure the effective delegation of these duties during their absence.
Employees, subcontractors and visitors to site are responsible for observing Company policies and
procedures and for ensuring that at all times they work in a manner consistent with the safety of themselves
and others.
The effectiveness of health and safety measures will be monitored continuously in order to ensure that both
policy and practice are appropriate at all times to the activities of the Company.
All those involved in the construction phase have a statutory duty to comply with this Construction Phase
Plan and to provide Cavanna Homes with any information which they have, which is needed to keep the Plan
up to date. Anyone wishing to seek advice on compliance should contact Cavanna Homes.

5.0 IDENTIFICATION AND EFFECTIVE MANAGEEMNT OF ACTIVITIES WITH RISK TO

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Arrangements for ensuring every other contractor provide Health & Safety information to their
workers and provide necessary training.
Contractually this is covered in the post tender review. At the induction stage all workers will be asked if
they have read the company risk assessment and method statements prior to starting on site and understand
Cavanna Homes Health & Safety objectives at the post-tender review
5.1 Risk Assessments

General Statement
Risk assessments form the central strand of a self-regulated safety management system. Successful completion
of them provides sound economic benefits to the organisation as well as satisfying legal requirements.
This policy is intended to reduce risks to the health and safety of employees and others who may be affected
by the way in which we conduct our business.
For site wide elements these will be developed by Cavanna Homes prior to commencement of any works as
part of the establishment process to include:
(a) The storage and distribution of materials
(b) Access to the works
(c) Working at height
(d) Control and disposal of waste
(e) The provision and use of temporary services e.g. Electricity
(f) Commissioning, including use of permit to work systems e.g. limitation of access, hot works etc.
(g) Exclusion of unauthorised people.
All Contractors will be required to submit an overall project method statement and details of high risk
activities / activities which will impact on others working on site 2 weeks prior starting on site.
All method statements and risk assessments will be accepted by us prior to contractors etc being allowed to
commence works on the site.
Additional periodic risk assessments will need to be made as required by Regulation 3 of the Management of
Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 as ‘risk’ activities arise. Where these activities affect others, the
relevant assessment and information shall be made known to them.
Risk assessments will be used to identify operations or areas where permits to work are required as part of
our control procedures. The Site Manager shall be responsible for the issue of permits to work to include the
following activities:
(a) Hot works
(b) Working within an area where openings in floors exist
(c) Electrical adaptations to existing live supplies
(d) Adaptations to existing surfaces under conservation orders.
(e) Drilling/coring into the structure
(f) Working in confined spaces
(g) Alterations to fire protection
Those involved in the risk assessment process will receive appropriate training.
Arrangements for Securing the Health and Safety of Workers
1. Elimination of Hazards
The organisation will ensure all hazards will be eliminated, so far as is reasonably practicable. If this is
not possible, the remaining risks will either be avoided or reduced to an acceptable level. The
measures introduced to achieve this will follow the principles of prevention and aim to combat risks at
source.
2. Assessment of Risk
If hazards cannot be eliminated or risks avoided, an assessment of risks will be carried out by
competent persons. The following factors will be considered during the assessment.
a. Likelihood
Whether the likelihood of the harm arising from the hazard is:
i. unlikely;
ii. likely;
iii. highly likely.
b. Severity
Consideration will be made of whether the severity of harm from the hazard is likely to be:
i. slightly harmful;
ii. harmful;
iii. very harmful.
Reference will be made to accident book records, reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous
Occurrences Regulations 1995 forms, sickness and ill-health records, first-aid records and incident (near
miss) records when reaching this decision.
5.2 Safety Method Statements
The Safety Method Statement should contain the following details as a guide:
• Description of the works

