Introduction As required by Section 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, this risk assessment covers the reasonably foreseeable, significant hazards to be encountered at this location. This risk assessment is in addition to the Health and Safety Management Policy covers all work activities carried out. Sasse Facilities Management has a policy that sets out how they will manage health and safety. In general, the basic control of risks will be implemented by the Operations Managers, Supervisors and Employees who are suitably trained, experienced and have the level of knowledge and competence required to do their work safely. Where inexperienced personnel are engaged, their tasks will be limited to within their capability and they will be closely supervised. Sasse Facilities Management will liaise constantly with the Clients management and health and safety personnel to ensure there are no conflicts with their health and safety arrangements. An appropriately qualified health and safety manager experienced in facilities management, has been engaged to advise on compliance with health and safety legislation and safe working practices. This Risk Assessment The main purpose of this risk assessment is to endeavor to reduce the likelihood of any unnecessary accidents causing injuries to people or damage to equipment as well as to comply with all relevant UK and EU health and safety legislation. The controls advised here are considered suitable and sufficient to control the risks as far as is reasonably practicable. Any significant change in procedures or occurrences will require this assessment to be reviewed. This risk assessment must remain a live document and be continually reviewed and revised as and when necessary to ensure it remains relevant.

Risk Assessment - Evaluating the Risk Each significant hazard identified must be evaluated to determine whether it presents a high, medium or low risk to help decide what precautions are required to be put in place to control the risk to an acceptable level. Use the table below to help evaluate the level of risk by considering how likely it would be that the hazard would cause harm and if it did, how serious the consequences might be. Likelihood Severity
2 – Occasional / Possible
3 - Frequent
4 - Regular
5Common
1 – No injury
2 – Minor / First Aid
3 – 7-day absence
4 – Specified injury (Major injury)
5 - Fatal
1- 2 = LOW ( to be continually monitored)
Risk Rating
3 – 5 = MEDIUM (to be continually monitored)
(L x S = R)

Method
Scope of Works To disinfect all areas of a bus, property or room by wiping of touch points, general overall clean or electrostatic clean. Approach to the work (follow each step) Preparation
Put on all PPE including the following; o o
Safety boots or shoes Gloves
Check all electric equipment is switched off and unplugged Ensure that no persons, animals are on the bus that is to be cleaned
Cleaning process
Fogging should be completed from the furthers point away working back towards the entrance to the bus Add 90ml of Sychem control product to 7.4 litres of warm water (no hotter than 40 degrees Celsius) Add solution to fogging sprayer Ensure battery on electrostatic fogger is free from damage and fully charged Check that fogging machine switch is in the OFF position Install battery into electrostatic fogger Re-check that the bus is free from animals & persons Work from furthest point of the bus and work towards the door
SUK0223 V1 2019
Switch on electrostatic sprayer moving the machine from left to right walking backwards towards the exit door. Repeat these steps for each bus which requires fogging. Do not remove respirator or PPE equipment until in a well ventilated area clear from the work zone Stainless steel and metal surfaces may need to be wiped down with a microfibre cloth following electrostatic spraying to remove water droplet markings. Use ready to use trigger spray solution and a microfibre cloth Mist surface and buff to a sheen as required
General Notes Every effort has and will be made to ensure this work is carried out to an appropriate standard. Control measures are in view of the circumstances intended and are to exceed the minimum guidance notes provided by the WHO. Identification of Other Hazards: Hazardous Substances (COSHH): The following substances are to be used on this project:
Sychem CONTROL Concentrate
A CoSHH file reviewed by the operative and supervisor, describes the precautions needed for working with the hazardous substances used. No other Hazardous Substances have been identified. Where these become apparent we will amend this method statement. Access and Egress Arrangements are identified prior to work commencement. Work in hot environments does not apply to these works. There are no perceived risks other than the aforementioned arising from the activities undertaken in the Premises.
SUK0223 V1 2019
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) The following PPE is to be used during this task:
