Project HSE Targets
Progress on both the Project and Group derived Objectives and Targets should be monitored,
reviewed and discussed at the Project HSE or Review/Progress Meetings or equivalent.
At NMS Infrastructure Construction it is our intention to develop a strategic approach to risk
management to move towards the goal of zero incidents on all of our projects. Initial information
exchanges will assist in identifying high risk areas and tasks where work activities can proceed. In
addition to information exchanges, it is envisioned that the projects will include improved
communication and monitoring procedures. The projects will also increase awareness amongst all
NMS Infrastructure Construction workforces of health and safety standards and accident prevention
and will work, as appropriate, toward strengthening the capacity to promote high standards of health
and safety on site.
A6
Contractors/Designers Selection and Appointment
Note: that the term ‘contractors’ below covers sub-contractors and other contractors working on the
project for which we have control as principal contractor.
A6.1
Introduction
In order to achieve the high standards of health and safety and environmental management set out in
the targets and objectives, the commitment of all parties to achieving those standards is required.
All Contractors must demonstrate their commitment to achieving the targets set for the project, by cooperating with NMS Infrastructure Group in implementing this Health, Safety and Environmental
Management Plan.
A6.2
Selection of Contractors/Designers
Before appointing any Contractor, Designer or Contractor with design responsibilities, the person
making the appointment must be reasonably satisfied that those being appointed are competent and
have allocated sufficient resources to fulfil their obligations under Safety, Health and Environmental
legislation. Where NMS Infrastructure Group makes the appointment, the procedures within the
Project Management Plan will apply.
No contractor shall sub-let any part of their awarded package without express permission from NMS
Infrastructure Group management. Should permission be granted, NMS Infrastructure Group
management must ensure that the Contractors selection process is at least equal to that of NMS
Infrastructure Group. To that end NMS Infrastructure Group reserves the right to audit procedures
put in place by any party to the construction phase to ensure that these requirements are met.
The selection of designers or contractors should again be carried out in accordance with the
procedure laid down in the Project Management Plan. Whether NMS Infrastructure Group or the
Contractor appoints the designer, the appointed Principle Designer for the project has a duty if
requested to advise on such an appointment.
Contractors and designers will be provided with a copy of the CPHASEMP (or the relevant parts) at
the earliest opportunity and this will be discussed at various pre- appointment meetings and
throughout their involvement in the contract. In addition, the appropriate elements with regards to
safety, health and environmental management will be communicated within the Induction.
The Contractor will appoint senior member(s) as their principal point of contact for all matters relating
to Safety, Health and Environmental issues. These roles i.e. Safety Advisor and Environmental
Advisor may be separate.

Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) & Other Safe Systems of
Work
A9.1
Contractors RAMS
All Contractors and self-employed persons have a duty to examine their undertakings to establish
those operations that pose a significant HSE risk and develop control measures to eliminate or
minimise those risks.
Each Contractor (or self-employed person) must submit details of their initial risk assessments and
control measures (Method Statements) to NMS Infrastructure Group 48 hrs in advance of the works
commencing.
The method statements shall be reviewed by the Project Manager or his assigned representative to
ensure that subcontractors have recognised and understood their safety, health and environmental
obligations associated with their activities within the overall context of the project.
As work progresses the risk assessments and control measures should be reviewed and if
necessary updated by each Contractor and discussed at planning/progress meetings with NMS
Infrastructure Group. A RAMS Schedule on which to plot risk assessments and method statements
will be utilised and they should be prepared with reference to the site programme and amended to
reflect any changes in activity dates as they occur.
No works may commence on site unless a site-specific risk assessment and method statement has
been submitted and accepted by the NMS Infrastructure Group Management Team.
Relevant parts of RAMS shall be communicated to all employees carrying out the work or
otherwise at risk prior to commencing that activity.
A9.2
NMS Infrastructure Group RAMS
Where NMS Infrastructure Group carries out the work directly or is providing direct supervision, NMS
Infrastructure Group will conduct the risk assessment and record it on CMSD-205 in accordance with
the Risk Assessment and Method Statement Procedure.
CMSD-500 CPHASEMP: June 2020 Rev001
Page 15 of 30
Construction Phase Health, Safety & Environmental Management Plan
Method statements will be produced in the format of CMSD-213 for direct work.
Once the NMS Infrastructure Group RAMS have been approved, the main contents of the
RAMS are to be summarised in a Work Activity Safety Plan (WASP) which must form the
basis of the briefing to those undertaking the work or otherwise at risk. Detail on the development
and briefing of the WASP is contained within the ‘Risk Assessment – Top Level Document’ section
within the HSE Procedures and Guidance Manual.
A9.3
Other Safe Systems of Work
Other written safe systems of work can be produced in the form of Site Safety Procedures (SSP’s),
Environmental procedures etc. These can be procedures to combat a project wide specific hazard
i.e. confined spaces, management of a specific item of plant or machinery (TBM, Cranes, gantries,
hoists etc.). They may be site generated with reference to particular standards, or be adopted from
the client, i.e. Water Company confined space procedures, permit to work, control of premises etc.
They may be included as an Appendix to this plan or referenced elsewhere.
A10
Emergency Procedures and Plans (Including First Aid)
A10.1
General
Each Contractor must identify via their risk assessments any emergency procedures that are
required as a result of their work activity. These requirements should then be discussed with NMS
Infrastructure Group to assess whether a common procedure is appropriate.
Detail here emergency preparedness & response plans to address accidents, incidents and
environmental incidences. The format that should be used is CMSD-296 and should include
arrangements in the event of:
Fire/ explosions
Structural Collapse
Bomb Threat/UXB
Spills of oils or chemical
Pollution of watercourse
Firewater run-off
Flood/inundation etc.
