1. Purpose

This policy sets out how Evenii Limited manages construction and trade operations in a safe, organised, professional and evidence-led way.

It applies to all Evenii works, including:

2. Core operating standard

Evenii’s operating standard is:

Plan the work. Control the risk. Communicate clearly. Document the evidence. Leave the client with confidence.

Every job must be managed with appropriate attention to:

3. Legal and regulatory framework

Evenii’s works may be subject to legal duties including, where applicable:

4. England, Wales and Scotland

This policy is intended for use across Great Britain where Evenii carries out or supports works.

For Scottish projects, Evenii should ensure the contract clearly states:

5. Roles and responsibilities

5.1 Director / Operations Lead

Responsible for:

5.2 Project Manager / Supervisor

Responsible for:

5.3 Operatives and subcontractors

Responsible for:

5.4 Subcontractors

Subcontractors must provide, where requested:

6. Pre-start requirements

Before starting works, Evenii must consider:

7. RAMS and method statements

Risk assessments and method statements must be suitable and proportionate to the works.

RAMS should cover:

No operative or subcontractor should start work without understanding the safe system of work.

8. Work at height and roof work

Roof work and work at height are high-risk activities.

Evenii must ensure:

9. Emergency roof repairs

Emergency roof repairs must be managed as safe make-safe first, not reckless permanent repair.

The immediate priorities are:

  1. protect life and prevent injury
  2. prevent further water ingress where safe
  3. isolate unsafe areas
  4. communicate clearly with the client
  5. record the condition with photos
  6. recommend a permanent repair route where required

Emergency attendance does not remove the need for risk assessment.

If conditions are unsafe due to wind, rain, ice, lightning, poor visibility, fragile materials, unsafe access or uncontrolled public interface, works must be paused, delayed or limited to safe containment.

10. Surveys and condition reports

Survey work must be evidence-led.

Reports should normally include:

11. Landscaping, fencing and grounds works

For landscaping, fencing and grounds work, Evenii must consider:

Where excavation is involved, service checks and safe digging controls must be considered before breaking ground.

12. Site conduct

All Evenii staff and subcontractors must:

On occupied sites, extra care must be taken around residents, pupils, patients, staff, visitors and the public.

Photographic evidence should be captured where appropriate:

Photographs must be stored responsibly and should not include unnecessary personal information.

17. Waste and environmental controls

This includes:

18. Asbestos and hazardous materials

If asbestos or suspected asbestos-containing materials are discovered, works must stop in the affected area.

The issue must be escalated and managed in accordance with applicable asbestos requirements.

No person should disturb suspected asbestos unless properly trained, authorised and operating under the correct legal framework.

19. Accidents, incidents and near misses

Accidents, incidents and near misses must be reported promptly.

This includes:

The Director / Operations Lead must review serious incidents and ensure corrective action is taken.

20. Complaints and disputes

Complaints should be recorded and handled professionally.

The record should include:

Disputes involving payment, scope, delay, defects or contractual interpretation should be escalated internally before external escalation.

21. Payment, notices and construction contracts

For commercial construction contracts, Evenii should ensure that written terms clearly address:

22. Records and audit trail

Evenii should retain appropriate records, including:

Records should be stored securely and retained in line with legal, insurance, contractual and business requirements.

23. Stop-work authority

Any Evenii operative, supervisor or subcontractor has authority to stop work where there is a serious or uncontrolled risk.

No person should be penalised for stopping work on genuine safety grounds.
