About this Document
This Safe System of Work (SSoW) is to out line The Premises Works for the conversion
of exiting assets into new retail uits and upgrade of existing toilets at Canary Wharf
Station.
The SSoW is produced in conjunction with a Task Briefing Sheet. The Task Briefing
Sheet is based on/driven by the SSoW and there are several Task Briefing Sheets for
each SSoW. To elaborate:
 Safe System of Work: A SSoW is produced for a ‘work/activity’ package. What
activities are included in a package needs to be decided on a job by job basis –
for example, a SSoW could be produced per trade (e.g. demolition, piling, lift
installation) or per area (if very independent works).
 Task Briefing Sheet: Task Briefing Sheets are written for the workforce. There
should be a Task Briefing Sheet for each activity in the SSoW (e.g. tiling). The
idea is that Task Briefing Sheets capture today’s activity, the risks specific to this
activity, the site where the works are to be carried out, and the site specific risks
and controls. There is a sign off sheet to record the briefings, and evidence
understanding of the brief for the workforce to sign.
 All materials plant and equipment are to be fixed/installed/applied/used in
accordance with the manufacturers guidelines/recommendations, together with
drawings, materials, workmanship specifications
 Risk assesments applicable to each trade activity during the refurbishment
process are to be constantly reviewed and revised prior or upon the discovery of
any additional potential hazards. All operatives if unsure of the hazards of the
work during the progress of the work activity must stop work report any unforseen hazards not listed on the current project risk assessments to the site
manager whereby the current risk assessments can be reviewed & revised
accordingly by the site manager or the duly appointed risk assesor.

Work Details
1.1 Description of Work
This document has been produced to detail the Safe System of Work that will be
adhered to during the Works for the refreshment of exiting assets into new retail units
and upgrade of existing toilets at Canary Wharf Station.
The project scope of works is to carry out the change of use of use of the property from
both commercial and LUL operational commercial activities. Currently there and
existing retail outlet and POMS Room.
The scope is to turn the POMS Room and existing small retail unit in to one retail unit
for the purpose of selling newspapers,magazines, soft fdrinks, sandwiches, souviniers
All works will be carried out behind hoarding to minimamise impact with the staion staff,
operations or members of the public.
There will be no track or train interface required during the project life cycle.

The following issues will be considered as a minimum for a safe system of work:







