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

Method
Environmental cleaning following a possible case Once a possible case has been identified, the bus where the person was placed should not be used, the door should remain shut, with windows opened, until it has been cleaned with detergent and disinfectant. Once this process has been completed, the bus can be put back in use. Scope of Works To disinfect all areas of a bus by wiping of touch points, general overall clean, electrostatic cleans or fogging. Approach to the work (follow each step) Preparation The responsible person undertaking the cleaning with detergent and disinfectant should be familiar with these processes and procedures: Collect all cleaning equipment and clinical waste bags before entering the bus Any cloths and mop heads used must be disposed of as single use items External to the bus, perform hand hygiene then put on all PPE including the following; o o o
Safety boots or shoes Gloves x 2 pairs latex Disposable overalls
Use appropriate signage to prevent entry
Cleaning process
SUK0223 V1 2019
Fogging should be completed from the furthers point away working back towards the entrance Add 90ml of Sychem control product to 7.4 litres of warm water (no hotter than 40 degrees Celsius) Add solution to fogging sprayer Enter bus Re-check that bus is free from animals & persons Check all PPE is still fitting correctly Switch on electrostatic sprayer moving the machine from left to right walking backwards towards the exit door. Do not re-enter the bus for a minimum of 45 minutes Do not remove respirator or PPE equipment until in a well ventilated area which is clear from the fogging zone and is external to the bus.
Decontamination
Once in the external of the bus put all used detergent or disinfectant solutions safely into yellow hazardous waste bag. Wipe down all equipment using antibacterial wipes disposing of the wipes into the hazardous waste bag. Wipe down boots and dispose of wipes in bag Remove overalls and dispose of in bag Remove first pair of gloves and dispose into bag Remove mask and goggles and put in box Remove overalls and dispose into bag Put bag within second bag Remove final pair of gloves and dispose of in bag. Tie the second bag up and put within van. Perform hand hygiene
All waste from suspected contaminated areas should be removed from the room and quarantined until patient test results are known (this may take 48 hours); if the patient is confirmed to have COVID-19 further advice should be sought. On completion of the works, all plant and equipment will be removed and the bus left in a safe, clean and tidy condition to the satisfaction of the Supervisor. General Notes
SUK0223 V1 2019
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. Completion of works All Paperwork, Consignment Notes etc.. will be kept on record within sasse server drive. 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. Fire system isolation may be required 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. Barriers and Warning Notices
SUK0223 V1 2019
The following will be used: General warning signs (“Danger Keep Out”) shall be displayed at entrances to the area of works. All persons on site, including any visitors, shall adhere to the warnings on these signs. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) The following PPE is to be used during this task:
Safety boots or shoes Gloves x 2 pairs latex Disposable overalls Respirator or P3 disposable mask Goggles
Coveralls (Type 5/6) will be worn, white for work within the work area. Disposable items of clothing will be disposed of as hazardous waste after use. Waste Handling and Disposal Bagging of Waste All waste will be carefully handled and will be placed into hazardous waste polythene bags. Excess air will be expelled before sealing the bags using vinyl self-adhesive tape. The bags will not be overfilled in order to prevent splitting the polythene, and in order to reduce the risks of injury to those manually handling the waste. Waste carriage and Disposal From there, the bags or parcels will be placed into the van. Waste disposal will be removed by a licenced waste carrier and Consignment Notes will be completed and stored on file within the server.
SUK0223 V1 2019
Emergency Procedures Fire procedures
Raise the alarm Evacuate the work area. Assemble at muster point
Personal injury or collapse Following an accident or similar event, the following procedures should be followed: The injured party comes first. The risk to the safety or health of the person(s) is immediate, and action should be taken to provide first aid etc. A first aider should be called, and someone should be sent to call the emergency services. If breathing has ceased, respirators will have to be removed in order to apply mouth to mouth resuscitation. Ensure the first aider and emergency services are directed and assisted to ensure the quickest possible attention to the IP. When the injured person is in competent hands, completely decontaminate all equipment and personnel involved in the incident. Site Management We will ensure that work is carried out according to this method statement by employing the following management techniques. The supervisor is responsible for the task and has the power to stop work if he is of the opinion that there are any especially high or unexpected risks to health or safety.
SUK0223 V1 2019
Arrangements for Changing the Working Methods and This Method Statement Conditions can change between the planning and execution of site work, and indeed during work on site. The supervisor can change the methods of work or the details contained in the method statement, ONLY AFTER THIS HAS BEEN CHECKED BY THE HEAD OF HSEQ. Changes should not be made without such discussion.
