access restrictions and be made aware of ongoing activities. All drivers will be equipped with and wear, if they need to
leave their cabs, a hard hat, safety boots, gloves, eye protection and high visibility clothing.

Delivery of plant to the sites will be coordinated by the haulage contractor with the police and highways department as
appropriate. Delivery of plant by low loader to the site will be at times specified by the police and under escort where
necessary. Delivery of plant to the working areas will be in accordance with the established traffic management system
for the site only.

11 | P a g e
All vehicles entering and leaving the sites will be from the main entrance only. Site and road conditions will be
continuously monitored and adequate facilities will be provided for wheel washing and road cleaning should it be
necessary.

Any mud or debris soiling the public highway from vehicles entering or leaving the site will be immediately cleared away
with minimum disturbance of local residents and the surrounding environment.

Mick George will consider the ongoing use of the adjoining r garage given it will remain in use for a period overlapping
with the demolition work.

Site Management Responsibilities

Due to the nature of demolition and remediation work, all work will be carried out with extreme caution. Vigilance
regarding the structural integrity of the buildings and excavations will be maintained at all times by operatives and Site
Supervisors/Managers. It is imperative that all instructions are clearly communicated and understood. By the very
nature of the works methods, direction of progress, access routes etc., may vary from day to day, hour by hour.

Each day verbal instructions will be issued by the Site Supervisor/Manager to all MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION operatives.
There will be a senior MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION Manager present on site for the duration of the works.

If site visitors from the client or design team require access to the site, these requirements must be directed through
the MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION Site Manager/Supervisor. The MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION Site Manager/Supervisor
will ensure that the necessary arrangements to allow access, and the subsequent implications, are thoroughly

meetings and all with have a say on health and safety. Their views will be anonymous if they want and can be placed in
a box in the site cabin. All health and safety concerns will be passed onto the Demolition Directors and the client.

All sub-contractors on site will be invited to join these meetings. The project manager will be the point of connection
for all parties on site.

Site Induction

12 | P a g e
All employees will be subject to a specific induction prior to commencement of any work on site. Induction will involve
verbal presentation of relevant health and safety matters on site by the MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION Site Manager and
introduction to specific site rules.

Operatives will be made aware of the proximity of any adjacent listed buildings or infrastructure, pedestrian routes,
location of any hazardous materials, location of live services, emergency procedures, location of fire points and 'no-go'
areas i.e., Drop Zones etc.

Site working hours will be: 07.30am – 18.00h Monday to Friday

Toolbox talks will be given to operatives weekly by the Site Manager/Supervisor who will:

• Select a talk that is relevant to current operations.


• Read through the talk and decide on which points are relevant to the workforce.
• Consider any aids that can be used to demonstrate the talk e.g., use of disc cutters - have one available.
• Check the area is safe - e.g., not in a congested work area.
• Keep distractions to a minimum.

MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION has developed a set of site safety rules which have been provided in addition to those
specified by the Client and Principal Designer.

All site rules will be passed to contractor line management so that they may bring these rules to the attention of all
employees and visitors on site as part of the Site Induction. The site induction will be made specific to the site. Issues
such as the basement filled with water and the location of the site.

The induction will be in English. For all non-speaking English operatives, a specialist induction will be conducted 1 to 1.
Mick George will design this in the desired language of the operative. An operative will take a short practically assed
test by the site manager who will deem if the operative is fit to work or not. The operative will then sign the RAMS.

ONCE INDUCTED ALL OPERATIVES WILL RECEIVE A COLOURED STICKER FOR THEIR HELMET.

Mick George will consider the ongoing use of the adjoining residents. All of Mick Georges operatives will be made aware
of the residents nearby.

Risk Assessments

Risk assessments have been prepared which address risk to employees and other persons who may be affected by
activities carried out on MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION sites. Any subsequent Site Specific Risk Assessments and Method
Statements will be retained for the Health and Safety File.

MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION will ensure that all sub-contractors working on site shall have produced their own Risk
Assessments and Method Statements. Information supplied will be vetted and copies will be maintained within the
Site Records.

Substances hazardous to health in the workplace are either materials or products imported into the workplace or
products produced by the processes. MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION will ensure that the exposure of employees to
substances hazardous to health is either prevented or, where this is not reasonably practicable, adequately controlled.

So far as is reasonably practicable, the prevention or adequate control of exposure will be secured by measures other
than personal protective equipment. Where measures taken do not prevent, or provide, adequate control of exposure
then, in addition to taking those measures, MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION will provide employees with, and ensure proper
use of, suitable personal protective equipment that will adequately control their exposure.

13 | P a g e
COSHH Data Sheets/Assessments will be provided for all materials used on site. Operatives shall be trained in the safe,
storage, use and disposal of various materials.