• Where the activity is to be carried out on site. This is important if work is being carried out in an
occupied building.
• Supervisors: The identity of person(s) with special responsibilities.
• The identity of hazards and specific precautions to be taken.
• The personal protective equipment to be used.
• Safety of the Public and Occupiers.
• Services: position of existing and whether they are live.
• Environmental controls.
• Emergency procedures and telephone numbers including means of communication.
The Method Statement should be short and concise. It should be kept in mind that it should inform the
operative how he can carry out his work task safely and what to look out for before he commences work.
Each Contractor will prepare and issue a Method Statement and Risk Assessment for their element of the
work address items (a)-(i), which will be retained on site for information within the site safety filing system.
Method statements and risk assessments for each contractor’s works will be reviewed before their works
commence.
Contractors will provide Risk Assessments/Method Statements that accurately detail how they propose to
carry out their works. Risk Assessments /Method Statements will be issued to Cavanna Homes prior to works
being undertaken. Cavanna Homes will check the adequacy of the Risk Assessment/Method Statement against
their Standard Safety Procedure checklists.
Only when a Risk Assessment/Method Statement has been agreed by Cavanna Homes will the Contractor
start the works. Not withstanding the contents of a Risk Assessment/Method Statement, should Cavanna
Homes judge a Contractors method of work to be unsafe, then Cavanna Homes will instruct the Contractor
to suspend operations until an improved method can be arranged. Contractors are responsible for their safe
systems of work.
The following trade contract method statements will be produced with specific documents being produced for
high-risk activities, (this list will be expanded as the Project progresses as part of the Project Risk Register):

