2.3.1.3 Action Required To Implement This Procedure GENERAL At Tender stage the Estimator will review the Pre-Tender Safety Information provided and instigate the production of a Project Specific Risk Register, which will identify Risk including safety risks associated with the proposed works.
2
Details of the risks identified and any measures included on the risk register will be included in the enquiry documents produced for contractor’s works.
3
Allowances should be made in the settled tender for arrangements to control these risks during the Construction Phase of the project.
4
At the start of the Construction Phase, the Project/Site Manager will review the risk register and project program and produce a schedule of activities which will be used as a basis for ensuring that all elements of the construction process are identified and considered for Risk Assessment.
5
Using the schedule the Project/Site Manager will ensure a suitable Risk Assessment is produced which will identify whether a Method Statement is required as part of the control measures.
6
For Facility Service or Customer Care works the Area Manager or Customer Care Manager will produce a schedule of activities undertaken on a regular basis by operatives working on this type of work. A Risk Assessment will be undertaken and where it is identified that the hazards can be controlled without the need of a full Method Statement he will indicate that the operation be subject to a Risk Identification and Control Statement (TRICS) and the procedure in 3.4 will be followed.
ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY COMPANY 7
Before carrying out any activity undertaken by direct COMPANY employees, the Project/Area/Site Manager for the workplace/operation/ design concerned shall first produce/review the Risks Assessment Schedule with the intention of identifying where hazard and risk could arise. This should include discussion with the people undertaking the work, if appropriate. It should be remembered that a risk could be seen as minimal but by further work processes could become significant. Such as painting outside to painting in a confined space.
8
Following this review a specific Risk Assessment using SHE-FRM-1-02 shall be undertaken by a Competent Person appointed by the Project/Area/Site Manager.
9
Where young persons or expectant mothers are involved in the activity, additional concerns may be required. Advice should be sought from the HR Team.
10
Where identified in the Risk Assessment the Competent Person in conjunction with any other relevant person will: (a)
prepare a Method Statement taking account of the following: (i)

(iv)
Circulate the Method Statement utilising the tracking and content sheet SHEFRM-1-04.
Take account of comments received from other parties and re-circulate Risk Assessment and Method Statement to those people to ensure issues raised have been dealt with adequately.
(c)
Following agreement of the suitability of the Risk Assessment and Method Statement by the Project/Site Manager, ensure it is issued to relevant management/supervision.
(d)
Monitor performance against the Risk Assessment and Method Statement and identify and make any necessary changes The Risk Assessments produced shall be used, where appropriate, as the basis for COMPANY personnel checking the contents of sub or work package contractors’ safety method statements.
(e)
The Risk Assessment and Method Statement shall be briefed to ensure that the detail is communicated to all relevant Operatives and carry out a reality check to confirm understanding of key aspects.
ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY CONTRACTORS 11
The Project/Site Manager must ensure contractors have been procured via COMPANY Contractor Assessment procedure.
12
Before carrying out any activity undertaken by sub-contract employees the Contractors Responsible Person shall first undertake a risk assessment taking into account the hazards associated with the work this should include, if appropriate, discussion with the people undertaking the work, and COMPANY Management.
13
The Risk Assessments produced shall be used, where appropriate, as the basis for COMPANY personnel checking the contents of sub or work package contractors’ safety method statements.
14
Where identified in the Risk Assessment the Contractors Responsible Person will prepare a Method Statement taking account of the following: (a)
The controls identified in the Risk Assessment.
(b)
All relevant Safety, Health, Environmental (SHE) matters.
(c)
The headings, as a minimum, indicated in SHE-FRM-1-03 & 1-04 (Note: the use of the COMPANY format Risk Assessment and Method Statement templates may be suggested to the Sub-Work Package Contractor for work carried out on projects and locations under COMPANY control).
15
The Project/Site Manager will review the Risk Assessment and Method Statement produced using the tracking and content sheet SHE-FRM-1-04. Circulating to relevant parties as required. Following the review he will take account of comments received from other parties and re-circulate Risk Assessment and Method Statement to those people to ensure issues raised have been dealt with adequately.

