Notes de l'éditeur
- Our strategic themes are support by our values. So number 1: Safety. Box 1: Read box then say Whilst safety may not seem like the most import value at this stage of the project we are instilling it as a value now so that is imbedded in future. Box 2: Read box Box 3: Read box then say This relates particularly to confidentially which I will talk about in a lot more detail later So we have Safety now RESPECT Box 1: Read box Box 2: Read box Box 3: Read box then say HS2 has staff from over 12 different employing entities, from Network Rail, DfT, CH2Mhill to permanent HS2 staff, contractors and temp staff. We need to make sure we are communicating effectively and respectfully Box 4: Read box then say Does anybody know anyone along the line of route who will be effected by HS2? If someone does ask them who and how they are affected, follow up with a story you know about someone affected (Nuclear power story) What we need to understand is that HS2 will be effecting a large number of people. In the Euston area alone we will be demolishing 200 homes, 30 houses, a number of community centres. Also spare a thought for the business that will have the largest construction project in Britain over their heads for the next 10 years. SO now we have Safety, Respect and LEADERSHIP Box 1: Read box Box 2: Read box Box 3: Read box then say Following on from our strategic themes, we aim to be world class and have other projects learn from us, but this statement doesn’t just relate to the like of Crossrail, Andrew Mcnaughton our technical director, went on a trip to Japan last year to take some key learning's from the Japanese high speed rail network which has been running profitably, efficiently and most importantly safely for almost 50 years. Box 4: Read box Now we have Safety, Respect, Leadership and INTEGRITY Box 1: Read box then say As of 9.30 this morning you are all now the face of HS2, and I as you to act in a manner that befits that. Box 2: Read box Box 3: Read box then say Has anyone worked in an organisation that as dealt with Freedom of Information Requests before? This is what these two statements relate to. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of FOI requests before I will be talking about this later in the presentation. Box 4: Read box then say This isn’t the type of organisation where you do a purchase order after the purchasing, every single penny spent is publically funded so make sure you have Procurement or Finance approval for every spend you make
- We have an overarching health and safety programme at HS2 – all under the banner of S.A.F.E . This stands for Safe And Fit Every time and everywhere. The Fit refers to Fit for work and Fit for purpose. The HS2 S.A.F.E programme is designed to deliver our strategic theme that states that we will design, build and operate the railway to the highest safety standards. Read through Principles Report incidents, accidents, hazards and near misses Policies and guidelines in place to help and protect you – whatever your role H&S Interchange portal Safety Alerts, Lessons Learned Specific points to mention: Health and Safety is an enabler Work to the rules we don’t want you to break them and if they don’t work we will change them Talk to people as people deliver safety not paperwork Act as a visible safety leader
- Point out stations and which part is phase one and phase two Discuss the possibility of an HS2 Station at Crewe
- Just to give you a feel of the overall scale of the programme and the challenges ahead, here are a few headline statistics. In particular the overall route length is 230km of which about 25% is in tunnels. It is also worth highlighting that about a third of this length is in cuttings to reduce the visual impacts of the railway. We are looking to reuse 90% of 128m tonnes of excavated materials within the programme. Additionally, there are over 300 over and under bridges along the route and no level crossings!
- The health and safety of your workers, supply chain, visitors (me), the public and any body else that may be affected by our work and that includes demonstrators must be at the fore of any decision you make. We want this project to the an example to the rest of the UK construction industry.

- The applications for IIDB means that there were 6140 new, people Permanently disabled by an condition which they contracted at work. of which two-thirds were lung related diseases. The next largest categories were vibration white finger, carpal tunnel syndrome and respiratory diseases associated with past exposures to substances such as asbestos, coal dust, manual handling injuries and stress

- There were eight deaths over the two years of construction as well as thousands of accidents. The long-term cost in terms of occupational health is unknown but it can but reasonably assumed that a large portion of the workers involved in the project will have had their health adversely effected for the rest of their lives as a result of their employment. ROB COMMENT – Joe on the next page I make it nine workers in total?
- 2 men died in falls from height, one in the manias stadium, June 11, 2012 and March 28, 2013 Oct 25, 2013: A fire breaks out in the foundations of the stadium site in Cuiabá – one man killed Nov 27, 2013: Two workers die when a crane collapses at the São Paulo stadium, scheduled to host the World Cup opener. Dec 14, 2013: Another worker falls to his death at the Manaus stadium. Feb 7, 2014: A third worker dies at the Manaus stadium from head and chest injuries suffered while dismantling a crane. March 29, 2014: A worker falls to his death while installing floors on the temporary stands being added to the Arena Corinthians in São Paulo for the World Cup opener. May 8, 2014: A worker is killed by an electrical shock while installing a telecommunications network – just over a month before the opening ceremony
- Currently one worker per day is being killed in the construction of the Qatari world cup venues and associated infrastructure.
