Q
Security 'R' Us is a small security provision service company operating in an older part of the western suburbs. Security 'R' Us have recently moved to new work premises due to expansion in their business.
The activities carried out by Security 'R' Us include, providing:
· security guards at banks, hospitals and the local university
· armed guards for valuables, transport escorts
· security patrols to many industrial premises and schools in the greater metropolitan area
With the move came the need for modification to the new workplace. The building had been constructed some 90 years ago. The asbestos register indicated that there is a significant amount of asbestos still in situ.
In considering how to best manage the refurbishment project, the managing director is considering using a contract maintenance team to make modifications to the building, which requires removing 2 walls and part of the floor.
Works will be carried out during normal working hours, with approximately half of the workforce including guards, administrative staff and the management team likely to be exposed to significant dusts that will be created during the works from drilling, sawing, manual dusting and sweeping.
Identify the people at Security 'R' Us who should be consulted or involved in identifying the risks involved in the relocation and the reasons for their involvement. Suggest appropriate mechanisms for their involvement.