General Health and Safety Rules

The HSE Notification of Project form (F10) will be kept on the sit notice board in accordance with The Flagship Homes
requirements.

MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION has established procedures for monitoring standards on site and compliance with health
and safety legislation and relevant statutory provisions.

On a weekly basis Site Managers/Supervisors will undertake a health and safety inspection and complete a report that
will be kept on site in the Site Records.

MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION operate a series of Daily Checklists, Permits to Work and Inspection Records.

Daily Plant Checklists must be completed by the plant operator and signed off by the site manager before work each
morning. The Subcontractor Supervisor Daily Checklist must be completed by the Supervisor of any Subcontractor
carrying out any activities on site and signed off by the site manager before work each morning. The Site Manager Daily
Checklist must be completed by the Site Manager before work each morning.

Inspection Records should be carried out by competent persons and retained on site in the Site Records.

In addition, external independent monitoring will be undertaken by C&D Consultancy, the company's Health and Safety
Consultant, at a predetermined frequency. Contractors informed of any hazards of defects noted during inspections
will be expected to take immediate remedial action as directed. Site Survey Reports will be retained in the Site Records.

Suppliers of materials will be required to provide product data sheets for health and safety as the basis for COSHH
assessments.

Plant and machinery supplied for common use will be properly selected, maintained and used. MICK GEORGE
DEMOLITION plant operators are trained and certified through the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and
Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS/CCDO); other contractors using plant will be subject to proof of
competence. Statutory inspections, certificates of thorough inspection and tests will be maintained for lifting
appliances and lifting gear and retained in the Site Records.

The site will be a no smoking, eating or drinking area, except for within designated areas or site welfare facilities. The
reason for this will be explained to all personnel during the induction.

Warning signs and notices will be prominently displayed in and around the site.

14 | P a g e
All access routes are to be kept free from obstructions at all times. Debris materials will be continuously cleared to
prevent excessive build up.

Lifting Operations

Prior to any lifting operations being carried out a permit to lift will be put in place. All lifting operations will be carried
out to LOLER 1998.

All shackles will be tested and thorough inspection sheets will be placed within the Mick George site file.

A thorough lifting plan will be produced by Mick George for daily lifting operations such as oxygen packs, Loading and
un-loading of site cabins.

Where Mick George undertake lifting operations involving lifting equipment they will:

 plan lifts properly


 using people who are sufficiently competent ( all operatives to be suitably trained)
 supervise them appropriately
 to ensure that lifts are carried out in a safe manner

LOLER requires that lifting equipment must be of adequate strength and stability. This adds to the general obligations
under PUWER regarding the suitability of work equipment.

Lifting equipment should be positioned or installed in such a way as to reduce the risk, as far as reasonably practicable,
of the equipment or load striking a person, or of the load drifting, falling freely or being unintentionally released.

Where people are being lifted, there are additional requirements to prevent people from being injured in / by the
carrier, including more frequent thorough examinations i.e. Man Baskets.

SITE SPECIFIC DEMOLITION METHOD STATEMENT
Scope of Demolition Works

Methodology – Church Lane and Ermine Street South

Prior to Mick George’s operatives coming to site they will receive a specific induction to the demolition site. They will
be made aware of the residual hazards such as the gable end wall to the residential housing

The method of demolition has been designed in accordance with standard demolition techniques, the Demolition Code
of Practice BS6187:2011. Mick George Demolition will follow the approved codes of practise of BS:6187-2011 in
ensuring that their methodologies follow the approved codes of practise. In addition Mick George will follow the NFDC
guidance notes in relation to exclusion zones, Demolition plant and Demolition of steel framed buildings. All Mick
George operative will adhere to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Prior to coming to site

It is the responsibility of The Client to ensure that any relevant service disconnections including heating, BT, gas,
electricity and water to the buildings within the scope of works have been disconnected and severed and that Mick George
Demolition are issued with written confirmation of disconnections .Mick George Demolition are working with the client
to achieve the service dis-connections and will store all certificates on site in the site file.

Mick George Demolition will be provided with a services removal permit prior to any demolition works commencing
and the building sign off document.

Each area and the surrounding area will be CAT scanned by Mick George prior to work commencing; if any remaining
live services are identified Mick George will inform the client site representative and take the relevant precautions
necessary to ensure safety to operatives and the public. A trained street works operative will be operating the Cat Scanner.

If an unmarked service is found, work will be stopped immediately and the near miss reported to the client.

Note: No excavations works will take place before the necessary isolations have been carried out and certification
issued.

A copy of the Programme indicating Services disconnections can be found within the clients site file.

Separation

Mick George will put in place crowd barriers in order to separate the pedestrians/vehicles from the live working
machines on site.