16
Following agreement of the suitability of the Risk Assessment and Method Statement, the Project/Site Manager will issue it to relevant COMPANY Management/Supervisor who will then ensure that the contractor’s supervisor gives a briefing of the Risk Assessment and Method Statement so that the detail is communicated to all relevant operatives.
17
The Project/Site Manager or Supervisor will monitor performance against the Risk Assessment and Method Statement and identify and communicate any suggested changes. In cases where any significant changes to the system of work are necessary, activities must be stopped so that the changes to be made are re-assessed and approved. Where appropriate, following any revision, the checking process should be repeated.
TASK RISK IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL STATEMENT (TRICS) The TRICS SHE-FRM-1-05 should be completed prior to commencement of works by the Appropriate Line Manager. Where this is not possible or practicable, the individual tradesman undertaking the task should complete the task assessment. The TRICS format is only to be used after an assessment has been made by the relevant Manager and the need to produce a Method Statement for the works has been eliminated.
19
Should the initial TRICS being completed by the tradesman reveal that other assessments (e.g. Manual Handling/Noise) are required the risk assessment guides should be used to develop a safe system of work. Should the safety requirements of the job still not be met then the individual Line Manager shall be contacted immediately.
RECORDS AND MONITORING OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT 20
The Project/Site Manager should maintain up to date current Risk Assessment records so that any significant change to a activity requiring the Risk Assessment to be re-evaluated can be controlled. The need for review will depend upon the level of risk and the significance of the change.
21
Where appropriate to the activity the SHE Advisor for the project will monitor performance and identify any necessary changes by inspection and/or audit.
2.3.1.4 Guidance To This Procedure RISK ASSESSMENTS 1
All Contractors and self-employed persons are required to make suitable and sufficient Risk Assessment of work activities to be undertaken. A record of the significant findings of Risk Assessments must be kept. This record shall state the hazards and risks and the controls needed to reduce the risks to an acceptable level. The controls shall then be implemented by management to protect health and safety and the environment.
2
Where Risk Assessments are required to be carried out under particular sections of the Qatar Regulatory Document (Construction), COSHH, Noise, Asbestos and Lead etc. a repeat assessment is not required unless other elements of the work demand assessment in their own right (e.g. painting at height may require a COSHH Assessment for the paint as well as an assessment of the risk of working at height or damage to a watercourse due to spillage).
3
Where an assessment identifies the likelihood of an adverse health condition or identifiable disease being contracted, then health surveillance may be required. In all such cases the advice of the SHE Team shall be sought.
QCS 2010

QCS 2010 4
Section 11
Part 2
SAMAS
Page 13
On completion of a Risk Assessment the record shall then be used to supply the following information to the relevant persons at risk: (a)
Hazard/risk/impacts
(b)
Preventative and protective measures
(c)
Emergency procedures
(d)
Name of emergency wardens or incident controllers
(e)
Instruction and training to carry out the work safely
All activities undertaken under the Risk Assessment (and controls therein) shall be monitored to ensure that the assessment is both suitable and sufficient and is being worked to.
6
Any changes in work must be notified to the competent person who has developed the Risk Assessment and must result in a review of the assessment and if necessary a revised assessment produced.
METHOD STATEMENTS 7
Method Statements serve the important function of detailing the controls for activities where risks have been identified by a specific Risk Assessment. It needs to demonstrate the thought process and logic that has been developed to arrive at the controls. Method Statements shall be explained by the appropriate Supervisor to the workforce prior to the execution of the work. Method Statements are required for all high or significant risk activities that have been identified by a Risk Assessment. Method Statements are not normally required for low risk activities. A sample format has been included in SHE-FRM-1-03
USE OF RISK ASSESSMENT GUIDES 8
It is a legal requirement to carry out and record Risk Assessments where significant risk is identified. Therefore, to assist management in collecting the necessary information, a number of Risk Assessment Guides have been produced. These Guides cover the main hazards and risks associated with COMPANY’s most commonly encountered activities together with details of possible control methods for consideration. It shall be understood that the Risk Assessment Guides cover common and general issues not the specific issues applicable to any particular work activity or location. They are an aid only and shall not be used unmodified as an activity specific Risk Assessment.
