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.
