Chris Withers Managing Safely Project

IOSH Managing Safely
IOSH Managing Safely - Project
Introduction
As part of the Managing Safely course, you have to complete a project and have it
assessed. You will be expected to carry out a risk assessment based on your own
work environment. You need to record the results on the attached sheets and submit
them for marking. Do not submit any additional material in support of your project work
as only the six parts of the project will be assessed. The project can be word
processed or hand written.
When you have completed your work you can upload it via the “Upload Your Project”
section of the IOSH Managing Safely course, or you can post it to:

Instructions
Please read all of the instructions before starting work on your project.
The project is broken down into a number of parts. Please complete each section as
detailed below.
Part 1 - description of the work tasks that are your responsibility
Record a brief description of all the work tasks within your work environment including:
 Description/labelled sketch of the location(s).
 People who work in or visit the area on a regular basis or from time to time.
(Think about the different groups of people who may be in the area and how
often they might be there).
 Permanent and temporary items of equipment and substances.
 Activities carried out within your work environment.
Part 2 - a hazard checklist of the location(s)
Record a brief description of three location hazards that may arise in your work
environment. For example, car park, stairs, uneven floor. For each of these hazards
please include:
 A description of the location.
 A description of the hazard – in relation to the location.
 The number and occupation of people who could be affected by the hazard – in
relation to the location.
 Whether a risk assessment is recommended.
Part 3 - a hazard checklist of permanent and/or temporary items of equipment
and substances used in your work environment
Record a brief description of three hazards that may arise from equipment or
substances used. For each of these hazards please include:
 A description of permanent and/or temporary items of equipment and
substances used.
 A description of the hazard – in relation to the equipment/substance.
relation to the equipment/substance.

 Whether a risk assessment is recommended.
Part 4 - a hazard checklist of the activities carried out within your work
environment
Record a brief description of three hazards that may arise from within your work
environment. For each of these hazards please include:
 A description of the work activity.
 A description of the hazard – in relation to the work activity.
relation to the work activity.
Note: for the purpose of this exercise all three activity hazards that you are
assessing on part 4 must require a risk assessment.
Part 5 - carrying out a risk assessment
Please carry out a risk assessment on all three of the activity hazards you have listed
on part 4. Please make sure you include:
 A description of the work activity.
 A description of the hazard, hazardous event and expected consequence – in
relation to the work activity.
 The number and occupation of people affected – in relation to the work activity.
 An assessment of risk (please use the 5 x 5 matrix) – in relation to the work
activity.
 Whether risk controls are required.
Note: for the purpose of this exercise all three activity hazards that you are
assessing on part 5 must require risk controls.
Part 6 - risk control recommendations
Please complete the risk control form for all three activity hazards you have listed on
part 4. Please make sure you include:
 A description of the work activity and risk level from the risk assessment.
 Existing risk controls.
 Any further risk controls required – in relation to the work activity.
 The residual risk (please use the 5 x 5 matrix) – in relation to the work activity.

 A description of the type of monitoring required and how often – in relation to the
residual risk.
Note: where you have large numbers of hazards in your work environment you will not
have space to record them all. In these circumstances, select a representative sample
of hazards for the purposes of this project and record only these. Remember that only
three hazards are required for parts 2, 3, and 4.
Each part has a maximum number of marks which can be awarded and details are
given in the table below:
Part Maximum marks
1 18
2 16
3 16
4 13
5 30
6 30
Total 123
Minimum mark 62
Finally, before returning your project, check that your name, the end of course date, the
name of your company, the site name and the name of your training provider are
recorded on the first sheet.
Please also ensure that you sign each sheet to confirm that the work you submit is your
own.
Please note: the small square boxes in the bottom right hand corner of each
section on parts 2 to 6 are for the markers use only.

Company: K.c.t Energy Site Name: South coast offshore
wind farm
Training provider:Santia Training Services
A description / sketch of the location(s)
The location is offshore wind farm based on the south coast of England asset location is H09
distance approximately 12 kilometres off the Brighton coast line.
Confined
space
The confined space will be in side the monapile just above sea level and we will be working on a
platform that's in the monepile, access to the turbine and different levels on the tp will be by
ladder all personnel to where harness and correct ppe.
A description of the people who work in or visit the area on a regular basis or from
time to time.
The team consists of one supervisor who will supervise the work,
One client rep who will monitor the work,
One top man who will monitor gas detectors and personnel log data board for confined space
entry
4 bolting technicians to carry out the proposed work
Maximum of 3 personnel to work in confined space, there will be no one else present on the
offshore installation.
There will be a captain and deck hand present on the support vessel who will support us.
There will be further contractors to visit the asset when they are required for further
installation work. Not while our work is carried out.

A description of permanent and temporary pieces of equipment and substances
used in your work environment
All work will be carried out inside a confined space within the monopile of an offshore wind
turbine foundation. equipment being used,
hydraulic tension heads
hydraulic hoses
pneumatic compressor
emergency escape sets
gas detectors
rigging of electric ventilation system
Tp davit crane
Portable davit crane
pulley systems
compressed air
hydraulic fluid.
Generators
compressor
ladders
inertia reel
communication radios
Transport all equipment from boat to offshore installation using tp davit crane (lifting
operations)
We will be running 13 tension heads on 13 bolts that will be connected via hydraulic hoses and
daisy chained in a 1-7 sequence around the monapile, the heads will be functioned by the
pneumatic compressor which will feed hydraulic oil too each head to tension each bolt, the
ventilation system will be put in place to extract any UN-wanted gases and too feed fresh air
into the confined space. Escapes sets too provide fresh air in case of evacuation or rescue. also
having 4 gas detectors to monitor the atmosphere to detect any gases (top man). We will also
have too rig a portable davit crane to lift equipment within the turbine foundations, fall arrest
systems will be put in place above each ladder too prevent any falls from height,
Marks
allocated

A description of the activities carried out within your work environment
Before transferring from boat too offshore installation all equipment must be rigged ready for
lifting.
The generator must be powered up, one technician too stay on vessel too assit deckhand with
lift operations.
All other technicians transfer to offshore installation.
We use power from the boat to operate tp davit crane.
All equipment too be lifted from support vessel using tp davit crane and use pully system if
needed.
Set up of portable davit crane and ventilation system for confined space entry.
Test the confined space area for gases and o2 levels.
Once safe too enter then crane all tension heads, compressor, lighting, and evacuation sets too
confined space area. Ready for tensioning tp bolts.
Monitoring the atmosphere for gases every 15 minutes taking regular intervals to avoid any
long periods of time in confined area.
Working at height will have too be done from transferring too different levels within the the
turbine foundations,
