CIRIA Designer Guidance.
For those of you looking for guidance as designers with regard to safe access for maintenance and repair, I would recommend the latest CIRIA Document C686 “Safe Access for Maintenance & Repair” downloadable from the IHS information service. Chapter 2 is particularly useful, giving indicative guidance in making decisions in respect of working at height.
You should also be aware of other useful CIRIA guidance ( also available through our information service) as follows:
CIRIA C604 CDM Regulations – Work sector guidance for designers
CIRIA C662 - CDM2007 Construction work sector guidance for designers
CIRIA C663 - CDM2007 Workplace in-use guidance for designers
The Workplace in-use guidance is particularly of interest, and reminds us that as designers we need to ensure that hazards & risks are considered for the workplaces included in our designs, also ensuring compliance with the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992.
