SPECIFIC MEASURES REQUIRED TO MINIMISE THIS RISK

Protective equipment - Gloves / Goggles or safety glasses / Safety Shoes

 

 

Method Statement

 

1.       The First thing we need to do is  put on our correct PPE which will be

Steel Toe Cap boots

Protective Gloves

 

2.       We will then start to take down the old gutter, we will do this by un screwing the brackets and carefully taking the gutter down.

 

3.       Once that is done the new brackets will be ready to put on, we will re mark the guttering from the end of the wall, we will find the highest point of the wall that we can start with the new gutter and start putting in the first bracket. Once we know how many meters the guttering will be we will drop the guttering by 2mm every meter so the water is able to run freely without getting blocked.

 

4.       Now the brackets are on we will start to fix the joints to the gutter and put them to the brackets, once we know its secure, tested that there is no leaks and running properly we will clean up and the job will be finished.

Method statement.

1)     Before we started work we needed to put on appropiate PPE for this job which consisted of;
Steel toe cap boots
Protective Gloves
 
2)     One we entered the work place we assesed the copper pipe we would be ammending, we knew from the pipe that is would be a patch repair.

3)     We then isolated the water supply so no water would be running through the pipes, we then drained the pipes  and put a bucket underneath so no water would hit the floor causing a potential flood.

4)     Once we knew there was no water left in the pipes we cut through the area that was faulty, we measured the faulty bit of pipe and cut out a new one.

5)     When it was ready we then soldered the pipe together so make it secure.

6)     Lastly we turned the water back on and run the taps to see if there was any leaks in the pipe, once we knew it was a perfect we then cleared up and left then site
