INTRODUCTION

i) Immediate Action:

It is important to note that the Client for the scheme, Liverpool City Council, has been managing the safety of buildings and properties within the site boundary for a number of years. This includes utility disconnections to individual properties, boarding-up and general security measures. These buildings are in a state of disrepair and in a hazardous condition.

As a result of this process NO information is available on the current state of existing buildings and properties other than that provided as part of the survey and demolition process therefore the Principal Contractor must proceed with caution at all times.

The Contractors attention is drawn to the need to visit the site during the Early Contractor Involvement stage.

ii) Basis of Information Pack:

The Plan should be read in conjunction with the Specification and Drawings and references have been made to this document where appropriate.

This Information Pack prepared by the CDM Coordinator is based on the design prepared by the Designers and on information provided by the Client and/or Designers Significant hazards are identified in relation to the works and the methods foreseen by the Designers. Additional hazards may be identified by the Principal Contractor and these should be included in the development of the Information Pack

It has been assumed that a competent Principal Contractor will prepare and operate his own safety management system taking into account the Site Rules, the Client requirements, the perceived hazards and project information provided in this document.

iii) Development of the Plan

The Principal Contractor has a duty to develop the Information Pack prepared by the CDM Coordinator to set out the means by which he will control the hazards identified and to take account of the following: -

a) Any changes to the design

b) Aspects of Health and Safety specific to the Principal Contractor's method of working

c) Principal Contractors detailed Health and Safety procedures.

d) All current relevant legislation

e) Hazards identified by the Principal Contractor and other Contractors.

f) Hazards identified by Contractors with a design responsibility

g) The Clients specific requirements

h) New risks, which may arise during the course of the work

Any changes to the Plan resulting from design changes must only be done by agreement with the CDM Coordinator.

These may include specific items with respect to site rules and the control of Health and Safety hazards.

The Information Pack for the work should be developed as early as possible to avoid delays and a satisfactory response is required prior to commencement on site. -

Thereafter -the Information Pack will be updated by the Principal Contractor to incorporate further hazards identified as work proceeds.


� � �


iv) Duties as Designer, Contractor and/or Principal Contractor.

Where part of the contract involves an element of design and construction, the Principal Contractor should note that Designers’ duties under CDM will apply.

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT - Description and Programme details

1.1.1 Location of site

Edge Lane West Kensington Liverpool Merseyside L7

1.1.2 Nature of construction work to be carried out

1.1.2.1 Summary of construction work to be carried out

The proposed Highway and Environmental improvements, designed and project managed by Mouchel and 2020 Liverpool, will continue the high quality dual two-lane urban boulevard theme along Edge Lane. These high standard environmental improvements will integrate a new highway with better pedestrian facilities at new signalised junctions, soft landscaping, extensive tree planting and the highest quality of public realm. Public art will play an important part of the overall concept and theme of Edge Lane West, which could include sculptures and lighting based artwork. There will be a new communal square at the centre of Edge Lane West, bordered by a mixed use of residential, commercial, educational and community facilities.

The Edge Lane West Project will also require extensive housing clearance and demolition of approximately 371 properties. Currently these will be delivered under a separate contract being procured by Liverpool City Council, but it will be necessary for the approximate 125 highway affected frontage properties to be demolished and cleared by the Highway Contractor, in advance.

A major part of the highway works will be the extensive diversion of Utilities apparatus. Currently these are estimated at £2.5M and taking upwards of three months to complete at the beginning of the construction programme. The successful Contractor will be required to coordinate all Utilities activities, with orders to be placed directly by the Council.

1.1.2.2 Notification to the Health and Safety Executive

Initial notification of the Project has been made by the CDM Coordinator. The CDM Coordinator will


� � �


notify the appointment of the Principal Contractor following the award of the Contract. On award of the Contract, the Principal Contractor shall provide the following information to the CDM Coordinator to enable him to complete the notification to the HSE:

i) Name and address of the Principal Contractor

ii) A declaration on Form 10 (Rev) signed by or on behalf of the Principal Contractor that he has been appointed as such

iii) Date Planned for the start of the construction phase

iv) Planned duration of the construction phase

v) The estimated maximum number of people carrying out construction work on the site at any one time

vi) Planned number of Contractors on the construction site (if known).

vii) Name(s) and address(es) of any Contractor(s) already chosen

1.1.3 Timescale for completion of the construction work

1.1.3.1 The programme for the proposed construction works is to be developed by the Principal Contractor, The Client and the Designer during the proposed ECI stage of this Contract.

