ObjectiveTo benchmark health and safety standards for operated plant (including the competence requirements for operators) that will be used across the managed motorway framework.
This document is to be used in conjunction with project specific vehicle and plant management plans and is subject to ongoing improvement as new technologies are developed.
BackgroundPersonnel being struck by vehicles and plant attribute to on average ten fatal in-juries and approximately 150 major injuries in the construction industry each year. Hence the control of risks associated with plant, passing through or working within our worksites is of paramount importance.
A suite of best practice standards has been produced which set the health and safety requirements for items of operated plant that are used frequently on civil engineering projects.
The requirements contained in the standards will be utilised by all delivery partners when procuring plant for use on managed motorway schemes.
Plant and equipment – introduction
Minimum requirementThis section sets out the minimum requirements for both the plant and the operator/ driver in order to achieve current best practice.
DesirableThis section lists requirements for plant and operators/drivers that may not apply to every situation, but also may raise the bar in approach.
Hazards/risksSignificant hazards/risks are identified in this section however the use of plant on site will be subject to a full documented risk assessment.
LegislationThere are references to legislation throughout the document however it isnot intended to list all legislative requirements relating to plant operations. For further information please refer to the following applicable legislation (note this is not exhaustive):
• Provisionanduseofworkequipmentregulations• Liftingoperationsandliftingequipmentregulations• Workatheightregulations• Personalprotectiveequipment(PPE)regulations• Controlofsubstanceshazardoustohealth(COSHH)regulations• Roadvehicles(constructionanduse)regulations• Constructionplantandequipment (harmonisation of noise emission standards) regulations• Thecontrolofnoiseatworkregulations
