All debris, rubbish & trip hazards are to be removed from the work area prior to the
work commencing.
If other trades are working within the property they must be advised as to the work

The basics are to be checked by the operative prior to starting work i.e. that proper
access is available, handrails are in place, no missing boards etc.
•
If other trades are working within the property they must be advised of the work activities
that are about to commence.
•
To reduce the risk to injury from the direct results of a fall from height ensure that
adequate protection is given against a fall whilst installing flooring etc, the Principle
Contractor must provided a suitable fall prevention/arrest/mitigation system, this can be
provided in one of three ways, these being: soft landing bean bag or air bag systems
installed by competent persons in line with the manufacturers instructions and training.
The physical precautions for work at height are the responsibility of the principal
contractor but operatives must ensure these things are in place prior to starting work.
•
Adequate lighting is to be provided by the Principle Contactor for the various activities
which will be conducted in the unit.
•
Operatives using solvent based adhesives are to be familiar with the relevant COSHH
data sheet for the product they will be using as per the manufactures instructions, using
the correct (PPE) and (RPE) required Personal Protective Equipment and Respiratory
Protective Equipment. All PPE & RPE is maintained as set out in the Personal
Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992
First Fix Carpentry
Operatives are required to load all materials e.g. Stairs, floorboards, studwork, linings,
window boards & sundries. These materials will be deposited outside the relevant plot by
mechanical means, supplied by the principle contractor with an operator in a safe and
systematic manner, on level ground.
Method of work
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Edge Protection to stairwells is to be maintained at all times
Staircases will be lifted into position in the relevant stairwell and fixed by two or more
operatives to allow for the weighty nature of these items
Herringbone strutting will be fixed between the joists securely as the plan indicates and
also secure perimeter noggins.
Floorboards will be carried up the secure flight of stairs and fixed to the joists in a safe
and systematic manner only after a temporary handrail has been constructed around the
stairwell.
On completion of the full laying of the floorboards, ceiling noggins will be fixed to the
ceiling joists of the roof trusses properly spaced to receive the plasterboard ceiling.
Stud framework will be made in accordance with the relevant plans on the floor and two
operatives will then raise the framework into position and fix.
Alternatively the studwork framework will be constructed by one operative.
The groundwork studwork will be constructed as above.
Linings will be made up by one operative and fixed securely by into the door openings
External doors will then be hung
Window boards will be fixed securely into the window openings
All these works will proceed throughout with off-cuts of timber and shavings being cleared
and deposited in waste skips at regular intervals to avoid hazards to prevent accidents
occurring.
All portable tools to be either battery operated or have power from 110v generator and
maintained in accordance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.
The removed rubbish / debris is to be deposited in the waste skips / area provided by the

with the manufacturers instructions and training or a birdcage scaffold erected by a
specialist contractor. The safety physical precautions for work at height are the
responsibility of the principal contractor but operatives must ensure these things are in
place prior to starting work.
Placement of trusses
•
The Roof Trusses will be the responsibility of the principal contractor until they are placed
on the wall plate by mechanical means. The lifting operations used to achieve this are
not under the control of MJ Stevens. The principal contractor will arrange lifting
appliances, lifting plan, slingers, signallers etc. Using mechanical means in this way will
drastically reducing the manual handling operations required to complete the task.
•
When installing the Roof Trusses it is possible that the operatives are required to stand
on the truss edge or at the wall plate position, this may cause the operative to be above
the level of the edge protection on the scaffold. It may therefore be necessary for
additional guard rails to be constructed to protect the operative against the risks to falls.
If this is the case a competent scaffolder is to make the alterations (arranged by the
principal contractor).
•
All operatives will be trained in the installation of Roof Trusses and hold CSCS cards
•
The removed rubbish / debris is to be deposited in the waste skips / area provided by the
Principle Contractor no throwing or dropping of materials or waste from height is
permitted.
•
The Principal contractor is to make arrangements for materials and tools to be delivered
to the scaffold via a loading bay, hoist or similar Do Not carry any tools or materials up or
down ladders.
•
If there is any doubt over safety precautions at the location or if weather conditions are
safe to continue the supervisor is to be contacted immediately.
The truss roof will be installed in the following sequence:
1. Before you start work ensure: fall protection is in place, scaffold is erected to the correct
height, access to and from the work area is safe, all PPE and equipment required is on
site and in good condition, the method of work is understood, you have been inducted
and you are aware of the site procedures for fire etc and the right personnel are on site to
complete the work safely
2. When on the scaffold stand well clear while the trusses are guided into position and do
not attempt to lift them into place manually.
3. The first truss will be lifted into place, aligned and then fixed using battens to the scaffold
structure
4. With two operatives one on each side of the roof, working together and starting at one
side, walk the trusses into the correct position for fixing one at a time and secured to the
previous one ensuring the structure remains solid at all times. Fix using a nail gun (if you
have been trained to use one) or a hammer & nails.
5. Wind bracing is to be installed as the roof progresses.
6. When it is time to access the inside of the truss structure, ensure a good platform is
placed on the trusses to provide a good footing DO NOT walk on the trusses themselves.
7. When all the trusses are in place the battens holding the end trusses are then to be
removed.