APPENDIX 5: OUTLINE METHOD STATEMENT
CAVANNA HOMES (CORNWALL) LTD

METHOD STATEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE PLAN
CONSTRUCTION OF 100 DWELLINGS
(a) Project description
This project consists of 100 open market properties of which 15 constructed with timber frame.
The accommodation is a mixture of 2, 3 and 4 bed terraced and town houses.
The main infrastructure roads and drainage for this development will link the existing highway
and the drainage network in Plymbridge Road. Existing services within the vicinity of the new
proposed new access will require lowering to provide adequate protection under the new road
construction. This alteration will be carried out by all relevant service authorities. The
construction access will be via the existing access from Plymbridge Road. The construction area
will be accessed by a haul road allowing the site estate road to be constructed inside the existing
security fencing. Adequate temporary signage will be provided to warn the pedestrians and the
road users. The estate roads will be at a later date to link up the Plymbridge Road as soon the
off-site works are nearing the completion stage. The road link will be made once the estate road
is ready to receive the base course tarmac and safe access can be achieved to exit the site.
It is anticipated the road construction and some of the plot foundations will be carried out at the
same time. There will be two separate ground work teams engaged in the initial construction
works. For the initial 8 week period all the infrastructure works will be carried out within the
site secure boundary.
Sutton Harbour Group is responsible for the provision of off site foul and surface water
connections for this development. These connections will be required and should be made
available by the Sutton Harbour Group before early December 2011. During these works
consideration must be given to maintain the traffic flows and the pedestrians using Plymbridge
Road. The off-site drainage will be constructed as part of the requisition and the management of
the contract will be administered by South West Water. The contractor will be responsible for
providing all relevant signage and notifications in advance of the works. It is anticipated these
works are likely to commence shortly and the outlet connections are made available by early
December 2011.
There are proposals to construct onsite soakaway systems within the courtyard areas to drain
some part of the onsite roads and the private drives. It is anticipated that all roads and drainage
works will be completed prior to commencement of any house superstructure works on site.
However, it is likely the foundations of plots 13-32 may be accelerated in advance during the
construction of the roads and sewers to achieve an early opening of a show home.
During the construction period a 1.8m high close board fencing will be installed to protect the
existing trees and hedgerows. All operatives will be inducted with respect to the site safety rules
and Traffic Management Plan. All risk assessments and the method of works will be carried out
by the nominated supervisor from the ground works contractor.
Prior to excavations all service authorities will be contacted to establish the position of the
existing main services within the site and footpaths and at the entrance to the site. Main services
will be located by either hand dug trial holes or CAT locator as appropriate.
Sutton Harbour Group is responsible to bring all the main services to the site boundary and the
onsite main service extension needs to be progressed as soon as the onsite roads are completed
to base course. The onsite services will be managed by the site team and continued from the
entrance into the site by the appropriate service contractor.
The ground works contractor will be responsible to remove all excavated materials off site. The
material disposal will be carefully managed inline with the project Traffic management plan. All
removal will be through the existing construction access. It is necessary to improve the visibility
at the entrance and this will be discussed and agreed in advance with the Highway Authority.
The main vehicular access to the construction area will be stoned and maintained clean
throughout the operation to keep the existing roads clean. The spoil will be transferred by the
appointed haulage company nominated by the ground works contractor.
There will be a safe working area established within the site and the existing security fencing will
be retained to stop any construction vehicle accessing the main runway or turning areas adjacent
to the working location. This fencing will be removed at a later stage when the link road is
constructed by PCA and open to use.
Plymouth City Airport Tower will be contacted by the nominated personal to advise when the
works commence and finish on a daily basis. The contractor will be expected to work with the
machinery applying restrictions to the arm reach stipulated by the PCA.
All operatives will be expected to wear PPE, hard hat, hi visibility jackets and safety footwear in
the operating areas. Due to the noise generated from the airfield every personal will be advised
to wear hearing protection during heavy traffic movement in the airfield.
The spoil movement will be delayed until the onsite roads are completed to base course
completion. The material will be transferred from the site using the construction access turning
left at Plymbridge Road. Lorries will not be allowed to park and wait on Plymbridge Road during
this operation. There will be a banksman employed to help with the traffic movement during the
bulk material disposal.
The ground works contractor will be responsible for maintaining the existing highway free from
any spoil spillage and causing mud on road during the wet period. The contractors will be
instructed to ensure and take all necessary steps to control the dust from all their operations
associated with this project.
The attached site plan show the following as proposed for this development:-
• Sales centre location has been identified within plots 60-62. This will be established within
the planning for phase 1. There will be a provision for sales parking of up to 3 cars outside
the sales centre area.
• Plots 18 – 32 will be of timber frame construction
• The site set up has been identified in GREEN on the attached plan and this area will be
used as the site compound for the duration of this phase and the remaining phases. The
re-location of this compound will be subject to the planning of the future phases.
• The area highlighted in PURPLE CROSS HATCHED will be utilised for the site waste
management. All waste will be segregated on site during the project and dispose off to
either a waste transfer station or the recycling centre.
• The area highlighted in YELLOW will be used for the storage of bulk and palletised
materials. This will be a good central service area to maintain the delivery traffic to off
load the material and turn around to exit through Plymbridge Road. Until such time the
link road is built and open to public, all deliveries and the site traffic will be using the
access from Plymbridge Road. The traffic management plan will be reviewed once the link
road is in place. This will allow us to manage the site delivery traffic using a one way traffic
arrangement to enter the site from Plymbridge Road and exit through the Tavistock Road
via the new link road.
• The area highlighted in YELLOW/BLACK HATCHING will be used initially for the sub-
contractors parking. However, during the construction the plans will be reviewed to
accommodate other project requirements. In the case of further development taking
place in the vicinity of this area, the parking provisions will be relocated within the
development.
• The haul road is marked in BLUE and this road will be utilised for the construction of the
initial phase. The construction access route will be reviewed regularly to correspond with
all future site activities. Future estate roads and the new development phases will have an
impact on this haul road. The construction haul road will be diverted at all times to
segregate the pedestrians and the residents from the daily construction activities.
• The initial construction access will be via Plymbridge Road and this access is highlighted
with RED DIRECTION ARROWS.
• Once completed the initial section of new site roads will be screened off by Timber
hoarding to stop any construction vehicles entering the site. This area will be clearly
marked with directional signage for the site visitors and residents who will be taking
occupations of the completed units.
• The sequence of the build will follow as indicated in GREEN arrows starting with plots
18 –> 32 in Timber frame; 17 –> 12; 11 –> 7; 6 –> 1; 33 –> 38.
• The traffic management during construction and occupation will follow the route as
indicated on the attached plan as marked in RED and BLUE. See the Traffic management
Plan for detailed information.
• The Site manager will be expected to keep close liaison with PCA regarding operations
involving cranes due to low flying aircraft. The crane operating company must adhere to
all PCA and CAA requirements regarding operations. Notifications to PCA tower and
agree the operating times are paramount during heavy lifting of floor slabs and timber
frame components
Existing mains/services
No evidence of any overhead services through this parcel of land. There are many underground
services some of which will require diversion during the construction works. All diversion works
will be carried out as appropriate in coordination with the project. All off site services will be
brought to the site boundary by others.
Existing BT and Virgin media cables have been identified within the existing footpath at the
entrance to the site. The depth of these cables will have an impact on the road construction
when forming the site entrance. These cables will require lowering during the construction or
placement of concrete slab to protect the services. Lowering of the cables will be carried out by
the service companies prior to commencement of the road works.
All new services will been laid and co-ordinated information will be issued to site as soon as they
are available.
Construction Vehicle Movements:-
During the ground works activity it is anticipated a minimum of 10 vehicles per day will be
visiting site.
This will increase to a maximum of 20 vehicles per day and additional 15 vehicles to
remove the spoil. Movement will be limited to shorter timescale of 1-2 weeks at any on time and
the vehicle movement will be at shorter intervals leaving or entering the site.
All transporters will be loaded within the site boundary and the site personal will be
responsible for managing the traffic flow, to and from the site.
During the superstructure activities the number of construction delivery vehicles
will increase. This is estimated at 15 further vehicles per day. All deliveries will be unloaded
nearer the compound area which is located in the centre of the development..
Construction Operation Hours:-
As stated in the code of Practice the construction operation hours are as

