When the need for a new sub-contractor or supplier is identified 13.DC010 - New Sub-Contractor - Supplier Request is to be completed by the requester and sent to the QHSE Manager immediately for process
If no supplier evaluation is required, proceed to step 1.5. |
|
| |
1.2 The Sub-contractors and Suppliers form is not a prerequisite for urgent orders. Any orders deemed urgent are to be discussed with senior management. Authority to proceed will only be granted after back ground checks and appropriate due diligence checks have been completed. In this instance the purchase requisition should be authorised by senior management. |
|
| |
1.3 Identify Requirement On receipt of 13.DC010 the QHSE manager after discussion with the Finance Manager and other relevant management will decide which evaluation form is to be sent to the supplier. The default document for new Suppliers is 13.DC011 unless the supplier is deemed a level 2 supplier, in this case 13.DC012 will be utilised. This decision will be based on the size of the supplier to be utilised, the nature of the order and if the goods concerned are safety critical components or have the potential to effect service quality.
Due to nature of our operations in terms of the maintenance of obsolete or discontinued equipment and spares Level 2 suppliers are likely to be smaller operations who are not likely to hold ISO/OHSAS certification, professional body subscriptions or relevant safety/quality/environmental statistics etc. The use of these suppliers is only to be utilised as a last resort or when no other suppliers are available.
All Sub Contractors will be subject to 13.DC011- Sub Contractors and Key suppliers Questionnaire.
Once the decision is made on which evaluation form is to be utilised the QHSE manager will prepare the necessary questionnaire and certificate of conformance and forward to the new sub-contractor/supplier along with a covering letter explaining why the information is being requested and what documents need to be supplied to GTS Metron Limited for review |
|
| |
1.4 Supplier Evaluation Once the completed questionnaire and associated documentation is received the QHSE manager will check and collate ready for review. Form 13.DC010 is to be updated by the QHSE Manager.
If requested documentation is not provided or more information or clarifications are required, the QHSE Manager will contact the new sub-contractor/supplier direct and request the necessary information.
If no response has been obtained from the new Sub-Contractor or Supplier within 10 working days, the QHSE Manager will chase up via e mail or phone call |
|
| |
1.5 Review The completed questionnaire and supporting documentation received from the new sub-contractor/supplier is then to be reviewed by QHSE, Finance managers, legal/contracts assessor and CEO
Once each departmental review has taken place and if approved Form 13.DC010 is to be updated and signed by the relevant management representative.
Sub-contractors and key suppliers will be subject to a pre-qualification check of their safety performance by review of their safety programs, safety training documents and safety statistics. The following information will also be a consideration for approval
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 or OHSAS certification Visit feedback from any management visits QHSE performance Results from any QHSE audits
When reviewing all new sub-contractors and supplier questionnaires, the relevant Manager in addition to the information provided within the relevant questionnaire, should be also be considering the following:
Are there any legal implications of using the supplier (international trade restrictions etc.)? Are there any HSE reasons for not using the supplier? Does the Sub-contractor/supplier hold the required insurances? Does the supplier's credit rating etc. present an acceptable level of risk? Are there any ethical reasons for not using the supplier? Are there any HSE reasons for not using the supplier? If deemed necessary, the Finance manager is to check over the companies accounts with Companies House. |

| 14.PR040 Occupational Health Surveillance |
1.1 Complete risk assessment Complete risk assessment to identify hazards in the workplace, the severity, who is at risk and the measures to be taken to control the risk. This risk assessment will help determine the requirements for health surveillance and any further steps required.
Find out whether employee is at risk from: -noise -vibration -respiratory disease -skin disease or irritation -eye irritation -kidney or liver damage.
In order to answer these questions, the person conducting the risk assessment must understand the full work process and all of the risks employees are exposed to.
The main area's of concern are: -solvents -fumes -dusts -biological agents -asbestos -lead -compressed air -ionising radiations -diving
Consider: -removing the hazard altogether -reducing risks by changing the way work is done or use other controls -provide protective equipment.
Some forms of Health Surveillance are required by law. Other forms of Health Surveillance are undertaken as good practice.
Control measures may not always be reliable so health surveillance can help make sure that any ill health effects are detected as early as possible. |
|
| |
1.2 Review risk assessment against health surveillance criteria If there is still a risk to health after the implementation of the control measures from the risk assessment or there is a mandatory requirement, then a health surveillance programme should be implemented.
Medical surveillance is a legal requirement for the following workplace exposures: -Particular types of asbestos -Work with lead -Work with ionizing radiation -Work with those substances hazardous to heath that are subject to Schedule 6 of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.
If health surveillance it is not required, review the risk assessment and ensure that any changes to the workplace are still implemented.