8. Trim off the trusses if required and make any other final adjustments needed.
9. Ensure the work area is left in a clean and tidy condition for the next trade.

Electric Shock
This hazard and has been the cause of many fatalities. A number of factors affect the severity
of electric shock. The actual harm depends on the current flowing through the body and
particularly the heart. This is affected, however, by voltage, the resistance of the internal
organs (dry skin – high: organs - low) the type of current (A.C or D.C) the current pathway
through the body, the duration of the current flow and the surface area of contact. The
concept of ‘let-go’ currents’ is important here. Let-go currents is defined as ‘the maximum
D.C. current a person can tolerate when holding an electrode and still let go using muscles
stimulated by the shock’. Average let-go currents are 16.0mA for men and 10.5mA for
women. A current of only 10mA passing through the heart can cause a serious effect on it
depending on the duration of the flow. At higher currents, ventricular fibrillation (heart ‘flutter’)
can set in, until at 100mA cessation of the heart beat altogether is the likely result.

•
The work area (the render adapted scaffolding), the area beneath and around the plot are
to be free of other trades, visitors and site staff.
•
All debris, rubbish & trip hazards are to be removed from the work area prior to the work
commencing in particular the scaffold structure.
•
Site operatives are to ensure that the Principle Contractor has inspected the scaffold
structure in line with the requirements set out in the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
The basics are to be checked by the operative prior to starting work i.e. that proper
access is available, handrails are in place, no missing boards etc.
•
All scaffolds are to be render adapted to allow for application of render from a stable
working platform, no standing on trestle platforms or stepladders etc placed on the
scaffold to gain extra height is permitted.
•
Scaffolds are to be adapted by specialist contractor prior to work commencing in order to
allow for access to the wall. This means a gap will be present on the inside of the
scaffold. Operatives are to check that this gap is not excessive prior to starting work.

specialist contractor. The physical safety precautions for work at height are the
responsibility of the principal contractor but operatives must ensure these things are in
place prior to starting work.
Placement of trusses
•
The Roof Trusses will be the responsibility of the principal contractor until they are placed
on the wall plate by mechanical means. The lifting operations used to achieve this are
not under the control of MJ Stevens. The principal contractor will arrange lifting
appliances, lifting plan, slingers, signallers etc. Using mechanical means in this way will
drastically reduce the manual handling operations required to complete the task.
•
When installing the Roof Trusses it is possible that the operatives may be required to
stand on the truss edge or at the wall plate position, this could cause the operative to be
above the level of the edge protection on the scaffold. It may therefore be necessary for
additional guard rails to be constructed to protect the operative against the risks to falls.
If this is the case a competent scaffolder is to make the alterations (arranged by the
principal contractor).
•
All operatives will be trained in the installation of Roof Trusses and hold CSCS cards
•
The removed rubbish / debris is to be deposited in the waste skips / area provided by the
Principle Contractor no throwing or dropping of materials or waste from height is
permitted.
•
The Principal contractor is to make arrangements for materials and tools to be delivered
to the scaffold via a loading bay, hoist or similar Do Not carry any tools or materials up or
down ladders.
•
If there is any doubt over safety precautions at the location or if weather conditions are
safe to continue the supervisor is to be contacted immediately.
•
The truss roof will be installed in the following sequence:
1. Before you start work ensure: fall protection is in place, scaffold is erected to the correct
height, access to and from the work area is safe, all PPE and equipment required is on
site and in good condition, the method of work is understood, you have been inducted
and you are aware of the site procedures for fire etc and the right personnel are on site to
complete the work safely
2. When on the scaffold stand well clear while the trusses are guided into position and do
not attempt to lift them into place manually.
3. The first truss will be lifted into place, aligned and then fixed using battens to the scaffold
structure
4. With two operatives one on each side of the roof, working together and starting at one
side, walk the trusses into the correct position for fixing one at a time and secured to the
previous one ensuring the structure remains solid at all times. Fix using a nail gun (if you
have been trained to use one) or a hammer & nails.
5. Wind bracing is to be installed as the roof progresses.
6. When it is time to access the inside of the truss structure, ensure a good platform is
placed on the trusses to provide a good footing DO NOT walk on the trusses themselves.
7. When all the trusses are in place the battens holding the end trusses are then to be
removed.
8. Trim off the trusses if required and make any other final adjustments needed.
9. The flooring is then to be fixed into position, beginning at a convenient corner of the plot
the first board will be fixed into place. This will then serve as a solid working platform for
the next. Each board will then be placed, glued and nailed into place following the same
precautions until the floor is complete. Ensure that the fall protection is still in place until
the floor is complete and the stair opening protected.
10. If a “top hat” is top be fitted to the structure this must be lifted into place by mechanical
means following the same procedure as for the main trusses.
11. When accessing the top of the roof structure to secure top hats a solid working platform
is required to gain access (Step ladders are not acceptable).
12. Stud work sections and finishing of the roof structure can then take place from a safe
working platform

1. Before you start work ensure: fall protection is in place, scaffold is erected to the correct
height, access to and from the work area is safe, all PPE and equipment required is on
site and in good condition, the method of work is understood, you have been inducted
and you are aware of the site procedures for fire etc and the right personnel are on site to
complete the work safely
2. When on the scaffold stand well clear while the trusses are guided into position and do
not attempt to lift them into place manually.