Follows:-
Monday – Friday 08.00 - 18.00
Saturday 08.30 - 13.00
Construction Vehicular Routes:-
The attached traffic management statement and the route plan shows how the
traffic will be managed to and from site initially. However, the management of the vehicle will vary
from time to time and this will reflect in the on-site traffic management record. Due to the nature of
the development the traffic management route is likely change when the link road is completed and
open to use.
Construction Delivery Hours:-
Construction deliveries will be managed within the site operating hours and
all suppliers will be notified about the delivery times.
Construction vehicles and Parking;-
It is anticipated at least 20-25 sub-contactors vehicle per day to service this site.
The sub-contractors will be expected to park their vehicles within the site
boundary in the allocated parking area. This will exclude the statutory authorities
who will be carrying out service alterations and other works outside the site
boundary.
Sub-contractors will be encouraged to share the transport to minimise the

parking provisions required on site.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
1. All site deliveries to use a two way system to unload materials using the existing access road
to the designated areas. Directional signs will be displayed to warn the delivery vehicles from
the construction site entrance. The construction site entrance will be checked for all the
visibility requirements prior to the site set up works. Any long wheel vehicles entering the
site will be managed with a use of a banksman to maintain a safe entrance or exit.
All suppliers and the sub-contractors will be notified at the time of placing the orders
regarding the traffic management systems.
The traffic management will be set out initially in two stage plan. The first plan is to use the
access from Plymbridge Road for access and egress. This access will be used by only the
construction workers and the material delivery vehicles. The second plan is change the traffic
system into a one way system. The vehicles will enter the construction area via Plymbridge
Road and exit through the new Link Road onto Tavistock Road. This can only be achieved on
completion of the Link Road. Therefore, it is necessary to review the plan during the
construction period to suit the available further options. These changes will be in consultation
with the highway authority to take into account the general traffic volumes in this location.
2. Sub-contractor parking has been identified in the construction area. This area will be shared
with the site waste management facility. All adjacent areas to the compound will be utilised
for material storage. The site forklift and the machinery used by the ground works contractor
must comply with the traffic plan. However, any operations affecting the pre-planned traffic
management should be considered by the site team.
3. Sales visitors and other users visiting the site will be directed through the completed estate
road. This access road will be clearly marked for the site visitors and the residents. In
Plymbridge Road clear road signs will be placed to manage the traffic flow.
4. This traffic management plan will be reviewed and amended during the construction
programme by the site team to ensure a safe traffic management system is in place at all
times. It is important to review the stages of purchaser’s occupation in a methodical sequence
to incorporate a suitable and effective system. Regular coordination between sales
department and the site team during construction should take place to provide detail
information to occupiers and the site visitors.