Risk assessments and the controls applied to the risks must remain relevant to the actual activities taking place. |
|
| |
2.1 Appoint a responsible person To help setup an effective health surveillance system, a responsible person should be assigned. This person should be trained to make basic routine checks, such as skin inspections for first signs of redness. The responsible person could be a supervisor, employee representative or a first aider.
For more complicated assessments, such as medical fitness for specific jobs, lung function tests, hearing tests, etc. an Occupational Health Nurse or a Physician can perform the assessment and do various examinations. This will need to be arranged by the HR department.
The HR Department is responsible for Managing, monitoring and reviewing the Occupational health service, which includes this surveillance process.
Both the HSE Manager and a trained first aider can be called upon to help carry out basic routine checks.
Metron staff are not expected to diagnose the cause of the symptoms of an employees' ill-health. |
|
| |
2.2 Involving Employees When setting up heath surveillance arrangements, it is important to involve your employees at an early stage as they should understand their own duties and the purpose of health surveillance.
Identify all employees who are at risk as determined out in 1.1 and advise them of these risks. |
|
| |
2.3 Carry out self checks As well as employers carrying out checks on employees, employees can also highlight whether they think they are also at risk when carrying out self-checks. If required, awareness training will be provided. If there are any concerns, speak to the person responsible person for health surveillance.
For more complicated assessments, an occupational nurse or doctor can ask about symptoms or carry out periodic examinations. |
|
| |
2.4 Medical surveillance Common examples of Health Surveillance: -Display Screen Equipment Use: Vision Screening; Muscular Assessment; Work Station Assessment -Drivers: Occupational Health Assessment -Manual Handling work: Occupational Health Assessment or questionnaire -Noise: Hearing test if exposure at levels of 80Db or above -Vibration: Self reporting examination or questionnaire + Occupational Health examination if required -Asbestos, lead, compressed air: Occupational Health Assessment -Substances Hazardous to Health: Varies depending on substance. Self reporting; Occupational Health Assessment; Respiratory function tests; Skin surveillance; Blood test; Urine tests -Ionising Radiations: Dosimetry; Personal monitoring -Laser users: Eye examination -Confined spaces - use of respirators: Occupational Health medical -Pregnant workers: Occupational Health Assessment or questionnaire -Night work: Occupational Health Assessment or questionnaire -Young workers: Occupational health Assessment or questionnaire |
|
| |
3.1 Involving an occupational health professional The HR department will contact an occupational health professional if an employee(s) requires an examination.
All offshore personnel will undergo medicals, administered by Survivex. We will endeavour to use this supplier for any additional occupational health appointments, but another supplier may be used.
Make sure when meeting the Occupational Health professional that the requirements of them are discussed in terms of what services they will provide.
Employees are entitled to attend health surveillance appointments within paid working time and Metron will bear the cost. |
|
| |
3.3 Work place adjustment After the health surveillance appointment - carry out any work place adjustments as recommended by the occupational health professional. You may need to adapt the workplace or even move affected staff to alternative duties. |
|
| |
3.4 Action on health risks Consider the following when implementing action on health risks as identified by the occupational health professional: -What work has the employee been doing/for how long? -Have all risks in the work activity been assessed? -Have you chosen the most effective and reliable controls? -Have you considered all routes of exposure? -Is the employee trained, both for the job and in the use of any equipment used to control risk? -Have you maintained/checked the control measures to make sure they stay effective? -Is any necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including protective clothing, provided and used correctly? -Is any necessary respiratory protective equipment (RPE) provided and used correctly? -Is RPE and PPE maintained? -Could activities outside work have caused ill health?
You should consider all the above, in tandem with the results from the subsequent health surveillance, when implementing additional or improved control measures. |
|
| |
4.1 Health Surveillance Records Update health record after consultation with occupational health professional. A health record must be kept for all employees under health surveillance. These should include details about the employee and the health surveillance procedures relating to them.
These details should include: -Surname -Forname(s) -Gender -Date of birth -Permanent address -National Insurance number -Date present employment started -The date health surveillance checked were carried out and by whom -The outcome of the test/check -The decision made by the occupational health professional in terms of fitness for task and any restrictions required. This should be factual; and only relate to the employee's functional ability and fitness for specific work, with any advised restrictions.
Medical records compiled by an externally appointed doctor or nurse and may contain information obtained from the individual during the course of health surveillance. This information may include clinical notes, biological results and other information related to health issues not associated with work. This information is confidential and should not be disclosed without the consent of the individual.
Where any health information is written down, such as lung function test reports, records have to be kept for a minimum of 40 years. These are normally kept by the Occupational Health provider.
If no further action required.
If any follow up appointments are required go to 3.0. |
