Health and Safety-

Our Construction Phase, Health, Environmental and Quality Plan will be devised by FES Contracts Manager Barry

McFadden and reviewed and approved by FES Support Services Health and Safety Manager Peter McEwan.

It is the policy of FES Ltd to promote a health and safety culture throughout the Company which is committed to the

prevention of injuries and ill health of our employees, sub-contractors and others who may be affected by our work

activities and to prevent any damage or loss to property, plant and equipment.

The highest standards of health and safety will be reflected in the design and/or installation of systems and equipment to

our clients.

The Company believes that this policy can be achieved by compliance with statutory requirements and the provision of

competent resources for the control of health and safety risks. Health and safety will never be compromised by other

objectives. This supports Clients Safety Plans, Policies and requirements.

The Company will maintain a system of communications to ensure that mandatory instructions, reports and guidance on

all health and safety matters are effectively circulated to appropriate levels of staff.


The Company will produce health and safety plans and set performance standards.

The planning will provide for:

• Identifying hazards and assessing risks, and specifying the measures to eliminate or control them.

• Design of safe systems of work i.e. Method Statements.

• Training and supervision.

• Assessment and approval of sub-contractors and other agencies.

• Dealing with serious danger and emergencies.

The Company will establish and maintain an organisation structure with clearly defined responsibilities and authority for

individuals in the effective control of health and safety, and will actively promote employee participation in the

establishment and observance of measures to improve their health and safety at work.

The Company will monitor and measure health and safety performance to ensure that standards are being met and

management controls are working by means of:

• Inspections of premises, places of work and systems of work.

• Inspections of plant, tools and equipment.

• Investigation of any serious accidents, fires and dangerous occurrences.

• Recording of health surveillance, injuries, ill health and accident loss.


Every employee must co-operate with us to enable all statutory duties to be complied with, the successful implementation

of this policy requires total commitment from all levels of employees.

Each individual has a legal obligation to take reasonable care for his or her own health and safety and for the safety of

other people which may be affected by his or hers acts or omissions.

Full details of the organisation and arrangements for health and safety will be set out in separate documents.

This policy will be regularly monitored to ensure that all objectives are achieved.

It will be reviewed and if necessary, revised in the light of legislative or organisational changes.

FES Ltd will continue to improve health and safety in our management and performance.


Hinksford Construction Management Plan-

The following organogram depicts how FES will be delivering the project with the appointment of key personnel and their

respective roles.

Charlie Easton is in overall control of these STOR Projects for and on the behalf of FES as our Divisional Director supported

by Bruce Totten as Divisional Manager.

With regards the operations team this is headed by our Operations Manager Ryan Halliday who will be in charge of the

running of this and all STOR Projects that may run concurrently with Hinksford with Contracts Manager Barry McFadden

focusing solely on this particular site.

All of the appointed FES key personnel have Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) accreditation or Site

Supervisors Safety Training Scheme accreditation and have extensive knowledge and experience of managing,

delivering and organising construction projects across all sectors.


Project Deliveries-

The following drawing details the route for all deliveries travelling from north or south direction from the main M6

motorway to site via Wolverhampton. This will be issued to all sub-contractors/suppliers and site visitors accompanied

with the Traffic Management Plan.


Upon arrival in Hinksford all traffic shall access the site via Swindon Road turn into site by way of the new site access road

which will replace the existing field entrance. This is marked by way of the red perimeter line on the attached sketch.


Phase 1-

Access into the Field will be through the existing Gate off Swindon Road as indicated by the blue hatched area on the

drawing below-T-17-1653-001. This will remain the only Entrance to the Site for the duration of the works (Phase 1) and a

Traffic Management Plan is provided to warn other road users of the Construction Site Entrance as highlighted on Drawing

T-17-1653-001. The signage will be in place for approximately 44 weeks.

There are works to be carried out at this Entrance to open up the access by removing sections of the existing hedge to

create the new wider Site Entrance with pavement and kerb alterations. This will require a partial lane closure (Phase 2).


Phase 2

For the new amendments to the Site Entrance to be constructed, we will need to close the lane nearest the Site Entrance

for a short duration. We have prepared an additional Traffic Management Plan to include a Traffic Light System whilst

these works are carried out, refer to Drawing T-17-1653-002, which will be on site for approximately 3 weeks.


Hinksford Traffic Management Plan-

The following drawing is FES’ Traffic Management Plan for the site which will coordinate all vehicular and pedestrian

traffic for the site. Encompassed within the Traffic Management Plan will be considerations for speed limits onsite,

directional traffic signage, warning signage at the site entrance and also throughout the site, positions of mini generator

feeding the water bowser for the wheel wash supply at the site entrance where all vehicles will arrive and depart the site.

In addition there will be signage for the site offices, welfare facilities and site parking for visitors and staff and a clearly

defined area for loading and unloading of materials.


The drawing below is a General Arrangement drawing of the proposed site detailing positions of all generators, auxiliary

generator, transformers, welfare hut, security arrangements, DNO metering sub-station, switch room/control room, gas

metering house and gas boiler house.

The red line details the perimeter fencing which shall cordon off the site at all times and ensure that the site is secure at all

times.

will also have an emergency telephone in case of an emergency.