Setting up a safe system of works as described in the SSoW document for the
works.
Check available service drawings prior to starting on site.
Visual and scanner survey for existing services prior to demolition.
Manual handling procedures.
Trace and identify current services prior to cutting off / removal.
All structural works to be supervised by Temporary Works Co-ordinator.
All structural works to the premises must be agreed with Building Control prior
to commencement of the works
Permit to cut/dig and hot works permit
This SSoW will be used to coordinate the safety related actions of the Management,
Site Supervision and Employees. A Another Ltd Site Manager will be responsible for
the implementation on site.
General
Prior to drilling or breaking out any existing structures any available service drawings
will have been checked. A visual survey of the area will be carried out for existing
services. Following the visual survey the area will be surveyed for hidden services by a
certificated operator using a Calibrated RD4000/RD8000 scanner. The results of the
surveys will be recorded on a D&D Rail Permit to Dig/Drill which will be retained in the
site file for reference and audit purposes. If any services are identified holes will be
located so as to avoid them. If it is not possible to avoid the services no work will be
carried out and instruction will be sought from LUL.
Areas where mixing of cement is to be carried out will be covered using LUL approved
fire rated sheeting to protect the floor from any spillage. Spillages will be cleaned up
immediately and bagged for removal from site. All staff handling cement shall wear
appropriate PPE
Works at high level will carried out off of a mobile scaffold tower erected by a PASMA
certified operative.
At the end of each shift the work area will be cleared of all plant, materials and waste.
This will be cleaned as necessary and checked by the Station Supervisor prior to hand
back.
Finally we will carry out a full builders clean to all areas as directed by the client.
Delivery of materials and equipment
Deliveries will be made during engineering hours to the station entrance. A lookout shall
be appointed to supervise vehicle and pedestrian movements.
Materials and equipment will be transported into the worksite areas using trolleys and
manual handling, as applicable.
It is envisaged that the use of lifts and or escalatoers will be used to transport plant and
materials to the work location. A movement of materials licence will be applied for to
enable this.
Waste will be double bagged for removal from site at the end of the shift. Waste will be
removed following the reverse of the above routes. There will be an L&E operative
provided and wil be on the diamond at all times, all operatives moving materials will
follow the MOM guildlines and maintain 3 points of contact at all times, items longer
than 2m will be carried by 2 people.
All A Another operatives have Manual handling training.
Working at Height
Where access to height is required this will be from a mobile scaffold tower which will
be erected by a PASMA certificated operative or from podium steps. Towers will be
fitted with handrails and toe boards. Outriggers will be used where appropriate in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations based on tower height. Scaff
tags will be displayed. The SPC will complete a D&D Rail Permit to Work at height prior
to work commencing. All permits will be signed off by the LUL CSM or CM
In areas where towers or podium steps cannot be used safely due to space restrictions,
steps will be used.
Steps will be footed by a second operative at all times whilst maintaining 3 points of
contact.
Locating Existing Services
Prior to drilling of existing structures, service drawings, (if available), will have been
checked. A visual survey of the area will be carried out to locate existing services.
Following the visual survey the area will then be scanned for hidden services by a
certificated operator using a Calibrated RD4000/RD8000 scanner.
The results of the survey will be recorded on a DDR Permit to Dig/Drill which will be
retained in the site file for reference and audit purposes. If any visual or hidden
services are identified, then location of either proposed drill holes or excavations will be
relocated so as to avoid them.
If relocation is not possible then no work will be carried out and further instruction will be
sought from LUL.
Trace and Tag existing services.
All existing drainage and water services will be traced and tagged to identify
consequence of cutting / capping off. This will eliminate any unnecessary in
convenience to other users on the station complex.
Cutting / Capping of services.
All water pipes will be traced back beyond the work area to identify a suitable cutting
and capping area. If this is in the form of an existing stop cock this will be utilised. In the
event that this cannot be possible then the use of freeze kits will be adopted to cut and
capp water services.
Drainage will be traced back also to establish other areas that may be affected during
the works. i.e from another level above the work site etc.
All of the tracing and tagging will take place proir to any cutting or capping off. If it is
found that other areas of the station will be affected during this work then this will be
brought to the LUL Project managers attention and a work sequence will be agreed
prior to commencement.
Installation of new self leveling compound
Once the existing floor is uplifted the concrete subfloor will be prepared to receive
latex and new ceramic tile finish. The subfloor will be swept thoroughly to ensure it is
clean and free of any barrier materials such as dust, oil grease etc. ( priming will be
deemed necessary only on floors which are very porous or where specified by the
latex manufacturer). Latex powder and latex liquid will be blended in the appropriate
quantities ( as recommended by the manufacturer) with a small hand whisk until a
smooth lump free mortar is achieved. The mortar will be poured into position and
spread with a trowel to the required thickness with a smooth finish. Working to a grid
of bays this procedure will be repeated until the whole area is covered. On
completion, the floor should be protected from foot traffic until the compound has
hardened and dried.
Installation of Ceramic Tiles
Mix Approximately 10 liters of Ceramic tile adhesive by method of electric whisk and
spread by a solid bed trowel to the sub floor, maintaining a level consistency of
adhesive. Lay tiles onto wet adhesive applying slight pressure to ensure full
adhesion. Space and level as necessary. Using a manual tile cutter and an electric
wet tile cutter, measure and cut tiles where necessary. Once adhesive has set, clean
off joints to prepare for grouting. Mix and spread grout evenly across the tile joints
with a rubber float to ensure no air pockets. Clean excess grout off by wet sponge
and allow to set before a final clean.

1.2 Duration of Works
It is envisaged that works will be completed in 9 weeks.
1.3 Working Hours
Works are planned to be carried out during Traffic Hours behind the hoardings. Certain activities
i.e. deliveries and removal of spoil will be carried out during Engineering Hours.
This site will be 24 working, excact hours to be confirmed
1.4 Control of Activity Risks
Asbestos registers will be consulted to confirm that there is none present in the working areas prior
to commencement of works.
Noise and Hand Arm Vibration will be monitored and recorded by the SPC. A table of frequently
used plant is included in the site files for use on site.
At the station entrance and muster points noise will be controlled so as to minimise the
inconvenience to neighbours. Noise and vibration will be fully risk assessed and the control
measures implemented.
All works will be carried out in accordance with The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005
and The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.
During the work involving the use of 110v, or battery operated tools, ear protection, gloves, and job
rotation will be used to minimise operative’s exposure to noise and vibration.
All operatives will be briefed on HAV’s and the exposure limits for the plant listed below. The SPC
will record the exposure times for each operative on the HAV’s Register.
All persons entering the work area during noisy works will be required to wear ear defenders. Signs
will be displayed at the site entrance.
The SPC will assess the noise levels and modify the safe system of work accordingly if required.
Task specific risks have been identified as follows including guidance notes for risk assessment