An example of the crowd


barrier to be used to offer
separation.

SOFT STRIP

Soft strip works will be carried out to the buildings. Exclusion areas for removal zones will be denoted by using heras
panels as required for the exit of materials from the buildings. Waste skips will be positioned adjacent to the work area
and will be loaded by the means of a 360-degree excavator with selector-grab attachment.

All Insulation, plasterboard, wood and Windows will be loaded into skips located on the driveway locations as indicated
on the Site Plan located in the office.

Demolition work will be carried out using the techniques from BS 61872011 Code of Practice for Demolition

An internal soft strip of the former building will be carried out by Mick George’s CCDO demolition operatives to remove
as much of the waste materials from the building ahead of the demolition works. Materials that are to be removed by
the internal soft strip are doors, door frames, fixed and non-fixed furniture, carpets and floor coverings and other
materials. Operatives will strip out all doors, frames, windows, timber of any description, (not appertaining to roof or
main structure) toilets, pipe work, ducting, electrical items and any debris. Any clean, unpainted constructional timber
will be segregated from the general waste. Where this material is free of nails, screws, hinges etc it will be segregated
for recycling by Mick George and taken to the appropriate re-processing plant as per the Mick George’s Environmental
policy. Any materials deemed as not suitable for recycling will be removed from site in skips as controlled waste to an
appropriately licensed landfill site. Where possible the materials will be loaded by hand selector grab into skips and
removed from the site. At no times shall operatives gain access to partially demolished or unsafe buildings to recover
soft stripped materials, these materials will be removed by mechanical means and when safe to do so by hand method.
All soft stripped materials will be processed and segregated into individual waste/recycling streams. All materials
deemed suitable for recycling will be loaded into suitable skips and transferred from the site to a suitable recycling
venue. All waste materials unsuitable for recycling will be transported from the site where it will be taken to landfill
facilities.

The demolition contractor will use the following tools during the soft strip: Mattock, genie bars and hammers.

An example of a Mattock to be
used by Demolition
operatives.

The windows will be removed out of the building once an exclusion zone has been put in place. All operatives will be
aware of this exclusion zone and the skip will be placed adjacent to the building. The windows will be placed in the skips.
This will be done as per NFDC code of practise with the Mick George’s bankman in communication with two way radios.

32 | P a g e
Mick George will segregate all waste materials into different 40 yard cubic skips. Glass, wood and gypsum board will be
placed into different skips that will be clearly de-marcated and taken off to their relevant re-processing plants.

40 yard cubic skips will be on


site for loading of demolition
materials

On the left is an example of a

Machine Demolition

The 360 excavator operators will be certificated, skilled and very experienced with this method of demolition.

A Banksman, in radio contact with the 360° excavator operator, will stand at a safe distance (6 metres) to guide and
help control the demolition process. The 35T 360 excavator will be located outside the drop zone to prevent damage
or injury from falling debris.

The demolition operation will be executed in a controlled manner, ensuring the section being sheared is not excessive
in size and weight. Where possible, complete elements (columns, panels) will be lifted down to ground level, in the jaws
of the cruncher, where they can be processed more efficiently.

Floor levels will be continuously cleared to prevent overloading of the slab and external walls.

Materials will be deposited to ground level within the designated drop zone. Hardcore bunds will be created with the
debris arising to control the spread of demolition debris at ground level.

Steel reinforcement will be separated from the concrete elements using the jaws of the hydraulic cruncher.

Excavators
The majority of demolition and processing activities will be facilitated by a 35-ton excavator, fitted with an automatic
quick coupler system, which allows hydraulic work tools to be connected and disconnected from the drivers cab. The
operator can change between various work tools within a few seconds, such as a shear, plate shear, concrete cracker,
concrete pulveriser, concrete pincer, hydraulic breaker, tine grab, crusher bucket, standard bucket, sorting grab, clam
shell bucket, hydraulic magnet and rotary screener.

DUST SUPPRESSION FOR WORKS IN ALL AREAS COVERED BY THIS METHOD STATEMENT

Dust levels will be monitored and suppressed with the use of hoses and fire hydrants. The water supply will be from
metered standpipes fitted with non-return valves (RPZ) at point of connection to the water supply, from the fire
hydrants within the vicinity of our works.

Attached to the standpipe will be a section of hose with a non-return valve on. This is then to be used to supply the
water spray hoses. Fire and pressure lances will be utilised where required .

The direction of wind is to be taken into consideration to achieve best placement and a cloud of water droplets is to
cover the area of immediate work to suppress dust. Care is to be taken that the area is not over damped to the point
where run off may happen.

Should water run off be a potential issue, bunds/ trenches are to be formed to allow natural soak away of the water.