3. The first truss will be lifted into place, aligned and then fixed using battens to the scaffold
structure
4. With two operatives one on each side of the roof, working together and starting at one
side, walk the trusses into the correct position for fixing one at a time and secured to the
previous one ensuring the structure remains solid at all times. Fix using a nail gun (if you
have been trained to use one) or a hammer & nails.
5. Wind bracing is to be installed as the roof progresses.
6. When it is time to access the inside of the truss structure, ensure a good platform is
placed on the trusses to provide a good footing DO NOT walk on the trusses themselves.
7. When all the trusses are in place the battens holding the end trusses are then to be
removed.
8. Trim off the trusses if required and make any other final adjustments needed.
9. The flooring is then to be fixed into position, beginning at a convenient corner of the plot
the first board will be fixed into place. This will then serve as a solid working platform for
the next. Each board will then be placed, glued and nailed into place following the same
precautions until the floor is complete. Ensure that the fall protection is still in place until
the floor is complete and the stair opening protected.
10. If a “top hat” is top be fitted to the structure this must be lifted into place by mechanical
means following the same procedure as for the main trusses.
11. When accessing the top of the roof structure to secure top hats a solid working platform
is required to gain access (Step ladders are not acceptable).
12. Stud work sections and finishing of the roof structure can then take place from a safe
working platform

•
•
The types of loads planned to be lifted, their size & weight.
The position of the loads to be lifted in relation to the location of each work areas.
•
•
•
•
The Slingers/Signallers requirements in order to plan the safest system of work.
The on-site crane’s position in relation to the safe working length of the cranes boom and
each load to be lifted.
The site’s ground conditions, locations of services, external factors.
Access to and around the site and the individual plots.
The initial survey will be reviewed throughout the project and revised as necessary if
conditions change following consultation and approval of the appointed person.
The lift supervisor (provided by the principle contractor) will inspect documentation relating to
the maintenance and operation of the crane, including all test and thorough examination
certificates, before any lifting operations commence.
All involved in lifting operations will wear high visibility clothing. An orange high visibility jacket
will identify the Slingers/Signallers.
Items to Be Lifted
Wall Panels = manufactured internal and external wall panels up to a maximum size of 7
metres long by 2.5 metres high weighing a maximum of 1000 kgs (1 tonne) each.
Timber Beams & Structural Steelwork = Supplied floor or roof supporting sections not
exceeding a maximum weight of 1000kgs (1 tonne) each.
Floor Cassettes = manufactured floor cassettes up to a maximum size of 13.6 metres long
by 2.5 metres wide and 400mm deep, weighing a maximum of 1500 kgs (1.5 tonne) each.
Bay Window Panels = manufactured wall units incorporating glazed bay windows up to a
maximum size of 3 metres wide by 2.5 metres high weighing a maximum of 1000 kgs (1
tonne) each.
Under NO circumstances can any other item of equipment be lifted without prior
authorisation from the Lifting Supervisor or Appointed Person.
2. Crane Set Up
The crane will be driven onto the site and manoeuvred into the operating position detailed on
the crane layout drawing. The crane will then be set up in accordance with the crane
manufacturer’s manual, during which time the Principal Contractor will ensure that all noninvolved personnel are kept out of the assembly work area.
Access to the blind side of the crane will not be permitted at any time. Temporary barriers will
be positioned by the principle contractor to the whole lift area to prevent unauthorised access.
If the situation arises where an entrapment area of less than 600mm cannot be avoided, then
the potential entrapment area shall be fenced off to totally prevent access to that area.
3. Adverse Weather Conditions
The Lifting Supervisor and Crane Operator (both provided by the principle contractor) will
monitor the weather conditions continuously to ensure that it is safe to continue lifting
operations. The wind speed at which the crane must cease operation is clearly stated in the
manufacturer’s manual and must not be exceeded. It is the combined decision of the Crane
Operator and the Lifting Supervisor if the work should be stopped below this limit due to local
circumstances.
Any storm in the distance must be monitored to decide if it may pose a threat within the
timeframe of the lifting operations. No lifting operations can continue when there is a
lightning storm in the vicinity.
If there is any risk of lightning in the vicinity, the crane operator must leave the crane after
applying the conditions detailed above.

If there is any risk of lightning in the vicinity, the crane operator must leave the crane after
applying the conditions detailed above.
A full, detailed lifting plan is to be prepared by the Appointed Person (provided by the
principle contractor) prior to any lift activity taking place, M J Stevens operatives will expect to
be briefed on the lifting plan by the principle contractor prior to commencing the construction
of the timber frame unit.
4. Foundation & Provision of Scaffolding
The Principal Contractor will be responsible for:
•
•
•
•
All ground works and foundations prepared and inspected by “others”.
Sectional roof constructed on ground floor foundation by “others”.
External freestanding scaffold structure erected to an approved design by others.
Provision and control of the lift via mechanical means.
ERECTING AND PLACING OF GROUND FLOOR WALL PANELS
5. Assembling & fixing ground floor wall panels
When scaffolding is to be used, the assembly of the wall panels will not commence until the
perimeter scaffold structure has been completed inspected and an entry made into the site
Scaffold Register by the Principal Contractor.
