Ensuring health and safety in the workplace involves much more than just preparing the necessary documents. It is about identifying potential risks and hazards and implementing safe practices to mitigate them. While creating Health and Safety (H&S) Documents is an essential part of the process as it helps identify hazards and risks associated with specific tasks, it is merely the first step towards a safer work environment. Ultimately, what matters most is effectively communicating the information in these documents to the workers carrying out the tasks. This involves providing clear instructions, comprehensive training, and enforcing safe working practices. By doing so, we can ensure that our staff remains protected and our workplace environment remains safe and secure.

Asbestos exposure is a common risk for M&E tradespeople. This often happens when they work on properties without an asbestos register. Asbestos-containing materials can also be hard to spot since they may have been painted or over-clad. Other common risks for tradespeople include falls from heights, slips, trips, and manual handling incidents.

Plumbers are regularly exposed to dangerous substances, including human waste, biohazards, mould, and chemicals. Using a percussion drill in a confined space without carpets or furniture to absorb the sound can cause hearing loss.

Hand and eye damage is always a risk, as well as burns and smoke inhalation when carrying out hot work.

Like all companies in the construction industry, M&E companies are required to comply with various government Acts and regulations. In addition to these mandatory rules, there are also voluntary regulations that may be enforced by principal contractors or management teams of CDM sites.

Risk assessments are the primary legal requirement for every task a company carries out and are seen to be incredibly important in the construction industry due to the high accident rate. The company carrying out work is responsible for the safety of employees and anybody else affected by the work, so assessing a task for risks is essential. If potential risks are found, it is necessary to introduce safe working practices and control measures to eliminate or reduce the risk to an acceptable level. Failure to do this means an employer has failed in their legal duty of care and would be responsible for any injuries a person might suffer while carrying out a task.

Company H&S policies are a legal requirement if a company employs five or more people. However, regardless of the company's size, most principal contractors won't let another company be on their approved supply list without this policy.

Method statements that list how to carry out a task using safe working practices are not legal but are usually mandatory when employed by larger companies.

COSHH assessments are a legal requirement, and all substances at the workplace should have the relevant product data sheet used to create these assessments before use.

Providing training and instructions to employees is not only a best practice but a legal requirement. It is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers, just as new drivers need instruction on how to operate a car safely. Similarly, in the workplace, if an employee is required to use a ladder but hasn't received proper safety training, it begs the question - why would an employer allow their workers to engage in risky tasks without appropriate instruction?

Training has become cost-effective and easy to manage due to the availability of online courses, and the four courses that all construction workers should take are:

• Slips, trips and falls.
• Working at height.
• Manual handling.
• Asbestos awareness.

Instruction is as essential as training and is often as simple as reiterating company policy and safe working practices to staff and ensuring that they know any risks that have been identified and the control measures introduced to create safe working practices.

Instruction is the best way to get staff to know and follow the information in method statements and risk assessments.