- The first Olympic build in history where there were no fatalities, the first major project to specifically recognise occupation health as an issue, and do something about it. It left a legacy of learning and experience across the industry and It reset the standard for health and safety on major projects
- So, How did they do it? They were determined at the start to get it right and then to continue that commitment throughout the build of the new venues and fit out of existing buildings and infrastructure. They used a number of initiatives that contributed to the effective safety culture on the Olympic Park site. Safety clearly set as a priority The ODA took a strategic role, setting health and safety as a priority, and integrated this into the organisations involved from the outset, through standards and requirements. These were clear throughout the supply chain, including the desire for a consistent commitment to the same health and safety standard. Empowerment of contractors The Tier 1 contractors (i.e. primary contractors with overall responsibility for individual projects) were empowered to develop their own processes and systems to deliver the ODA’s objectives. The ODA focused on engaging contractors, enabling them to develop their own good practice, drive their own performance and allowing them to use their own company processes. Excellence The ODA strove for excellence in all activities, including health and safety. Consistent message The workers believed in the genuine commitment within organisations, as the message was consistent and reiterated across the Olympic Park over time. Communications At the Olympic Park, the communication processes, both formal and informal, were efficient. Contractors communicated with each other frequently. The ODA, its delivery partner and contractors were proactive and facilitated the communication process across the Park by encouraging worker engagement and developing informal networks. There were many enabling factors that aided how health and safety messages were communicated and which influenced workers’ behaviour, for instance visible leaders who engaged the workforce. Good practice transfer Formal systems were put in place (e.g. multi-contractor meetings, cross-Park visits) to enable contractors to learn from each other at the Park. Contractors adopted good practice from other sites. Achieving a positive health and safety culture The HSE’ conducted research that provides a number of case studies from the Olympics Park that they describe as exemplary. They recommend that these case studies should be adopted across construction and other sectors. They have derived a number of key points from the case studies that helped achieve the Parks’ positive safety culture. Top of these were organisational commitment, i.e. managers should: ◾appreciate the value of leading by example and demonstrating positive behaviours ◾be visible and approachable ◾provide support where conflicting pressures may arise. Their other points covered: ◾health and safety orientated behaviours, e.g. tailoring workshops and campaigns to make them relevant to workers and incorporating interesting activities to engage the workforce ◾health and safety trust, e.g. using a variety of reward and recognition schemes to encourage positive behaviours ◾usability of procedures, e.g. developing risk assessments via a structured, easy to use process, involving appropriately experienced workers who are familiar with the work being assessed ◾engagement in health and safety, e.g. developing a variety of reporting methods, communicating these to workers, and refreshing the methods to keep the importance at the forefront of workers’ minds ◾peer group attitude, e.g. devoting time and resources to enable workers to develop strong, positive, working relationships, and to take responsibility for their own and others’ health and safety ◾resources for health and safety, e.g. planning work early to ensure resources are agreed and allocated prior to the project start date and to ensure enough time is allocated to complete the work safely ◾accident and near miss reporting, e.g. ensuring workers understand the purpose and value in reporting observations and near misses, and providing clear, timely feedback to demonstrate the value of their reports and resulting actions. What does this mean to HS2? We can all learn from these initiatives – what worked for the Olympics can work for anyone who wants to get it right, protect their workers and make their business successful. The HSE summed up the success of the ODA by saying that they had demonstrated that it is possible and feasible to develop high standards of health and safety, and a culture that supports that aspiration, in the construction sector. London 2012 has ‘raised the bar’; in areas as diverse as health and safety, sustainability, equality and inclusion, and business, jobs and training, they have set new standards to which others can aspire.
- Ours is an exciting and dynamic project, at the heart of which is working and behaving safely. Like everything to do with HS2 we want our GI to break new ground in the way in which we work and establish new, world-class ways of working that set the standard for the rest of industry. That means breaking records for the best ever health and safety performance on a major project, and preventing everyone involved in or impacted by the project from coming to any harm and, unlike other major projects that have happened in the recent past, we are starting with ground investigation.