The principle contractor will have completed a “Pre-Assembly Safety Checklist” for the
specific plot/s and ensure full compliance, arranging necessary works to rectify any shortfalls
or concerns prior to our erection team commencing any work in those areas.
When a sectional roof has been constructed on the foundation, the roof sections must first be
lifted off the slab to a designated temporary storage area prior to our erection team
commencing any task. The foundation must be cleared and then visually inspected including
the condition of the perimeter DPC before any sealant is applied.
•
The thermally insulated external wall panels (approximate size 6.8 metres x 2.6 metres)
will first be selected and then lifted individually from the storage stillages and placed into
position on the foundation within the work area.
•
Suitable slings will be attached to the wall panels using a pair of NXR panel clamps (SWL
500kgs each).
•
Some external wall panels in the stillage are described as “multi-walls” and may consist
of two or more individual wall elements that must be cut before handling and fixing.
External “multiwall”panels are not to be lifted into the work area as a whole unit.
•
The Assembly Team will provide and use suitable ladders to enable them to reach the
top of panels in the stillage. Access is required to separate the multi-wall panels into
smaller units using handsaws and attach lifting equipment to each section. Panel
sections must be supported on blocks before
•
Cutting any timber plates to avoid panels becoming unstable and tipping on the
stillage bearers.
•
Panel lifting operations must not commence whilst operatives are standing between
panels in the storage stillage.
•
Guide ropes to be attached as per standard operation to assist in controlling the load
during lifting and handling over the scaffolding.
•
Whenever possible, the wall panels will be “walked” towards the work area at low level to
maintain maximum control and then raised to the appropriate floor level by lifting up and
over the scaffolding.
A full, detailed lifting plan is to be prepared by the Appointed Person (provided by the
principle contractor) prior to any lift activity taking place, M J Stevens operatives will expect to
be briefed on the lifting plan by the principle contractor prior to commencing the construction
of the timber frame unit.
4. Foundation & Provision of Scaffolding
The Principal Contractor will be responsible for:
•
•
•
•
All ground works and foundations prepared and inspected by “others”.
Sectional roof constructed on ground floor foundation by “others”.
External freestanding scaffold structure erected to an approved design by others.
Provision and control of the lift via mechanical means.
ERECTING AND PLACING OF GROUND FLOOR WALL PANELS
5. Assembling & fixing ground floor wall panels
When scaffolding is to be used, the assembly of the wall panels will not commence until the
perimeter scaffold structure has been completed inspected and an entry made into the site
Scaffold Register by the Principal Contractor.
The principle contractor will have completed a “Pre-Assembly Safety Checklist” for the
specific plot/s and ensure full compliance, arranging necessary works to rectify any shortfalls
or concerns prior to our erection team commencing any work in those areas.
When a sectional roof has been constructed on the foundation, the roof sections must first be
lifted off the slab to a designated temporary storage area prior to our erection team
commencing any task. The foundation must be cleared and then visually inspected including
the condition of the perimeter DPC before any sealant is applied.
•
The thermally insulated external wall panels (approximate size 6.8 metres x 2.6 metres)
will first be selected and then lifted individually from the storage stillages and placed into
position on the foundation within the work area.
•
Suitable slings will be attached to the wall panels using a pair of NXR panel clamps (SWL
500kgs each).
•
Some external wall panels in the stillage are described as “multi-walls” and may consist
of two or more individual wall elements that must be cut before handling and fixing.
External “multiwall”panels are not to be lifted into the work area as a whole unit.
•
The Assembly Team will provide and use suitable ladders to enable them to reach the
top of panels in the stillage. Access is required to separate the multi-wall panels into
smaller units using handsaws and attach lifting equipment to each section. Panel
sections must be supported on blocks before
•
Cutting any timber plates to avoid panels becoming unstable and tipping on the
stillage bearers.
•
Panel lifting operations must not commence whilst operatives are standing between
panels in the storage stillage.
•
Guide ropes to be attached as per standard operation to assist in controlling the load
during lifting and handling over the scaffolding.
•
Whenever possible, the wall panels will be “walked” towards the work area at low level to
maintain maximum control and then raised to the appropriate floor level by lifting up and
over the scaffolding.
•
The panels will be lifted sequentially into the work area and positioned using the crane
and lifting equipment provide. The assembly will commence at one corner of the
foundation and work away progressively from that point.
•
Using a cartridge applicator, sealant mastic will be applied by hand to the external DPC
and each vertical joint between external wall panels to create an effective seal.
•
Individual panels will be temporarily supported – until securely fixed – using adjustable
support braces placed between the ground floor slab and the top of the panel. When
more than one support is required they will be set at centres no more than 2.6 metres
around the perimeter.
•
External panels are secured and joined at vertical joints along the inside edge with screw
or nail fixings using power tools in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.
•
The work will progress by systematically assembling and fixing adjacent external panels
and corners working across the foundation toward the access gap and incorporating
internal load bearing panels as scheduled.
•
The assembly will continue until all ground floors external walls are permanently
positioned and all internal load bearing walls have been installed and fixed to support the
floor cassettes.
•
From time to time the construction will be quality checked using tapes, line and squares
including:
o
o
o
Dimensional checks.
