Xmo Strata Site Rules

The following rules are designed to enforce and educate our workforce to latest statutory regulations and
Company policy.
1. The lead installer allocated a job site is deemed to be the person in charge of all other persons either
directly or indirectly employed by the company on that site, the lead installer must give this safety
bulletin (and others sent to him) as a TBT to all persons, prior to commencing work and ensure that
it signed and dated by them.

2. Safety helmets, safety glasses, gloves, hi-visibility vests, & ankle high steel toe cap boots must be
worn at all times on all contracts.

3. All plant and machinery must NOT be moved unless one of team acts as the banksmen and 360°
sightlines are kept – this rule applies to the reversing of any vehicle. Do not allow ANY Xmo Strata
or Supplier’s vehicle to enter the site blindly.
4. Always isolate plant, lock up containers & waste skips and leave keys in the shop (note shop persons
name who keys handed to).

5. All plant or machinery to be operated within an exclusion zone, within a fenced off area – always
maintain a physical barrier between workplace and site traffic.

6. Always ensure 600mm distance between moving machinery and a fixed obstruction (trapping
hazard)– if unable to fence off, restrict free passage of persons / third parties by placing a person to
act as a guard. When raising a scissor lift or cherry picker under a soffit, you must be aware of the
trapping hazard that may be present, the lead installer will nominate a person to operate the
equipment, the nominated person will not operate the plant unless all other persons are clear of any
pinch point.
7. Some sites are declared a high fire risk due to free passage of persons across the site, in these
circumstances closed waste skips will be sent to site – always keep these doors shut & locked.
Always keep paper other flammable materials in the lockable container. If an open skip has been
sent to site store the waste paper out of sight & dispose into skip lorry when it visits the site.
8. Always complete a Work at Height Checklist before working on any access equipment at a height
over 2m from the ground. This includes steps, ladders, MEWPs, Towers, Scaffolds etc.
9. Do not use a scaffold until the erection company has issued a handing over certificate or has fitted a
plastic label (Scaff Tag) onto the scaffold clearly stating all is in order for use. Scaffolds are
required by law to be inspected by the subcontracting company every 7 days after completion. If a
scaffold is to be erected onto a footpath contact your immediate supervisor and ensure adequate
signage is arranged ensuring safe passage of pedestrians – if in doubt or you envisage danger to
pedestrians, do not erect the scaffold.
10. Smoking and use of mobile phones are banned from all areas within a petrol forecourt – Ensure
subcontractors & delivery drivers are made aware of this danger.
