Accidents in the UPVC fitters sector

Falls and things falling from height are among the most common accident causes in the fenestration industry. Fitters often work at the first-floor level or above and roof height for soffit and fascia work.

Due to the weight of composite doors and the wind load that glazed units can be exposed to, manual handling is another area that poses a high risk of accident and injury.

Slips, trips and falls on the same level are commonplace, and the risk increases if someone works from the outside on uneven ground.

Occupational hazards include hearing loss from loud power tools, and occupational diseases include dermatitis from sealants contacting skin and asbestos-related diseases if asbestos is accidentally disturbed.

This falls into two sections: the H&S you are required to have by law and the H&S principal contractors insist you have before carrying out work for them. A principal contractor can demand any document they wish, and you either have to supply it if you want to work for them or you lose out to a competitor.

If you employ more than four people, you will need risk assessments, COSHH assessments, and a company H&S policy as a legal requirement.

Most CDM sites also ask for method statements, and you may be asked for equality and diversity policies, staff training records, lone worker policies, and PAT test records.

This package includes relevant risk assessments, method statements, and COSHH assessments, but not the company H&S policy.

A Company H&S policy is omitted because it’s not specifically relevant to a particular task. Instead, it’s a stand-alone document that covers your general approach to H&S within your company and who is responsible for what.

Because so many fitters work at height, training for this in your sector is considered a high priority alongside asbestos awareness training. Manual handling of slips, trips, and falls should also be considered.

Some of the most important staff training isn’t about being in a classroom or taking an online course. It’s about keeping your staff up to date on specific site rules and what’s expected of them. If management implements a control measure of wearing suede gauntlets to remove existing window panes yet doesn’t pass this information on to the workers, it’s just a paperwork exercise.

Likewise, if someone is seen using ladders in a way that is considered dangerous, the staff needs to know why and how to use them safely so safety fliers can be handed out or a toolbox talk can be conducted.