Walls – plumb & square.
Straightness of external walls.
•
If non-load bearing internal wall panels are supplied they may be loaded into the unit,
sorted and stored, to be fixed at a later stage. Wall panels adjoining stairwell areas can
be temporarily fixed to allow later adjustment to align through into upper floors through
the stair opening when the floor cassettes have been fitted.
•
When required by the house design, “pockets” are to be cut out on site (usually along the
top edge of the panels) at designated positions to receive timber or steel beams. The
beams will then be lifted into position using slings or chains and fixed in accordance with
the standard process operation.
•
Bay window units will normally be delivered on the same load as the floor cassettes and
comprise a prefabricated panel unit with the glazed window unit fitted.
The unit complete is to be lifted into position using the threaded lifting rods supplied. If
the rods are damaged, the units can be lifted alternatively by slinging through open
casements but care must be taken to avoid damage to the window frames and units.
•
On completion of the external ground floor structure, the shell will be secured by screw
fixings to pairs of steel restraining straps built into each corner of the foundation and
positioned as specified on the client’s foundation drawing.
•
All internal load bearing ground floor panels will be fixed to the foundation slab through
the bottom place using hammer fixings put into holes drilled with a percussion drill.
•
All external joints in the cement particleboard (wider than 3.0mm) around the outside of
the walls are to be sealed with mastic sealant using the cartridge gun.
6. Fitting Floor Cassettes
When all necessary panel work has been completed on the level below, work installing the
floor cassettes will commence. Each cassette can be lifted directly off the delivery lorry by
crane under the guidance of the Slingers/Signallers and onto the assembled ground floor or
second floor structure.
•
The panels will be lifted sequentially into the work area and positioned using the crane
and lifting equipment provide. The assembly will commence at one corner of the
foundation and work away progressively from that point.
•
Using a cartridge applicator, sealant mastic will be applied by hand to the external DPC
and each vertical joint between external wall panels to create an effective seal.
•
Individual panels will be temporarily supported – until securely fixed – using adjustable
support braces placed between the ground floor slab and the top of the panel. When
more than one support is required they will be set at centres no more than 2.6 metres
around the perimeter.
•
External panels are secured and joined at vertical joints along the inside edge with screw
or nail fixings using power tools in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.
•
The work will progress by systematically assembling and fixing adjacent external panels
and corners working across the foundation toward the access gap and incorporating
internal load bearing panels as scheduled.
•
The assembly will continue until all ground floors external walls are permanently
positioned and all internal load bearing walls have been installed and fixed to support the
floor cassettes.
•
From time to time the construction will be quality checked using tapes, line and squares
including:
o
o
o
Dimensional checks.
Walls – plumb & square.
Straightness of external walls.
•
If non-load bearing internal wall panels are supplied they may be loaded into the unit,
sorted and stored, to be fixed at a later stage. Wall panels adjoining stairwell areas can
be temporarily fixed to allow later adjustment to align through into upper floors through
the stair opening when the floor cassettes have been fitted.
•
When required by the house design, “pockets” are to be cut out on site (usually along the
top edge of the panels) at designated positions to receive timber or steel beams. The
beams will then be lifted into position using slings or chains and fixed in accordance with
the standard process operation.
•
Bay window units will normally be delivered on the same load as the floor cassettes and
comprise a prefabricated panel unit with the glazed window unit fitted.
The unit complete is to be lifted into position using the threaded lifting rods supplied. If
the rods are damaged, the units can be lifted alternatively by slinging through open
casements but care must be taken to avoid damage to the window frames and units.
•
On completion of the external ground floor structure, the shell will be secured by screw
fixings to pairs of steel restraining straps built into each corner of the foundation and
positioned as specified on the client’s foundation drawing.
•
All internal load bearing ground floor panels will be fixed to the foundation slab through
the bottom place using hammer fixings put into holes drilled with a percussion drill.
•
All external joints in the cement particleboard (wider than 3.0mm) around the outside of
the walls are to be sealed with mastic sealant using the cartridge gun.
6. Fitting Floor Cassettes
When all necessary panel work has been completed on the level below, work installing the
floor cassettes will commence. Each cassette can be lifted directly off the delivery lorry by
crane under the guidance of the Slingers/Signallers and onto the assembled ground floor or
second floor structure.
During the unloading process it is necessary for a team member to climb onto the trailer to
attach the lifting device tongs to each of the cassettes. The lorry driver is to advise the correct
method of access using the appropriate step-up points on the trailer unit. If step-up points are
not available, then stepladders set alongside the trailer must be used.
Extreme care is required when moving around and working on the trailer deck.
To make the most stable load for road transportation, cassettes may not be stacked on the
trailer in the correct assembly sequence. It may be necessary to first unload a number of
cassettes from the lorry and temporarily “set them aside” on suitable ground to get access to
the required cassette. When necessary the Team Leader will advise the Site Manager/Agent
if the only available space falls outside the designated work area. Barriers or fencing will be
repositioned as necessary to restrict access during the lifting operations.
To reduce the risk of falling from unprotected edges during the installation and positioning of
the cassettes, team members are not normally required to step onto the floor deck before
completion of the full floor deck. The following section details the method that must be
followed to avoid having to step onto the floor until it is fully in position.
