Regulations for the prevention of accidents
Applies to:
Great Britain
When carrying out works such as solar installation work it is
necessary to do so in a safe and workman like manner, tak-
ing due care of any aspects of the works that could result in
injuries to person in or about the building as well as workers,
passers by and the general public at large. To that end these
works must conform, but not be limited to, the current regula-
tions in force such as the following:
–
Health and Safety at Work act 1974
–
Work at Height Regulations 2005
–
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
–
All necessary Building Regulations
Work should be preceded by a risk assessment covering all
aspects of health and safety risks, or training requirements
that can reasonably be foreseen to be associated with the
work. All scaffolding in the UK, other than prefabricated (zip-
up) scaffold towers, must be designed and constructed by a
vetted contractor, and have suitable kick boards, hand rails
and where appropriate netting. Areas around the scaffolding
should be zoned off and marked with suitable warning signs
to a suitable distance to protect persons from falling objects.
Workers should have available and use personal protect-
ive equipment as necessary. This would include equipment
such as fall protection systems, safety gloves, goggles, dust
masks as well as any specialised equipment that may be in
use such as lifting and handling equipment.
The completed works shall comply with all necessary BS EN
Standards and Codes of practice as well as Building control
or planning requirements and be confirmed where necessary
by notification to building control or the appropriate compet-
ence based notification body.
