Description

The supplier will be required to manage the assessments, appointment and re-appointment of new and existing Authorised Persons (AP's) using the current Safety Rules to ensure on-going compliance. The disciplines involved include HV; LV (complex systems and generation); Steam and Pressure Systems; Confined Spaces; POL (35 second fuel oil); work at height and on roofs; and access to and work in confined and restricted spaces. They will also undertake audits of the AP's and the use of the safety documentation and report to Parliamentary Estates stating how compliantly it is being operated and managed and identifying aspects requiring improvement. The Authorised Engineers will review recent examples of safety documentation raised by AP's and will report on these in terms of their accuracy completeness and adequacy to meet the requirements of the Safety Rules. The appointed Consultancy will also undertake a fundamental review of the existing Safety Rules, Procedures, Permit to Work Systems and documentation. It is anticipated that this review will identify changes to the Safety Rules, Documentation and Procedures and result in them being more consistent and easier to use. The forms and supplementary documents by which are an integral part of the system documentation are also to be reviewed.