Should point accuracy of water damping be required, such as lorry loading, a second hose pipe is to be utilized.

The dust boss will cause no impact to the adjacent residents.

example of a dust boss. This will be
aimed at the specific area of
demolition where the machine is
working in order to minimise dust.

VIBRATION

Plant and equipment to be utilised for the work operations is selected to keep workers’ exposure to vibration to an
absolute minimum. Technical data on vibration levels for each item of plant or equipment will be provided where
exposure levels exceed 2.5m/s² on a regular basis. A programme of preventative measures and health surveillance is to
be implemented. Time limits for daily usage of plant and equipment shall be adhered to and should any operative suffer
from blanching, tingling or numbness of the fingers or any problems with the muscles or joints of the hands or arms,
then they will stop work and report immediately to their supervisor.

Mick George will keep record of all operatives using vibration tools which will include times spent each shift using this
equipment

One of the major concerns of both developers and local community is the dust and vibration that can be produced when
Demolition is being undertaken. But for the purposes of this contract the Mick George will install vibration, dust and

35 | P a g e
noise monitors throughout the area and surrounding areas of the Demolition. These monitors will set out levels which
are acceptable for these three control measures. If the levels are exceeded the monitors will set off the trigger alarm
and the client will need to be immediately informed. If any trigger levels are exceeded the work will cease and the client
and Mick George will review and amend any working procedures. This is to be strictly adhered to in this contract.

Mick George have had discussion with their Consultants C&D in relation to dust, noise and background air monitoring
at this stage.

An environmental strategy will need to be put into place and will be approved by Mick George’s own environmental
consultant prior to commencement of demolition.

Mick George will liase with the client and C&D prior to demolition and will agree on fixed points around the site for
monitoring. They will agree on a exposure level for the operatives and the local community. Mick George will monitor
this on a daily basis. C&D will audit the site monthly.

On the left is an example of


the vibration monitor to be
placed around site.

NOISE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

The plant and equipment to be utilised for the work has been selected so as to keep the noise levels to an
absolute minimum. However, should noise levels exceed 80dB (A) then appropriate hearing protection will be worn by
all personnel within the vicinity of the works and the noise levels monitored on a regular basis.

As with the vibration monitoring Mick George will also audit and monitor noise from a mobile handheld monitor. This
will be done on a daily basis when demolition plant or tools are being used.

The noise at work regulations require that no person shall be exposed to noise levels which are likely to lead to long
term hearing loss.

Lower exposure action level 80db(A)

Upper exposure action level 85db(A)

All Mick George’s Operatives will wear hard hat mounted ear protectors.

Environmental pollution will be kept to an absolute minimum and damping down will be carried out as required by site
conditions. Mick George ‘s operatives will only park plant and re-fuel in the designated area which has been agreed as
being the site compound area.

36 | P a g e
Mick George aim that all waste materials on site will be either re-cycled or re-processed for further use. Segregated
bins will be placed on site for each type of waste. Overall as per Mick George’s Environmental policy Mick George aim
for 95% recycled waste on each job, however our desire is to achieve closer to 97%.

Slab & Foundation removal at Church Lane/Ermine Road South


Once all the buildings have been demolished to ground level and all materials removed from site, the client will inspect
the area, confirm that all underground services have been terminated and issue a permit to dig. On receipt of that
permit to dig work will commence with the breaking and removal of the floor slabs and foundations. A series of holes
will firstly be punched through the slab in order to allow the machine to lift and break the materials.

The excavator will remove the shear and will be replaced by a fully hydraulic hammer this hammer will break the floor
out to enable the ne machine with bucket to lift the slab from the former building in able for it to be further processed.

Once broken the slab will be loaded onto the site dump truck and will be removed to the stockpile area this stockpile
are will be filled with concrete and bricks from the buildings and will be taken to a processing site for further processed
by use of crusher.

The machine will then break foundations into small manageable sections using the pneumatic hammer whilst a second
machine lifts and munches the materials into smaller sections.

ALL ARISINGS WILL BE TAKEN OFF SITE TO A RE-PROCESSING SITE.

But for the purposes of this contract the demolition contractor will install vibration, dust and noise monitors throughout
the area and surrounding areas of the Demolition. These monitors will set out levels which are acceptable for these
three control measures. If the levels are exceeded the monitors will set off the trigger alarm and the client will need to
be immediately informed. If any trigger levels are exceeded the work will cease and Mick George will review and amend
any working procedures. This is to be strictly adhered to in this contract.

An environmental strategy will need to be put into place for this contract and approved by Mick George own
environmental consultant prior to commencement of demolition.

Mick George will agree on fixed points around the site for monitoring. They will agree on a exposure level for the
operatives and the local community.

