METHOD STATEMENTS FOR ROOF ACCESS & ROOF WORK

The aim of this METHOD STATEMENTS FOR ROOF ACCESS & ROOF WORK  is to explain the details regarding the roof access, MEP, and installation work activities.

Introduction

Carrying out MEP or any installation Working on roofs is always a high-risk activity. Approximately more than 50% of fatal and critical falls are from roofs and generally involve fragile materials. Remember to note that any fall from a roof will surely result in a serious fatal injury and the risks are severe however long or short the duration of work.

To overcome and minimize such fatal injuries and consequences, High health and safety standards are very important for roof access/work and the nature of the precautions needed must be evaluated for each task/job. This method statement sets out responsibilities, accountabilities, and precautions and provides integral particular guidance for good practice relevant to all roof access/work.

Scope

This methodology for the Roof Access & Roof Work applies to all roof access/work on project/facility premises.

Purpose

The Objective and Aim of this procedural guidance are to ensure:

  1. Roof access/work is avoided where applicable;
  2. When working on any fragile type roof is unavoidable, all hazards are considered and sufficient safe systems of work are in operation that will actively reduce and minimize the risk of injury to all persons involved;
  3. Compliance with relevant legislative requirements;
  4. The best practice is adopted.

Definitions

Fragile roofs

A fragile roof does not safely/securely support and bear the weight of an MEP technician and any load they may carry. 

The fragility of a roof does not depend entirely on the composition of the structure. 

The following factors are also important:

A. The thickness of the fragile roof material.

B. Space between supports.

C. Sheet profile.

D. Type, number, position, and quality of fixings.

E. Design of the supporting structure (e.g., the purlins).

F. Age of the material within the roof structure.

G. The whole roof may be fragile or only part of it, for example, roof lights. 

H. The roof structure may be temporarily fragile for example during build-up operations. 

Short duration work

Short duration work is calculated and measured in minutes rather than hours. It includes work such as replacement of a few ceilings tile, makings little adjustments to equipment, devices, inspections, and access to other areas. Carrying out Work on a roof is still fatal dangerous even if it remains for a short time and proper health and safety measures are essential.

Sloping Roofs

A sloping roof is defined and explained as a roof with a pitch of greater than 10ΒΊ. 

Flat Roof

A flat roof is termed a roof with a pitch of less than 10ΒΊ.

Safe systems of work

A safe system of work (SSOW) is a methodology of accomplishing a task that eliminates identified hazards and provides controls for those risks. Good work planning can necessarily minimize the risks involved in roof access and a safe system of work (SSOW) manages the controlled completion of the work, with low risk for the workforce involved. 

The hierarchy for control for work at height is as follows:

  1. If possible, avoid working at height.
  2. To prevent falls from working at height; use proper work equipment and techniques.
  3. Where the risk and possibility of falling cannot be eliminated, use equipment and other measures to minimize the distance/heights and consequences of any fall.
  4. All work at height activities must be appropriately planned and organized.
  5. Make sure that no work at height is conducted if it is safe and reasonably practicable to do it other than at height;
  6. Make sure that the work at height is properly well planned and organized, under competent supervision, and carried out as safely as is reasonably practicable.
  7. Make sure that emergencies and rescue procedures are available and ell planned.

HYDRATION-THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER-TOOLBOX TALKS

 The Importance of Water Safety Talk

  1. Water is one of the most important substances on Earth. 
  2. All plants, animals, and people need water to survive. 
  3. Water serves very important purposes to our bodies and our bodily functions- some of which you may not even be aware of.

Interesting Facts Regarding Water’s Role in Our Bodies

  1. Water comprises more than 60% of our body weight. 
  2. Lack of water is the #1 trigger for daytime fatigue.
  3. A 2% drop in the water level of the body can spur problems with short-term memory.
  4. Water naturally cleanses the body of toxins.
  5. Water regulates the body’s cooling system.
  6. Water acts as a lubricant and cushion to our joints.

Hydration Tips

A. It is recommended to drink at least 50oz to 64oz of water a day depending on what source you refer to. That is about three to four regular-sized water bottles a day. This amount is a minimum amount to shoot for; you may need even more water than that. Many people do not realize how little water they drink. Pay attention to how much you drink today and add to it if needed.

B. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. By the time the body tells you that you are thirsty dehydration is already occurring.

C. Other beverages such as soda or coffee steal water from your body and make you more dehydrated. Limit these types of drinks throughout the day.

D. Your urine can serve as an indicator of whether you are hydrated or not. If your urine is clear or pale and you are using the restroom regularly, you are probably hydrated. If your urine is dark and you are visiting the restroom less frequently, you need to drink more water. While you should not solely rely on this indicator, it can help gauge whether or not you need to drink more water.

METHOD STATAEMENT FOR PVC CONDUITS & ACCESSORIES INSTALLATION

Introduction And Scope

This method of statement specifies the detailed requirements and procedures for the MEP installation (PVC Conduits & Accessories Installation) of the above-mentioned project.

Methodology-PVC Conduits & Accessories Installation

  1. During the installation of the conduit system, procedures for working and dressing the installation as recommended shall be employed.
  2. All bends and sets shall be following IEE regulation 522-08 formed with the aid of a helical spring fitted internally, with, if necessary, the conduit warmed sufficiently for it to move without avoidable wall thinning of the outside of the bend.
  3. A conduit system shall be installed to ensure compliance with the requirements of Specified Standard and Regulation.
  4. Joints between PVC conduit + fittings shall be made with a suitable adhesive, but expansion couplings shall be installed where any length of conduit, inclusive of the draw-in boxes, etc., exceeds five meters in length.
  5. The minimum and maximum sizes of conduit to be employed shall be 20 millimeters and 32 millimeters in diameter respectively unless otherwise stated in subsequent sections of the specification. 
  6. Conduits in floors shall be routed and installed to avoid the fixings of floor standing equipment to be installed on the floor.
  7. When conduits are run on shuttering, before the laying of concrete insitu, additional security must be provided near every box and at intervals of not more than 1.2 meters by binding short lengths of steel wire, of not less than 2 millimeters diameter twisted around the conduit and reinforcing steel. The conduits shall be appropriately adjusted and fixed to prevent excessive movement and deterioration/damage during the pouring and setting of concrete and shall be protected from mechanical damage. Check there is no damage before screed/concrete is poured. Unless otherwise indicated cast in conduits shall not be less than 30 millimeters. cores to plastered over conduits shall not be less than 5 millimeters.
  8. Where conduits are left "open-ended" before wiring they shall be protected by caps or plugs to prevent the ingress of building material.
  9. All conduit runs must be designed to permit wiring to be readily installed after the complete erection of the conduits through the available draw-in, accessory, and luminary suspension boxes.
  10. Where surface-mounted equipment (other than luminaries) is specified, all concealed conduits shall be terminated and an adaptable box installed recessed into the wall at every surface-mounted equipment position.
  11. Where conduits pass through an external wall/roof the conduit box shall be fitted on the side and after wiring filled with an inert, permanently plastic compound having a high insulation value.
  12. Make provision in conduit and trunking, an installation where building expansion joints are crossed or settlement is likely
  13. Ensure that conduit and fittings buried in concrete or behind plaster are protected against corrosion or electrolytic action before rendering.