- This Big Picture tells the story of our S.A.F.E journey, depicting the risks that are present at every stage, but also the solutions that will be put in place. Divided into phases of activity, it demonstrates how health and safety are at the heart of the way in which we design and construct the project, the legacy that it will leave once the railway has been completed, and the way that the railway will ultimately be safely operated. Phase 1 displays where we are now; a rapidly growing organisation, drawing inspiration and best practice from other world class projects, identifying what health and safety means to HS2 and establishing our culture of S.A.F.E. Phase 2 shows how the work is focused around ways of reducing risk in the design, construction and operation phases, aligning with major contractors and managing the first operational activity in the form of the Ground Investigation works. Phase 3 depicts the construction phase; the design and risk work having been completed, and S.A.F.E an integral part of all operations. Phase 4, illustrates the completed project, with both the railway and stations operating safely. As you can see this will mean the project has been completed on time and on budget and securing, as a result, positive feedback from all the key stakeholders. Importantly, it also displays the legacy the project has established.
- Leadership and behaviour: Everyone in the supply chain will demonstrate their commitment to health and safety at every opportunity and at each management and supervisor level within their organisations. Directors, managers and supervisors will set the tone, lead by example and take a lead in developing a good health and safety culture. You will develop a documented process in place for the promotion and implementation of behavioural safety throughout their organisation, aligned to S.A.F.E. Designing for health and safety: Designing for health and safety applies to the wider definition of the term design ‘to plan’ as well as ‘design’ as defined under CDM. Our contractors shall plan their works and activities applying the principles of prevention and this shall be undertaken by competent operatives including work activities, compound layouts, site vehicle routes etc. Temporary works will be appropriate for known hazards, site conditions, and work activities. Operatives producing or co-ordinating temporary works design must be demonstrably competent to undertake this activity. Workplace health and safety: HS2 workplaces shall be clean, tidy and without risk to safety or health as far as reasonably practicable. Our framework contractors shall have processes in place to respond to workers concerns or complaints that does not penalise them for raising such concerns or complaints. Where corrective action is required it shall be promptly implemented. Our Contractors shall maintain work places plant and other equipment shall be maintained in accordance with a written plan and replaced as necessary. The broadest definition of ‘workplace’ shall be used and include vehicles, logistical compounds, offices etc. related to the performance and completion the GI Constructing safely: You will implement policies, procedures, systems and working practices to ensure the health and safety of all those involved in the works. You will ensure that adequate resources are allocated to the management and promotion of health and safety. Performance and improvement: We want our contractors to measure both the value and effectiveness of their proactive health and safety effort. Health and Safety performance and lag indicators such as accidents and incidents. We want you to review your performance and introduce improvement plans to ensure continuous improvement. Engagement: HS2 contractors shall engage with their stakeholders i.e. workforce, staff and HS2 These engagement processes’ shall include people at every level from Board-room to frontline and be delivered the most appropiate methods for example team briefings, posters, formal meetings, tool box talks, safety tours, inspection results etc.
- B2.100.10 Controls HS2 believes an effective occupational health (OH) standard across the Framework Agreement is essential for the delivery of the overall business objectives, as good health will have a positive effect on employees, contractors, workers and the delivery of the programme. An effective OH provision is one that goes beyond providing a clinical and emergency response service, aiming to: Protect workers against work related health issues Monitor health of workers with specific health checks over time Ensure the fitness of workers to work safely and effectively Reduce absence due to work-related illness Advise on rehabilitation programmes after long term illness or injury Enhance well-being through health education and promotional programmes Providing health services that supplement and complement the national health service e.g. access to doctors, nurses, dentists, that help workers deal with everyday health matters Unlike safety considerations, the effect of a health incident can happen a long time after the initial exposure to a health risk. Health can also have different effects depending on personal factors such as gender, genetics, health behaviours and previous health history. There are three kinds of health reactions to health risks in the workplace: Immediate or Acute Reactions (e.g. coughing, becoming unconscious) Occurs suddenly or minutes following contact or exposure to a health hazard; usually has an easily identifiable cause; poor health may follow repeated or prolonged exposure to a health hazard and may lead to a worker being removed from the hazard and requiring early medical attention or first aid. Delayed Effects (e.g. lung or skin problems) Occur hours to years after the exposure and can be acute in nature; may not be easily linked to a specific hazard or workplace; may not have obvious signs of ill health or effect; and may only be found through health checks or sophisticated hospital testing. Chronic Effects (e.g. noise induced hearing loss or cancers) Occurs gradually over a long period of time (often years); may not be easily diagnosed or linked to a specific work hazard; may not result in immediate action by the employer to correct as the worker may not link the health problem with work done years ago. Hs2 has set the priorities for the supply