Care is to be taken when removing foundations next to the footpath to ensure that damage to the pavement is
minimised. Edge of pavement to be supported using crushed demolition arisings where site level is below pavement
level to retain the edge of the footpath on a temporary basis. This will be added to Mick George’s temporary works
register.

Excavations (Reduce Level Dig to remove asbestos soils) for Church Lane/Ermine Street South

The method of demolition has been designed in accordance with standard demolition techniques, the Demolition
Code of Practice BS6187:2011

• The site investigation will establish the engineering properties of the ground on which the structure will be
founded and provide details on bearing capacity. This information will be communicated to Mick George.

• If the site investigation identifies any contamination of the ground from previous industrial uses, details of this
will be given to the Mick George.

• Provide utility services drawings showing the location of any buried services.

• Where work has to be undertaken close by or beneath overhead lines, enquires will be made with the line
operator to establish whether the line can be made dead or diverted. Where lines remain live ensure that plant is
selected or modified so that it cannot reach the lines. Mick George are to comply with guidance note GS 6
‘Avoidance of danger from overhead power lines’.

Attendances

Prior to any work taking place on site the Mick George will: -

• Use cable detection tools to accurately identify service locations on the ground and mark same.

METHOD 1.1

Preparation
Floor isolation

Demolition operatives will erect localised barriers at the floor level to ensure that the area where the Asbestos removal
is being carried out it will be fully isolated from other site personnel. We will erect specific warning signage and also
exclusion zone signage.

45 | P a g e
An example of a
Demolition warning sign.

Once these localised barriers have been erected we will ensure that the clips have been fitted to prevent any
unauthorised removal of the panels. A tool box talks will be given to all other operatives and we will inform the site
management that this area will be classed as an exclusion zone and no entry is allowed unless authorised personal.

Areas of Asbestos Cement Sheet removal will be completely cordoned off and no other operatives will be allowed within
the building area while this works is being carried out.

46 | P a g e
Pre Asbestos works

Mick George will submit a ASB NNLW1 - Notification of non-licensed work with asbestos prior to any
asbestos being removed.

Operatives will seal the area, erect warning signs and ensure no operatives enter the area.

Asbestos Sheets are of low intensity and therefore we will be carrying out the works under non-notifiable
operation. Operatives are all trained Category B Operatives and prior to commencement will be face-fitted and
have appropriate medicals.

All certificates will be within the site File.

We will also bring to site a H-VAC, Water spray, PVA, CAT 3 types 5&6 overalls and also all operatives will
wear their face fitted P3 ori-nasal mask.

Workforce

All operatives have been trained and have received a CAT B asbestos removal asbestos removal and training to ensure
that they have the right qualifications to remove the asbestos.

Fire

Mick George Demolition are work for the client as Asbestos Contractor and all fire emergency routes are located within
the site office for inspection. All operatives will have a toolbox talks and tasks specific training regarding fire and
emergency procedures. Fire routes and extinguishers are located on each floor.

Removal

All asbestos removal once the materials have been bagged will be placed into a sealed ad lockable container and
removed to a licensed tip under the consignment note policy.

Competency

All Mick George operatives have been face fitted and have NNLW category training. Certificates are located within the
site file.

Un-Discovered Asbestos

48 | P a g e
If any suspected asbestos is discovered Mick George will immediately stop works within this area and will send the area
of to be tested.

If the results are positive the Mick George will make provisions and notify these area’s on a NNLW or ASB5.

Licenced Waste

Mick George will remove all asbestos in controlled conditions as advised in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
All waste will be sealed n approved bags and swan necked before being placed into an asbestos skip. The skip will then
be taken to a fully licenced site with all tickets being kept on site for waste data.

3rd Part Monitoring

For this contract Mick George will ask their 3rd party health and safety advisors to come and audit/environmentally
monitor this site to all protocols from the Health and Safety executive and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Specific Asbestos Sheet Removal

Prior to commencement we will ensure all operatives are fully trained, face fitted and are up to speed with the
NNLW regulations.

The supervisor will ensure that Asbestos expose sheets are completed throughout the operation including all
associated risks.

Air horns and two way radios will also be placed within the area that the Asbestos Sheets are being removed
from as a further fire precaution. All emergency procedures will be discussed prior to commencement and we
will follow the Clients and Mick George’s emergency procedures.

Operatives who will have the correct PPE, RPE will enter the enclosure ensuring that they have a water spray
with approved PVA, H-Vac with test certificate and also appropriate Asbestos bags.

In addition, we will use a surfactant which we will spray onto the Asbestos Sheets to enable it to be released
from its in-situ position. The surfactant which is a chemical agent that wets and releases the asbestos will
either be sprayed on or painted onto the ceiling.

