Risk Assessment And Method Statements

[Kent_keith 46]

My compay is very hot on RA and MS's, they have there own process, with the HSE having the final say, but they expect the people doing the work will know the process the best and the potential risks.

 

 

That's what I said lol

I had to do a risk assessment to shoot my work and after seven years they changed it and i had to reapply after i put mine in i got to sit down with the health and safety officer and we are no on the fifth one there nearly totally impractical to work and he says as long as your no see carry on

HSE manager was well happy with my RA & MS, had to give him insurance and liability waiver and he's off to the plant manager to rubber stamp! The deputy manager is a mate of 15 years, so have asked him to put a good word in....looking possitive!!

[Daz39 962]

Well it worked lads, perm granted at one site though in darkness hours only. Hoping to get the second site too now....

 

Will pop up later this week to get the papers done and have a shufty!!!

 

Hope there are more rabbits than on the damn golf course!!!

Mine was stupid you had to wear a lumo vest , no shooting from the vehicle assess the rabbit drive to it get out assess it again then shoot did it twice the bag went down from 60 to 20 , next time i wore a lumo vest and had a cammo jacket over it and back to shooting out the car window low profile nobody knew nobody moaned

Mine was very simple, don't shoot if there is anyone around.... end of.

 

haha, just hoping there will be something there this time....

Hopefully it'll be like shooting fish in a barrel

[The one 8,511]

That's how I'm ending up if you see somebody pull the gun in and drive past with a silencer on the air arms you won't hear it a hundred yards away .as health and safety said low profile

Like yourself, after paying for an external contractor coming in and supplying unsatisfactory results I got permission and the company to purchase a TX200 Mk3, scope and lamping equipment to cater for the ferals both outside and inside the premises.

Luckily I am the H&S Manager so I was deemed competent to create both the risk assessment and Method statement, I was also in a position to negotiate with one of the national pest control companies to attend their air rifle marksman course with another employee, which incorporates the legislation and methods of dispatch and carcass destruction. The Local authorities are happy with what i have produced and that i only shoot within the boundary and not towards the edge as the public can be walking past. (N.B the rifle is made safe if joe public is spotted via CCTV and the radio call comes in. (sometimes I require the use of a spotter if shooting inside and that's stipulated within the method statement).

If you're shooting alone make sure the lone worker assessment covers you as well but I'm sure your H&S Manager has already thought of that.

just for the by the by... can you turn your gun right down for set area's etc and still hit, i seem to recal a few pest controllers using the rapids back in the day so they could set up shot to shot. just a thought that may aid in further works, more for indoor work about factries and the likes.

 

chair gun charts may help, purdy coloured charts to bring in that pie chart fever at the office lol.
