Traditionally painters were exposed to many harsh chemicals in their routine working life, as well as asbestos containing materials and silica that are part of the fabric of many buildings. Over the last 20 years or so the technology in the paint industry has seen a shift to water based and less hazardous products, as well as less hazardous cleaners and thinners.
As a result of past long term use of hazardous substances, the death rate among painters from lung and bladder cancer stands at about 335 a year. Unfortunately, there is insufficient evidence to correctly identify specifically, which products caused the reported cancers
If we move on from occupational diseases and look at site accidents we find that roofing, and painting and decorating are particularly high risk trades within the construction sector for falls from height, with most of the falls been off ladders.
Alongside this we have same level slips, trips and falls, eye injuries and musculoskeletal injuries.
Legal requirements are a company H&S policy if you employ more than five people, Risk assessments for all tasks carried out and COSHH assessments for all substances used. Method statements, training records, and policies such as equality and diversity are not a legal requirement, but are often requested by principal contractors or CDM management teams.
In this H&S package there are risk assessments, method statements and COSHH assessments but no company health and safety policy because this is a stand alone document and not part of the RAMS.
The reason a company H&S policy is different from RAMS is because RAMS cover site specific risks that relate to a specific job or contract, and a company H&S policy deals with the company structure and how the company manages health and safety.
Training can sometimes be as simple as telling someone something. Passing information from one person to another, so that both people know the same rules. It could also be a toolbox talk, a training meeting, an online course, a training video or site demonstration.
There are many ways to get messages across, and if safer working practices are introduced, the people carrying out the work should be trained or informed before they begin the task.
If you had a contract to paint 500 houses blue and all the painters were issued with litres of blue paint, then the architect changed the colour to white, it would be a high priority to get in touch with all the painters and let them know about the new colour.
The same sense of urgency should be employed if new control measures or different working practices are introduced. If a new hazard has been identified but the people carrying out the work are unaware and have an accident, liability falls firmly at the feet of the employer.