Assembling Floor Cassettes to Make Complete Floors
•
The assembly and fixing of all necessary supporting timber beams and/or steelwork must
be completed before installing the floor cassettes at each level. All hangers must be fully
fixed prior to being covered by the cassette floor deck.
•
Each floor cassette must be unloaded using the mobile crane and lifted to the work area,
keeping the load as low to ground level as possible. A minimum of two guide ropes must
be attached to each cassette to control the load at all times.
•
Suitable chains will be attached to each standard floor cassette usually at four points
using the purpose made equipment designed to be released from below.
•
The Team Leader must monitor the weather conditions throughout the operation.
•
The orientation of the floor cassette should be checked against its intended position of
the plot and, if necessary, turned at low level to “be the right way round” for fixing.
•
The Team Leader must ensure that a minimum of two team members retain contact with
the cassette at all times. The lift must be planned to allow the guide ropes to be
transferred from one operative on the ground to another on the scaffolding. The load
must never be tied to the scaffolding.
•
Operatives are not allowed to stand under the suspended load unless the cassette
is aligned with the wall panels close to its final position and within 300mm from the
top edge of the walls. Entry at this stage must be under the close supervision of the
Team Leader.
•
The wall plate or rim beam of the cassette is designed to be positioned on the top edge of
the top plate or head binder plate of the wall panel and to fit flush with the outside edges
of the cement particleboard on the external walls.
•
To avoid the risk of falling from unprotected edges as the assembly progresses,
whenever possible team members will position the cassettes using the attached guide
ropes whilst working from behind the scaffolding safety handrails around each lift. It is
not permitted to step onto the cassettes without firstly, edge protection barriers or
a “soft landing system” in place.
•
Team operatives can only enter the working area (to make any final adjustments and
make temporary screw fixings) by stepping onto the inner scaffolding boards inside the
handrail when all the cassettes are in such a position that they prevent a potential fall
onto the floor below. Entry at this stage must be under the supervision of the Team
Leader.
During the unloading process it is necessary for a team member to climb onto the trailer to
attach the lifting device tongs to each of the cassettes. The lorry driver is to advise the correct

Leader.
•
Working on incomplete floors some floor designs now require that sections of flooring
are to be made and completed on site “traditionally” using loose joists and sheet decking
materials to infill areas of floor in between factory made floor cassettes.
•
In the event that a cassette collides “heavily” with the scaffolding structure whilst
suspended, the scaffolding must be checked by a competent person before
continuing.
•
One member of the assembly team will detach the lifting equipment from the underside of
each cassette using stepladders when necessary to avoid overreaching. Operatives
must not climb onto the cassettes.
•
If any lifting equipment becomes jammed, or the slings “snagged” and it is necessary to
stop onto a floor cassette to remove the lifting equipment from above, then fixed edge
protection or alternatively a “Soft Landing System” (bean bags or other approved system)
must be positioned under the leading edge(s) and installed according to the supplier’s
instructions.
•
Each step of the process is repeated for the remaining floor cassette sections working to
the fitting sequence.
•
Edge protection barriers and safety rails must be fitted around the stairwell and along all
unprotected edges using the posts and timber (provided by the Principal Contractor)
before the assembly progresses to the next level.
•
Fix and secure floor cassettes at each joint and around the perimeter by the method
detailed in the fixing schedule using screws or nails.
•
When specified on houses higher than two storeys, sockets for scaffolding restraints
must be prepared at designated points details on the site drawing. These must be made
in accordance with the Standard Operating procedures.
•
Preformed flashing or breather fabric must be cut to size, folded and fixed around all
external edges of the floor or rim beams to protect exposed timber & finish external
surfaces.
•
Temporary weather protection, using 500 gauge plastic (provided by the Principal
Contractor) or similar can be fixed along the edge of the floor cassettes above each
opening and trapped under the flashings at bays, chimneys, low level roofs to reduce
water ingress.
•
If the decision is made to suspend assembly work due to/or expected adverse weather
then whenever possible work should stop on completion of a floor, then a tarpaulin can
be fitted to protect the structure from the weather.
Working on Incomplete Floors, the Fixing of “Loose” Joists & Decking Between
Cassettes to Complete Sections of Flooring
•
A “Soft Landing System” (bean bags or other approved system) must be installed in
accordance with the manufacturers/suppliers installation instructions below the area
where the floor section is to be made and before any work at the higher level can start.
•
“Loose” materials will be delivered with the main floor cassette delivery and unloaded by
the Assembly Team using the crane.
•
Beams & joists will usually be supplied in “kits” cut to length and pre-fitted with hangers.
The materials shall be loaded onto completed floor cassettes only and stored temporarily
in small stacks until used. They must not be stacked on open joist work.
•
An installation drawing will be supplied detailing the work to be completed. If temporary
bracing of the joists or temporary “propping” of the floor is required the details will also be
included on the drawing and must be installed as shown.
•
Working on incomplete floors some floor designs now require that sections of flooring
are to be made and completed on site “traditionally” using loose joists and sheet decking
materials to infill areas of floor in between factory made floor cassettes.