It is a requirement of this Information Pack that the programme proposed for the construction works must demonstrate the adequate allocation of competent and adequate resources. Reference should be made to the Preliminaries and the Principal Contractors requirements.

1.1.3.2 The proposed works will be delivered under one single phases, with demolitions and utilities diversions being front end activities. This will be followed by the main works contract, with accommodation works to existing boundaries, main carriageway highway works, junction improvements and School Lane Link Road. It is envisaged for construction purposes that the length of Edge Lane West will be divided into manageable sections ie. between and Botanic Road and Holt Road junction, Holt Road to Jubilee Drive, etc.

1.1.3.3 The Principal Contractor is required to determine the resources he will require to sufficiently develop the details of the Information Pack and propose any alteration to the above periods to allow for this.

Equally, in proposing the programme for the construction works, the Principal Contractor must include and illustrate the allocation of resources for all Health and Safety concerns.

3.1.7 Environmental Restrictions and Existing On-Site Risks - Health Hazards

The Principal Contractor must provide (if appropriate) a list of materials or substances with significant Health and Safety hazards or risks

The Contractor will select appropriate materials as part of any Contractors design and must satisfy himself that he is aware of all precautionary information that suppliers are, by law, required to provide.

Other products contained in the tender documents such as cement and oil based paint, will require specific precautionary measures but are considered to be in common usage in the construction industry and therefore it is deemed unnecessary to specifically draw these to the Contractors attention. However, the Contractor should ensure that the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2004 (COSHH) are fulfilled.

The Contractor is required to carry out a COSHH Assessment for all substances used in the execution of the project, this will include where appropriate a consideration of dusts and fumes created by the construction operations. Records of the assessment and monitoring of safeguards must be maintained by the Contractor.

4.1 SIGNIFICANT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION HAZARDS

4.1.1 Principles of design: precautions and sequences to be observed during construction

4.1.1.1 The general precautions and sequences to be observed during construction, where necessary, have been incorporated by the Designer within the hazard elimination sheets. These are included in Appendix B.

4.1.1.2 In addition to the precautions and sequences referred to above, the information below is included to assist the Principal Contractor in assessing their Health and Safety requirements.

4.1.2 Operations requiring Principal Contractor's Method Statement


� � �


The Principal Contractor is required by current legislation (Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999) to identify hazards, assess the risks and where appropriate, prepare method statements, for all operations during construction in order to eliminate, minimise or control risks.

Where it was considered appropriate, individual design disciplines have indicated on their risk assessments that the Principal Contractor must prepare a method statement for a specific activity. These are detailed below and in Appendix B if included.

The Principal Contractor must prepare initial method statements for the following works/activities:

i. Traffic management plan and phasing ii. Demolition sequence iii. Methods for reducing the levels of noise and dust iv. Competence of site operatives v. Asbestos removal

The Principal Contractor must ensure that a management system is in place to approve S/C method statements prior to relevant activities being undertaken on site and that these are incorporated into the construction phase Health and Safety Plan.

4.1.3 Construction materials

Hazards associated with specific materials and the controls required to minimise risk are dealt with in final section concerning Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis and detailed in Appendix B if included.

4.1.4 Co-ordination of future design work

4.1.4.1 Arrangements should be in place to deal with on-going design work and handling any resulting changes to the design.

4.1.4.2 Overview of Procedures

Arrangements to facilitate ongoing communication and liaison between all parties will need to be established. Construction and design team meetings are to be held at regular intervals throughout the duration of the project. The meetings will cover developing design issues and changes during the construction phase.

4.1.5 Hazard identification and elimination

4.1.5.1 Hazard identification checklists

The checklists identify the most commonly occurring hazards associated with the activity/elements of design listed, and need to be read together with the hazard elimination sheets.

The Principal Contractor is required to carry out a detailed hazard identification exercise to state required controls, provide necessary method statements and incorporate these into the construction phase Health and Safety Plan.

4.1.5.2 Overview of Risks and Control Measures

The significant hazards, risks and/or their resultant control measures are contained with the hazard elimination sheets. These have been identified by the Designers as a risk to construction workers Health and Safety, which have not reasonably been practicable to eliminate by design.

4.1.5.3 Hazard elimination sheets

The elimination sheets take into consideration previously identified hazards, assess the severity of the risk and where appropriate indicate the consideration given by Designers to Health and Safety. The Principal Contractor is required to fully address the issue of risk analysis in developing the Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan.


� � �


The Principal Contractor must allow adequate resources and time in his tender for dealing with the risks indicated.
