Our customers feedback are a testimony to the value of this package.

Falls from height are a particular risk to plasterers especially is purpose built access equipment isn’t being used. On smaller sites it’s still a frequent sight to see scaffold boards spanning milk crates, or similar to create raised walkways.

The same is true for stair wells where scaffold boards are often fed through ladder rungs to gain access.

Slips, trips and falls are another common incident and this is compounded because of the size of the area a plasterer can be working on and the fact that it’s a wet trade.

Eye injuries from plaster, dust and lime based render are a common risk, as are manual handling injuries.

Additionally there are occupational diseases due to asbestos disturbance, and hearing loss and white finger from power tool use.

Plaster dust, other airborne dusts and silica also contribute to lung related occupational diseases.

For most contracts you will need the risk assessments, method statements and COSHH assessments that are found in this pack, as well as a company health and safety policy if you employ 5 or more staff.

The H&S policy is different to your RAMS as it doesn’t deal with the safety of a specific site. Instead it is a stand alone document that states how your company manage H&S, and who is responsible for what.

Risk assessment: This is a document that lists the results of any task you’ve assessed for risks and the control measures you’ve put in place to eliminate the risk, or reduce it to an acceptable level.

Method statement: This is how the task is to be carried out, but not every step of a method statement has to be listed as manufacturers often supply their own method statements with their products. An example of this is mixing dry wall adhesive, where you would simply write, ‘Mix adhesive according to manufacturers instructions’.

COSHH assessment: COSHH stands for Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health, and these documents are your legal responsibility to provide. The list hazardous compositions, health risks to individuals and the environment, first aid and fire fighting measures.

A plasterer is already trained. They know how to do their job and many spreads have been doing the same thing for years. Yet fatalities, injuries and occupational diseases are still prevalent in the plastering injury.

Asbestos awareness training, working at height and manual handling training, are three areas of training that should be addressed.

Giving tradesmen the knowledge to work safely and avoid accidents is beneficial to everyone.