An installation drawing will be supplied detailing the work to be completed. If temporary
bracing of the joists or temporary “propping” of the floor is required the details will also be
included on the drawing and must be installed as shown.
•
Joists will firstly be set out and fixed to span across between cassettes and wall plate as
specified in the drawing.
•
By design, some floor joists will be supported at one end on the load bearing walls below.
It is most important that the maximum joist bearing on the wall below is achieved and that
specified blocking pieces must also be fitted to prevent the joists overturning.
•
All joist hangers, timber blocks, stiffeners and top noggins must be fully fixed prior to
fixing the sheet decking material - no-one is allowed to walk on or across the open
joist work.
•
Installation of the sheet decking will start from one edge only; each sheet will be fully
fixed to the joist beneath before anyone is allowed to stand or kneel on that sheet. Once
fixed, additional sheets can be carried over one by one to extend the floor area in front of
the “fixer” as per the installation drawing. As the floor extends, the fixer will move forward
onto each of the fixed sheets to reach the next.
•
When specified, safety decks supported on timber bearers must also be fitted inside the
stairwell opening and set at a height to obtain a flush finish with the surface of the main
floor area as shown on the floor assembly drawing.
•
Edge protection barriers and safety rails must be fixed around the stairwell and along all
unprotected edges using the posts and timber (provided by the Principal Contractor)
before the assembly progresses to the next level.
Handling & Slinging “Large Floor Cassettes”
Some individual floor cassettes exceeding 12 metres in length or weighing more than
500kgs (0.5 tonnes) are to be lifted and positioned by adopting an alternative lifting
method. Each cassette will be identified and is designed and manufactured with blocking
between the joists to enable the cassettes to be under slung at designated points using
“endless slings” secured with “D shackles”.
Under –Slinging & Unloading
•
The floor cassettes will be stacked on the lorry and despatched from the factory each
separated by timber bearers to allow the fitting of the slings at a later stage during the
unloading operation.
•
Four endless slings are to be used for each lift, arranged in two pairs and connected by
“D shackles” to make two large loops under each cassette (minimum rating 3000kgs
SWL). The equipment will be provided by the crane operator, must be tested, in good
condition and visually inspected (by the lift supervisor) before use.
•
A sling will be threaded through the gap under the cassette to be lifted from one side of
the lorry and connected to the second sling at the other side using a “D shackle” (If
necessary, a piece of timber can be used to assist pushing the loose sling through). The
pin of the shackle must be checked and secure before pulling the end of the sling back to
centralise the slings under the cassette.
•
The second pair of slings is to be set up in the same way as the first and each loop
positioned under the lifting points shown on the drawing and located by the joist blocking.
•
Guide ropes to be attached as per standard operation to assist in controlling the load
during lifting and handling over the scaffolding.
Temporary Positioning
•
Each cassette will be lifted into the work area using the crane under the instruction of the
Slingers/Signallers and set down onto the lower wall panels close to their required
position.

Temporary Positioning
•
Each cassette will be lifted into the work area using the crane under the instruction of the
Slingers/Signallers and set down onto the lower wall panels close to their required
position.
•
When the Team Leader is satisfied with the position of the cassette, then the slings can
be detached from under the load by detaching the shackles and lifting the slings away.
•
The next cassette in the sequence will be positioned with a stand off from the first
cassette leaving a gap no greater than 150mm to allow the slings to be removed.
•
This sequence is repeated until the last floor cassette is in position. The last cassette
must be set down temporarily onto timber blocks placed along the edge of the lower wall
panels to support the floor and allow the slings to be removed (the blocks will be removed
later).
Final Fixing
•
When all the cassettes are in their approximate positions, there will be no edges to allow
someone to fall from height.
•
Under the supervision of the Team Leader, Team Members can work from inside the
scaffolding handrail to make the necessary fixings.
•
The support blocks will be taken out from under the cassette that was lifted last, so that
all cassettes are level on the top wall plate of the panel.
•
Each cassette can then be levered into its final position according to the floor deck layout
also closing all minor gaps between cassettes.
•
Screw and nail fixings are completed to the specification before progressing to the next
level of wall panels.
7. Erecting and Placing of Wall Panels above Ground Floor Level
Panels on upper levels will be assembled and fixed in the same way as detailed in the
ground floor method (item 5) with the following additional measures:
•
Appropriate fall arrest protection must be used and any necessary barriers fixed to guard
all open edges. When open panel frames have been fitted in upper internal rooms
adjacent to stairwells then timber rails must be fixed horizontally, the main guard rail must
be at a height of at least 950 mm to prevent anybody falling into the stairwell.
•
Fixing blocks can be fixed around the outside edge of the external walls to assist in panel
location and alignment and prevent panels sliding off the edge of the unit.
•
Guide ropes not exceeding 10 metres in length will be attached to all first floor panels and
above to maintain control of the load when lifting over the scaffolding and working at the
higher levels.
•
Whenever possible, the wall panels will be “walked” towards the work area at low level to
maintain maximum control and then raised to the appropriate floor level by lifting up and
over the scaffolding.
•
Adjustable panel support brackets will be fixed as required to support unfixed panels. The
foot of each bracket is screwed directly into the timber of the floor cassette deck using
screws.