Mick George’s operatives will use a MEWP or other access equipment to reach and unbolt the cement sheet.

Mick George’s operatives are fully CAT B trained and will be wearing the correct PPE. Operatives will not cut
or release and fibres from the Asbestos cement sheets. The sheets will be put whole into an asbestos bag
before being placed in a lockable and fully covered skip. Ensuring the asbestos bag is not over filled we will
then place it into the clear bag and again swan neck the top of the bag for later disposal. This operation will
continue until all the asbestos cement sheets have been removed.

It is imperative that we do not over spray the sheets to ensure that it does not become wet and extremely
runny. We want the material to be wet, easily manageable and be able to lift off easily to keep the asbestos
within its bonded properties.

Once all the materials have been completely removed the area will be vacuumed and cleaned with damp
cloths. All damp cloths will be bagged as previously described. After this operation the area again will be wiped
down with damped cloths and hovered using an approved H-vac.

After the operation has been completed operatives will de-contaminate in accordance with NNLW regulations
and as per asbestos essentials a14. The operative’s overalls will be placed into the asbestos bags as previously
described after they have H-vac and also patting down with damp cloths.

Air Tests
To ensure that there is no fibre release and we do not exceed the control level of 0.1 fibres/per cm3. We will
employ an independent Asbestos surveyor to carryout both reassurance and background monitoring.

55 | P a g e
The locations of the Asbestos are low intensity throughout the building. Therefore we intend to carry out
background monitoring and reassurance tests throughout the operation of the non-notifiable removal.

Associated Risk assessments

In relation to the Asbestos removal we do not envisage that the operations will exceed current noise exposure
levels of 85dba. There is no mechanical use of equipment and therefore hand arm vibration will not require
any exposure sheets or risk assessments. We have identified that we are only removing the asbestos from the
areas which is controlled via the control of Asbestos Regs 2012. It will not require an assessment of COSHH.

The manual handling will be extremely low as the materials are lightweight even after they have been wetted
down. However prior to commencing operatives will receive a manual handling training course by C&D
Consultancy and we will use TILE ( Task, Individual, Load and environment)

SITE SPECIFIC REMEDIATION METHOD STATEMENT
Scope of Remediation Works

The remedial and ground preparatory works generally comprise removal of invasive plant species (Japanese Knotweed
/ Himalayan Balsam, removal of hardstanding and below ground obstructions, crushing of oversize hard materials,
removal of physically unsuitable materials and remediation of any chemically unsuitable materials as follows:

• Confirm isolation and termination of live services beneath ground level.


• Break and lift area of hardstanding to stockpile.
• Turnover Made Ground to remove underground obstructions to a specified depth.
• Crushing of hard materials.
• Co-ordinated remediation of physically and/or chemically unsuitable materials.
• Finish site to pre-agreed levels and surface types.

Movement of Site Vehicles

Only site plant will be allowed on-site. All other vehicles are to be parked within the designated parking area. All vehicles
entering site are to report to the site office where they will be directed accordingly onto site.

All site plant are to operate flashing beacons and observe the mandatory site speed limit of 10mph. All wagons are to
be sheeted over before leaving site. A traffic management plan will be maintained on site. As works progress across
site this traffic management system will be augmented and communicated to drivers. Signage and fencing will also be
used to confirm the traffic management system on-site.

Wagons will be directed to loading/unloading areas and will be loaded under supervision of a CSCS trained operative
who following completion of loading will inspect the tipper body sides to ensure that they are free of loose debris. Once
the wagon has driven off, any debris on the floor will be carefully cleared away. Wagons will then be sheeted before
leaving site. At no times are wagons to drive across site with their tipper body up.

Consignment/Waste transfer notes will be kept for materials collected or imported to site.

Where operatives (CSCS trained only) are required to work in the vicinity of site plant, they must be familiar with risk
assessments and method statements for working with the various plant found on site. At all times, operatives on the
ground must make sure that plant operatives are aware of their whereabouts and eye contact and confirmatory
signalling or verbal communication is obtained before crossing the path of or working near to moving plant

More detailed control measures are presented in the Risk Assessment for Site Traffic.

Maintenance of Road Cleanliness

All vehicles travelling across site will not exceed the 10mph speed limit and will be inspected for debris and cleaned
down before exiting site. Once loaded, the loading area will be inspected for debris and any loose materials will be
swept up and placed back within the excavation area.

63 | P a g e
Where possible wagons to be loaded on existing hard standing and not in a location where they track over already
remediated soils to reach loading area. Use of temporary haul roads to be assessed based on condition of existing
ground.

Should debris become an issue on public roads then a mobile sweeper will be deployed to clean roads and if this is not
effective then a static wheel wash facility will be deployed to the site.

