Workers

Workers, along with all others involved in the life of a project, have duties to co-operate and to co-ordinate with others. The term ‘worker’ includes managers and supervisors.

Workers need to be involved as soon as possible and should:

  • Give feedback to their employer via the agreed consultation method.
  • Provide input on risk assessments and developing a method statement.
  • Work to the agreed method statement or approach their employer to discuss implementing any change or improvement.
  • Use welfare facilities with respect.
  • Keep tools and PPE in good condition.
  • Be vigilant for hazards and risks and keep management and supervisors informed.
  • Be aware of arrangements and actions to take if a dangerous situation arises.