The process is then repeated; panels will be placed and secured as the ground floor panels,
commencing at one corner and progressively working away from this point.
•
When specified by design, on completion of the external panel works, timber head binder
plates will be fitted across the top of the wall panels before progressing to the next stage.
•
When the Team Leader is satisfied with the position of the cassette, then the slings can
be detached from under the load by detaching the shackles and lifting the slings away.
•
The next cassette in the sequence will be positioned with a stand off from the first
cassette leaving a gap no greater than 150mm to allow the slings to be removed.
•
This sequence is repeated until the last floor cassette is in position. The last cassette
must be set down temporarily onto timber blocks placed along the edge of the lower wall
panels to support the floor and allow the slings to be removed (the blocks will be removed
later).
Final Fixing
•
When all the cassettes are in their approximate positions, there will be no edges to allow
someone to fall from height.
•
Under the supervision of the Team Leader, Team Members can work from inside the
scaffolding handrail to make the necessary fixings.
•
The support blocks will be taken out from under the cassette that was lifted last, so that
all cassettes are level on the top wall plate of the panel.
•
Each cassette can then be levered into its final position according to the floor deck layout
also closing all minor gaps between cassettes.
•
Screw and nail fixings are completed to the specification before progressing to the next
level of wall panels.
7. Erecting and Placing of Wall Panels above Ground Floor Level
Panels on upper levels will be assembled and fixed in the same way as detailed in the
ground floor method (item 5) with the following additional measures:
•
Appropriate fall arrest protection must be used and any necessary barriers fixed to guard
all open edges. When open panel frames have been fitted in upper internal rooms
adjacent to stairwells then timber rails must be fixed horizontally, the main guard rail must
be at a height of at least 950 mm to prevent anybody falling into the stairwell.
•
Fixing blocks can be fixed around the outside edge of the external walls to assist in panel
location and alignment and prevent panels sliding off the edge of the unit.
•
Guide ropes not exceeding 10 metres in length will be attached to all first floor panels and
above to maintain control of the load when lifting over the scaffolding and working at the
higher levels.
•
Whenever possible, the wall panels will be “walked” towards the work area at low level to
maintain maximum control and then raised to the appropriate floor level by lifting up and
over the scaffolding.
•
Adjustable panel support brackets will be fixed as required to support unfixed panels. The
foot of each bracket is screwed directly into the timber of the floor cassette deck using
screws.
The process is then repeated; panels will be placed and secured as the ground floor panels,
commencing at one corner and progressively working away from this point.
•
When specified by design, on completion of the external panel works, timber head binder
plates will be fitted across the top of the wall panels before progressing to the next stage.
Lifting the Roof onto the Assembled House
On completion of the upper storey the roof sections can then be lifted onto the upper wall
panels (by others) to complete the shell.
PROTECTION AGAINST FALLS
Assembly with Freestanding Scaffold Structure
The Principal Contractor will supply a freestanding scaffolding structure. The scaffolding must
be fitted with handrails inside each lift and be designed to provide fixed edge protection
around the perimeter edge of the building under construction. It must be erected in
accordance with the client’s approved design drawing to meet current standards &
regulations.
To prevent falls, all platform lifts are fully boarded between the handrails and a pair of
additional scaffolding boards are set to “close” the gap between the handrails and wall panels
as the assembly progresses. All boards must be in position before work on the upper
floors can commence.
Loading bays and ladder towers must also be fully protected with handrails and gates. Safety
gates must be closed at all times when loading operations are not being carried out.
Access ladders provided to each lift must be in good condition, designed for the purpose to
be used and fully secured at the top. They must extend above each platform level by about
1.0m (by a minimum 5 rungs) to provide a handhold.
Stairwell Protection
A suitable stairwell and edge protection system will be provided by the Principal Contractor
and fitted by the Assembly team as the assembly and fixing of the floor progresses to protect
the stairwell, any lift openings and unprotected edges.
The protection around the stairwell opening will normally take the form of prefabricated steel
supports and double timber handrails provided by site. Though this is the preferred first
choice protection system, alternative systems can be used and will be agreed with the
Principal Contractor.
When specified, the Assembly team will fit a temporary safety deck inside the stairwell
opening to improve access for panel assembly and fixing. Fitted in accordance with the
drawing, it also temporarily reduces the “working size” of the opening. The deck can be left in
place following completion of the assembly and removed later by “others”. The deck is not
designed to be loaded or used to support internal scaffold structures.
In circumstances when scaffolding is not to be used, the use of an approved fall arrest
system must be used and will be covered by a separate Method Statement (provided by the
principle contractor).
As the erection of the inner walls on upper floors progresses, it may be necessary to remove
the posts and rails around the stairwell opening to achieve the correct position of the wall
frames. In this situation, the protection must be quickly restored by the team using timber
battens fixed horizontally across the wall frames at a height of 950 mm to prevent anyone
“walking through the frames”.
Personal Protective Equipment
Every self-employed person shall ensure that any personal protective equipment provided to
him is maintained (including replaced or cleaned as appropriate) in an efficient state, in
efficient working order and in good repair - (Extract from the Personal Protective Equipment
at Work Regulations).
•
Every operative is to ensure that they have received adequate training with regards to the
use of any particular item of Personal Protective Equipment.