During the operation of the site, a water bowser or similar will be regularly used to dampen down site haul roads to
ensure that dust generation (general dust) does not become an issue.

General Excavation Works

Prior to commencement of the works, the Site Manager/Supervisor will scan the proposed excavation areas for the
location of live services. Mechanical excavators MUST NOT be used within the following distances from live gas mains:
Low Pressure 0.5m, Medium Pressure 0.5m, Intermediate Pressure 3.0m. Mechanical excavators may only be used to
remove or break hardstanding above other known live services. Hand dug pits shall be carefully excavated when
required to locate underground services.

All excavations below 1.2m depth are to have adequate 45° batters are to be maintained where possible. Any deep
excavations are to be temporarily fenced off over night. Where it is not possible to maintain a batter, access is to be
restricted by fencing. Entry into confined spaces is strictly prohibited. More detailed control measures are presented in
the Risk Assessments for Excavators and Excavations.

Materials suspected of being contaminated will be separated and stockpiled for further testing. Like materials to be
kept together and or stockpiled for future re-use i.e., disposal treatment, crushing etc. More detailed control measures
are presented in the Risk Assessments for Potentially Contaminated Soils, Hydrocarbons in Soils and Asbestos in Soils.

Potentially Contaminated Land

Commonly occurring soil contamination found on brownfield sites can include: heavy metals, hydrocarbons, asbestos
and ground gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane. There may also be a risk from sharps and needles and
Leptospirosis from rat urine.

Impacted soils may be retained within remediated sites although conditions such as placement beneath proposed hard
covered areas or beneath clean cover systems usually apply. Potential contaminants at these concentrations can pose
a risk to workers involved in the remediation of brownfield land where they can be inhaled, ingested or absorbed
through the skin. Care should be taken when workers are exposed to soils containing potential contaminants at
concentrations above the guidance threshold values for a domestic garden end use.

Although workers will only be exposed to the potentially contaminated soil for a relatively short time, the contaminants
represent a risk, and simple precautionary measures are required for heavy metals, i.e., good personal hygiene and
basic personnel protective equipment. Damping down of soils may be required to mitigate the release of potential
airborne contaminants.

In addition to the above, the atmosphere in shored trenches in excess of 1.2m should be monitored for oxygen and
hazardous gas (methane & carbon dioxide), prior to personnel entering such excavations. Monitoring should continue
whilst personnel are working in deep excavations.

Where odours are detected a Photoionization Detector (PID) will be used to assess the concentration of potential
volatile/semi-volatile organic compounds.

Potentially impacted soils shall be excavated for further analysis and placed in bunded areas on hardstanding or on high
gauge plastic sheeting where hardstanding is in poor condition or not present (to prevent run-off, infiltration and

64 | P a g e
migration through underlying soils). Odorous stockpiles should be covered with plastic sheeting to reduce the emission
of odours.

Site access has been limited but there is potential of unauthorised access and as such, thorough visual inspection will
be carried out for syringes and other drug paraphernalia. For detailed control measures and methods of dealing with
needles see the MICK GEORGE DEMOLITION Risk Assessment for Handling and Disposing of Needles.

Further reference should be made to the Method Statements and Risk Assessments for Potentially Contaminated Soils,
Hydrocarbons in Soils, Asbestos in Soils, Handling and Disposal of Needles and Leptospirosis.

Breaking out of Slabs and Foundations

Breaking out of slabs and foundations may require control measures to manage dust generation such as dust
suppression. See Dust Suppression below.

Some areas of slabs and structures may be of such a size and construction that they can simply lifted by an excavator.
Slabs which can only be excavated by use of a hydraulic hammer will be punctured at circa 1-2m centres. Following this,
materials will be carefully lifted with supervision where necessary.

These materials will be loaded into dumpers & stockpiled separately for crushing.

Whilst breaking out slabs/relic foundations no person is to enter the deep excavations.

Mechanical excavators (including breaker attachments) MUST NOT be used within the following distances from live gas
mains: Low Pressure 0.5m, Medium Pressure 0.5m, Intermediate Pressure 3.0m. Mechanical excavators may only be
used to lift hardstanding above other known live services.

Dust Suppression

During works a tractor/bowser, or mobile power washer (or similar) can be used on site when necessary, to undertake
general damping down of soils and wetting down of concrete hardstand and demolition areas. This will also be used to
damp down concrete stockpiles prior to crushing where required or crush haul roads.

If, during the excavation and/or demolition, this method of damping down is ineffective consideration is to be given to
the use of a specialist trailer mounted water misting system.