chain by putting measures in place to eliminate, reduce, isolate and control these risks so far as reasonably practicable Our framework Contractors shall have access to professional medical OH specialists to deliver up to date and evidence based advice and perform the medical components of the OH provision. It is important that those determining health risk understand health implications and the effects of the activities in the Investigation on the Employees. Our contractors shall provide an OH service to assist and advise on preventing work related ill health, educating the workforce and promoting well-being for everyone involved in the Gi. Contractors shall ensure that health information is current, research based and/or best practice medical information and guidance is used. HS2’s aspiration is to embed the concept of ‘SAFE’ in all our activities. The Contractor shall: Ensure there are effective communications on site to keep staff informed of OH progress, learning, campaigns and programmes Ensure that all personnel fully understand the site health requirements. HS2 believes that an effective OH program is essential for the delivery of the Investigations under this Framework Agreement as good health will have a positive effect on all workers B2.100.20 Health Risks The main health risks associated with the Investigations are: Manual handling, repetitive or heavy lifting, causing musculo-skeletal issues and one of the major causes of work related health injury or disability Environmental conditions and hazardous substances have a serious effect on the skin e.g. allergic conditions, skin cancers Excessive and prolonged noise causes permanent damage to hearing Vibration from hand held tools and sit on trucks causes serious permanent damage to touch, dexterity and reaction to the cold in the upper limbs; whole body vibration increase the cases of low back pain. Biological risks, from contaminated needles, animals, parasites, fungus etc. Lung disease from inhaled harmful substances and fibres, asthma and cancers from contaminated land, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) causing lung disease lack of sleep and fatigue, known to affect the body clock and can contribute to accidents and ill health. Workplace stress, addressed by conducting stress risk assessments as set out in the HSE Management Standards We must minimise the risk of workers being affected for these eight health risks, including undertaking health surveillance, health checking and wellbeing programmes. You shall take account of the following items when considering the health risks in the health risk assessment: Vulnerable workers e.g. pregnant and disabled Violence and aggression from the public Lead, anthrax, cholera, mercury contamination Lone work and shift working Other new or unusual health issues emerging during work; Framework Contractors shall ensure that safety critical workers (as defined by the Constructing Better Health Industry Standards, version 2 (CBH Standards) receive a higher level of OH supervision. GI work may contain any of the following safety critical roles: Confined space workers Geotechnical workers Asbestos licensed workers LGV/HGV and plant operators Employees that routinely work at height B2.100.30 Contractor’s Responsibilities The Contractor shall: Provide competent health advisers and OH services as defined in the CBH Standards and Safe Effective Quality Occupational Health Standards (SEQOHS) Become a member of CBH and to comply with the CBH Standards Identify, evaluate and mitigate health risks where reasonably practicable Ensure that all site workers details are uploaded onto the CBH database prior to them undertaking any Site Operations Provide OH welfare and wellbeing services to enhance workers health Refer workers to the Contractor’s OH service to investigate ill health issues when required e.g. absence, rehabilitation programmes, disability issues Ensure all workers have had the appropriate health checks and any recommendations are actioned or considered Investigate health issues as part of an accident investigation Ensure that the Contractor’s site induction includes OH matters the first day on site Provide periodic anonymous health information reports detailing health activity and achievements to the Employer Provide other OH services as determined by risk assessment processes e.g. hygienist, physiotherapist, counsellors. Train supervisors to identify and deal effectively with health risks Monitor and audit health processes to check on compliance B2.100.40 Record Keeping Contractors shall record and monitor the following health management information related to its workforce and capturing the following information: Attendance figures and absences linked to work related ill health issues Numbers of health promotion activities and engagement of workers in campaigns Reviewing health and safety risk assessments and identifying and recording health related aspects Results of health surveillance programmes B2.100.50 Occupational Health (OH) Services The Contractor shall provide an OH service to workers that: Is accredited with CBH and SEQOHS and work to the CBH Standards Identifies any health conditions believed to be caused or made worse by work Undertakes initial and periodic health checks as set out in the CBH Standards. The Contractor shall ensure that health check information is entered into the CBH national database within 2 days of worker’s health assessment Undertakes pre-placement health checks as part of the health risk assessment process for new starters Undertake job specific health and medical surveillance Provides information on individual workers’ health issues e.g., fitness for work and returning to work after illness Deliver health promotion and wellbeing initiatives specific to the Investigation and as part of an overall health promotion programme as directed by the Employer Provides referral processes and information for workers and employees who may be experiencing mental health issues, stress, and domestic issues. Determines when increased or decreased health surveillance is required having reviewed risk assessments, hygiene data and CBH Standards guidance Provides statistical information and trend analysis of the results of health surveillance. B2.1090.60 Communication to Workers The Contractor shall provide relevant health and safety instruction as identified by site requirements, following the health and safety risk assessment and which includes the following: Safe working practices - information necessary to prevent ill health e.g. reporting health issues, manual handling training, administrative procedures, use of personal protective equipment and absence reporting procedures etc. Job specific information and personal advice to protect health e.g. skin care, adverse weather conditions, avoiding sunburn etc. Drug and alcohol policy requirements How poor health can compromise safety The facilities and support available from the occupational health service Reporting of potential negative work related health issues to line or site managers Reporting of any changes in personal health which may compromise health and safety Safe and Fit Everytime and Everywhere, the Employer Standard for Health and Safety
