Answer Check
Before planning any lifting operations, I would review
the contract programme and short term programmes to
see when lifting operations are required. These items
would also be discussed during the weekly team
meeting or start of shift briefings with all Supervisors.
At this point, I would understand when a lifting
operation is required and also the other interfaces
which may occur if the lifting operation was to take
place on the scheduled date. At this point, the lifting
team, which would consist of the AP, Lift Supervisor
and Slingers, would agree on the best date for the
operation. Once this is agreed, we would obtain details
of the items to be lifted, lifting location and best
possible position for the lifting equipment. This would
be done on site and I would make a sketch at the same
time. We would then review what type of lifting
equipment would be best suited for this operation. I
would use the data sheets of all the cranes, excavators
and other lifting equipment we have in the offices to
make a quick assessment for our requirement. Once
this is agreed, we would speak to our supply chain to
confirm available of the required piece of lifting
equipment and then develop our own lifting schedule.
We would then check that the timescales for procuring
and planning tie into the dates from the contract
programme which would also indicate dates for
procurement, manufacture and delivery of all items
which would require lifting. These interfaces would
then also be agreed with our subcontractors or
supervisors for that particular section of works.
If planning information is not clear, I check Method
Statements and lift plans to ensure I haven’t missed
any details. I will then clarify all i9nformation with
the AP. If any changes are needed, I ensure that the
relevant paperwork is amended and all team
members are briefed.

2.3 Explain the methods and
techniques of identifying
factors that may affect work or
operational planning
2.4 Describe ways of accurately
describing, summarising and
communicating factors about
the proposed works or
operations to people who may
be affected
2.5 Explain the consequences
should factors that affect work
or operational programmes
operational programmes not
be described or summarised
accurately
3.3 Explain different ways of
identifying and establishing
safe access points for works
traffic and pedestrians for
various projects or operations
3.4 Explain methods of confirming
and agreeing works traffic and
pedestrian access and
segregation points for various
projects or operations
3.5 Give reasons for segregating
works traffic and pedestrians
and explain why disruption
must be minimised for various
types of projects or operations
4.3 Explain the different methods
and techniques for confirming
arrangements for site safety,
welfare and security before
work starts and whilst working
on site
members are briefed.
I attend the weekly progress meeting with site
management and from these meeting I can easily
identify factors that may affect work or operational
programmes. I also attend the daily briefing with
Supervisors and operatives of the site where we
discuss in depth work and programmes.

Works could be carried out in the wrong order, at the wrong
time or by the wrong people, leading to safety implications,
extra cost and programme delays
Before works start, a site plan is drawn up with designated
access points for pedestrians and vehicles. A risk assessment is
carried out determining the need for alternative routes. Once
routes are agreed by all parties, the routes will be signed and
fenced to segregate pedestrians from traffic/plant. I actively
enforce the need to segregate all works

I will identify traffic access and egress points by
determining what works are to be carried out,
what is the agreed timescale and what other
works are being carried out around the site.
The weekly coordination meeting will be the
discussion place were all relevant trades will
agree to the traffic management arrangements
and plans will be put in place and a traffic
management plan drawn up. We have a legal
duty to ensure that the safety of pedestrians is
paramount. Disruption is minimized to keep
operations running as smoothly as possible.

projects or operations
6.3 Explain ways of implementing I will identify traffic access and egress points by
site or working area layouts for determining what works are to be carried out, what

6.4 Explain different ways of
communicating site or working the site induction. If a task is to be carried out that is different
area plan information to those to what was briefed in the site induction, then this will be
working on the site or
operations

wastage

I regularly check in advance of an operation starting
what welfare equipment and recourses are required and
after speaking to my works manager I propose
equipment and resources for the given task and get an
answer whether it is available and efficient.
Before any new health, safety or welfare equipment is ordered
for the job, and I have any queries, I will ring up a member of
the Safety department to get their opinion and speak to my
works manager with my proposals and agree an amicable
solution

I ensure the store man knows which materials are
surplus and which are not going to be used again or
less frequently so he can place these materials to the
back to save double handling which over time will
damage the materials. We keep a stock take of all
materials so that when ordering materials we can refer

to the list to save double ordering. We have a policy of
reusing all materials where possible and keeping
decent sized materials even if we think they may not
be used again.
All works are properly planned in the correct
sequence to avoid the machine doing unnecessary
works or double moving, thus using less fuel.
I have gained an SSSTS certificate and we were
taught about signage, the Health and Safety (Safety
Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. These
regulations require employers to provide specific
safety signs wherever there is a risk that has not been
avoided or controlled by other means. I do checks
before works start to ensure that signage is adequate
before works start. The RAMS details where signage
is needed for a particular task and it is my job to
ensure that the RAMS and lift Plan are complied with
This is discussed in detail in the morning meetings, I
regularly discuss what knock on effects our operations
have on other trades.
The programme meeting that I and other key members of the
team attend also goes into depth about time scales of works