Operatives that may be directly exposed to dust with the potential of containing loose asbestos fibres shall be equipped
with Personal Asbestos Air Monitoring Equipment and PP3 Compliant Masks (face fitted).
Dust Monitoring

Visual and olfactory assessment of dust will be carried out continuously at all site boundaries throughout the works. In
the event of unacceptable levels of dust then damping down and/or covering stockpiles shall be undertaken.

Dust monitoring will be carried out at the middle of each site boundary around the site perimeter three times per day.

Dust levels will be measured using a Casella real time dust monitor.

For each round of monitoring the site manager will keep a record of the activities being undertaken on site and
meteorological conditions in the “Notes” Section of his Daily Site Records Sheets. A record of air temperature (°C), wind
speed (Calm, Moderate or Strong) Wind Direction and precipitation along with a description of any odour, its intensity
and persistence will be made.

At all times, excavated materials will be stored in sealed and maintained stockpiles.

If a complaint is received, the Site Manager must contact Head Office (01925 756 033) immediately. Contact details will
be taken and an assessment of site records will be made to see if the complaint correlates with any monitoring/recorded
events. A follow up call and/or email will be made at the earliest opportunity to discuss the incident along with any
subsequent control measures taken.

Odour Monitoring and Control

Olfactory assessment of odours will be carried out at the middle of each site boundary around the site perimeter three
times per day.

For each round of monitoring the site manager will keep a record of the activities being undertaken on site and
meteorological conditions in the “Notes” Section of his Daily Site Records Sheets. A record of air temperature (°C), wind
speed (Calm, Moderate or Strong) Wind Direction and precipitation along with a description of any odour, its intensity
and persistence will be made. If an odour is detected during monitoring, its proximity in relation to the working area
will be noted in the Daily Site Record along with any additional requirements.

Odour levels will be qualitatively assessed as either: None, Low, Moderate and Unacceptable. When even low odour
levels are detected, work in the area where the odour is emanating from will stop until the issue has been resolved.

Odour control measures will comprise:

• Damping down and/or covering stockpiles.


• At all times, excavated materials will be stored in sealed and maintained stockpiles.
• Stockpiles that contain waste materials will be centrally located within the site.
• Excavations will be carried out in a controlled manner so that only small areas of the site are disturbed
at any given time. This will enable control measures to be implemented quickly and efficiently.
• Where particularly odorous materials are encountered, work in these areas will not proceed until
provisions are made for the immediate removal of these materials from site. Otherwise, other control
measures such as using deodorising additives in the misting unit must be considered.

If a complaint is received, the Site Manager must contact Head Office (01215724832) immediately. Contact details will
be taken and an assessment of site records will be made to see if the complaint correlates with any monitoring/recorded
events. A follow up call and/or email will be made at the earliest opportunity to discuss the incident along with any
subsequent control measures taken.

Noise Control

Work processes and machinery are selected to reduce the exposure to noise. All plant and machinery will have
information provided by the supplier of the assessed operational noise levels.

Site managers will regularly monitor all noisy activities to ensure control measures are adhered to. Where noise levels
are suspected to be above the lower exposure action level of 80dB, action should be taken for a competent person using
noise measuring equipment, to carry out an assessment and implement any necessary procedures to reduce the
exposure to noise.

Noisy activities will not be carried out close to the site boundary where the potential for nuisance noise levels to local
residents will be higher. Where possible, stockpiled soils may be placed to act as noise bunds, where noisy activities are
screened and the potential for nuisance noise levels to local residents can be reduced.

66 | P a g e
Ear protection zones may be put in place around noisy activities. Ear protection must be provided for operatives where
noise levels reach the lower exposure action level of 80dB. Ear protection must be worn by operatives exposed to noise
levels that reach the upper exposure action level of 85dB. Exposure levels must not exceed 87dB.

Ear protection must be capable of being used correctly with other items of PPE such as safety helmets and eye
protection. Ear protection must be worn when required by a work activities specific risk assessment and method
statement.

Work on site is strictly limited to the working hours permitted by the Local Authority. 07.30am -18.00pm

If a complaint is received, the Site Manager must contact Head Office immediately. Contact details will be taken and an
assessment of site records will be made to see if the complaint correlates with any monitoring/recorded events. A
follow up call and/or email will be made at the earliest opportunity to discuss the incident along with any subsequent
control measures taken.

Prevention of Surface Runoff

The potential for surface water runoff will be assessed with respect to the existing site topography. Where deemed
necessary a cut off trench and/or bund will be constructed using the excavator. The trench will be profiled to channel
water to a suitable location within the site.

Daily inspection of the trench/bund will be undertaken by the site supervisor, in particular during days of heavy rainfall,
to ensure the integrity of the system. Appropriate action to be taken to ensure channel is free flowing and the bund
remains intact. During works consideration is to be given when relocating stockpiles in relation to cut off trenches and
bund.
