During the month of March, CField carried out a focused campaign on dust management and respiratory diseases across sites in the UK and Ireland. The EHS teams, along with site management and contractor teams engaged in several training exercises including dust management training sessions, toolbox talks, site walks and a poster campaign. Topics covered included:
• Dust suppression including water suppression and vacuum attachments
• Reduction of dust generating activities onsite by improved planning and cutting off site
• Dust capture devices
• PPE including correct face mask selection & face fit testing
It is imperative that all construction works are managed through the risk assessment process and initiatives during the month included a strong focus on the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH). The EHS teams visited several sites including Carrigtwohill, Ballyvolane, Bandon, Chatterton Hall, EPH and Watergrasshill in Ireland and Beresford Street, Guilford Plaza & the Rex in the UK.
CField would like to thank all those who engaged with this very important subject matter including the site management teams, contractor supervisors and operatives onsite.
Well done everyone!
