All companies should have a framework of Policies and Procedures relating to the management of Health & Safety. SMD have developed a specific Site Installation Guide to assist operatives with trade-specific guidance notes.
Refer to SMD.SDC.210 - Site Installation Guide for more information
Contract-specific safety documentation, including Method Statements, Risk Assessments and COSHH data sheets are available for all hazards / activities associated with the handling and fixing of metal decking and associated accessories. The communication of this to the workforce, ensures that all operatives understand the risks and preventative measures that have been agreed.
