Section One Roles & Responsibilities

P1 (Part)

The basis of British health and safety law is the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Carry out research into the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Task 1Using your own words, list the roles and responsibilities of an employer under the legislation.

Task 2Using your own words, list the roles and responsibilities of an employee under the legislation.

Section One Roles & ResponsibilitiesTask 3

Below are some real life examples of accidents in the workplace. Think about the roles and responsibilities of an employer and employee under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and try to determine which is at fault for each case.

1. A worker fractured their ankle in a food factory when water vapour froze inside and on the outside edge of a freezer. Seals on the door did not shut fully or seal and the floor was uneven and worn. The company had ignored previous employees' pleas and Health and Safety Inspectors recommendations to improve working conditions.

Who is at fault?

...............................................................................................................

2. An employee operating a carpet-beaming machine became entangled in accessible revolving machinery causing serious injuries. The guarding on the machine was not fixed or interlocked and the trip wire was not in the correct position.

Who is at fault?

...............................................................................................................

3. A driver visiting a quarry and landfill site was fatally electrocuted when the grab on his lorry contacted an overhead powerline. The site was poorly laid out with inadequate signage and barriers.

The quarry owner/occupier/operator failed to cooperate with the investigation. Gathering the evidence to support the defended cases therefore presented major difficulties. Close working between the HSE, Customs and Excise, local planning authority, Environment Agency, County Council and solicitor agents was needed to identify the duty holders and make sure the legal proceedings moved forward successfully.

Who is at fault?

...............................................................................................................

4. An employee was killed when the auger drive unit of a piling rig he was attempting to dismantle flew off its stand and struck him. The Defendant had been contracted to carry out piling around the perimeter of the site in

NAME Bedfordshire to form a retaining wall, enabling the site to be excavated for the construction of a new office block.

Who is at fault?

Section Two Health and Safety LegislationTask 4Write a brief summary that explains the following Health and Safety Legislations that are often seen within an Engineering Workplace;

(a) Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002

(b) Factories Act 1961

(c) Employment Act 2002

(d) Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992

Section Five Signage

P1 (Part)

Task 1

List the five main types of signs found in an engineering workshop

Each of the different sign groups uses different colours to make it easy to distinguish the type of sign, for example safe condition signs use white text on a green background.

Task 2

In the space below, sketch an example of one sign for each of the five groups. Use colour in the sketches to make your answers clear.

Section Six Personal Protective Equipment

P2 (Part)

It is vital to ensure that people are given the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) whenever there are risks to health and safety that cannot be adequately controlled in other ways.

The requirements for the provision and use of PPE at work are covered by the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.

Task 1List the items of PPE that are available in your workshop.

Task 2When working, is it a legal requirement that your employer provides you with the necessary PPE for your job? Explain why this is the case.

Refer to www.hse.gov.uk for help and guidance.

Your Health and Safety policy should take into account the fact that the main users of the area will be new comers to Engineering and your policy should be worded so that it can be easily understood.

You should arrange your Health and Safety policy under the following headings:

1. A general statement explaining what the policy is about and who needs to know about it.

2. Procedure for accident and incident reporting (what needs to be reported and who it should be reported to).

3. Manual Handling and Lifting