- PAS 128 is A new Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 128, sponsored by the BSI, launched on the 30th June 2014. The aim of PAS 128 is to achieve clarity for those engaged in the detection and location of utilities, through adopting a consistent standard of undertaking and delivering utility surveys. As one of the leading experts in the industry, Atkins has contributed to the creation of PAS128 through membership on the steering group committee. PAS 128 applies to the detection, verification and location of active, abandoned, redundant or unknown underground utilities and associated surface features that facilitate the location and identification of underground utility infrastructure. It sets out the accuracy to which the data are captured for specific purposes, the quality expected of that data and a means by which to assess and indicate the confidence that can be placed in those data. There are four quality levels within PAS 128; A through to D. A survey area may be subdivided so that the appropriate survey level is applied to each so satisfying the project need and addressing the safety and financial risk. PAS 128 is applicable to surveyors, geophysicists or subsurface utility engineers as well as engineers, constructors, project managers and utility owners, who are responsible for recording information about underground utilities.
- HS2 has implemented an online, web enabled, data entry system for the reporting of unplanned events and performance data. HS2 will provide training and licences to enable you to use the system to report: Unplanned events include: accidents, incidents and near misses Performance data includes: site and work package audits, corrective actions reports (CAR), CAR close outs, hazard profile, inspections, management tours, training and hours worked (etc.). In addition, the Contractors shall report on specific inputs and controls in the areas of behaviour and culture.
- B2.60.50 Hazard Profile You are required prepare and submit a Hazard Profile to HS2 The Hazard Profile shall be specific to the Work Package and to the work planned in any rolling three month period. The hazard profile shall identify the significant hazards for example work adjacent water, a planned lift, work near overhead lines, work near the railway, and controls to be applied to manage the hazards and the people responsible for ensuring that the controls are implemented You shall detail in the Hazard Profile, the controls in full or make reference to task sheets, work package plans, SSOWs, etc. The Hazard Profile will also identify how the arrangements are cascaded down to employees and subcontractor’s We will use the Hazard Profile to plan interventions and our assurance monitoring and a serious discrepancy between the detail provided and the work being undertaken will result in the close down of the site or the planned work not going ahead A single hazard profile shall be submitted for any Work Package Orders that are anticipated to be of less than one month’s duration.
- B2.60.60 Health & Safety Improvement Plan You shall prepare a Health and Safety Improvement Plan detailing how you intend to make improvements to your health and safety performance during the course of a Work Package Order. This plan shall be reviewed as part of the our assurance monitoring your performance during a Work Package Order. The Health and Safety Improvement Plan shall be wholly owned by and be the responsibility of yourselves and shall be submitted to HS2 at the work package readiness review.
- Plan your worksite around the welfare B2.70.30 Welfare We believe the provision of good quality, clean welfare facilities is a key factor to the well-being of workers and influence their attitudes and behaviours at work. We require our Contractors to strive to improve the standard of welfare facility used on the Site. Duly, you will provide good, well maintained, welfare facilities This will help to improve the health and wellbeing of site personnel. site personnel shall have reasonable access to welfare units at all times during the working day. For areas where work will take place of less than one week in duration a mobile welfare unit, unless a fixed unit is available, that will provide a facility for the contractor’s staff to dry PPE, wash, prepare and heat food etc. completely separately from the work site. For sites where work is due to take place on longer than one week in duration the Contractor will provide a fixed welfare facility to provide facilities as described above. We want you to assess the number of person onsite against the size of the facility to ensure adequacy. This assessment must be available on request to us as part of our assurance monitoring The arrangements for welfare shall be documented in the Construction Phase Plan, which should include a description of the type of facilities being provided, how they are being maintained, any associated logistical issues and generally how they meet the our requirements.
- Our Contractors will manage the risks associated with fatigue, irrespective of any individual’s willingness to work extra hours or preference for certain shift patterns for social reasons. Compliance with the Working Time Regulations alone is insufficient to manage the risks of fatigue. The process’s you put in place and records you have for fatigue management will be available to us on request as part of our assurance monitoring
- Leave them with the point that the Health & safety team is there to support, advise and help.
