1) Scope of Works The object of this Method Statement is to present how the asphalt will be laid at the above site 2) Personnel for this project Andy Holborn Mobile no – 07717 794658 T.B.C Mobile no – As Per Coversheet Operations Director T.B.C Mobile no – As Per Coversheet Contracts Manager T.B.C Mobile no – As Per Coversheet Site Supervisor Kevin Gregory Mobile no – 07701 320471 Site Foreman H&S Manager (off site) 3) Sequence of works (methodology) Machine Lay & Hand lay works- A supervisor will visit site 48 hours prior to commencement of work to complete a survey of agreed Area. He will liaise with the site engineer to agree on the measure of the area along with a comprehensive dip to ensure the correct formation of sub base is achieved. A copy of the dip sheet will be left with the site engineer. On arrival to site our supervisor, foreman and operatives, will then attend a site induction to make them fully aware of the site rules and regulations along with welfare facilities supplied by Barnwood Construction. The foreman and operatives will complete a pre check of all plant and equipment to ensure it is in safe working order prior to commencement of works. This is recorded on our Daily Plant Inspection forms (DPI01 form) and copies can be taken by if required. The supervisor and foreman will then brief his team on the details within this document and walk the site to discuss and agree on the best laying practices. The gang will consist of 7 surfacing operatives including a Foreman (These numbers could vary at short notice due to sickness / holidays). There will also be a Supervisor in attendance throughout the majority of the works but during times when the supervisor is not in attendance the Foreman will take full responsibility for the conduct and Safety of his team. Each operative will hold a CSCS card and either NPORS or CPCS Cards for the plant they operate. Segregation of works and TM will be the responsibility of the Client. The Supervisor / Foreman should liaise with the client to ensure good communication is maintained throughout the works. The sequencing of all work will be agreed with the client before the work begins. This Statement will NOT cover working around overhead cable or pylons. If either of these hazards are identified a Method statement for working near electricity should be issued by the Gibbs Surfacing H&S Manager (see section 4 Risk Assessment). The material will be delivered to site by 6/8 wheeled insulated Lorries. The agreed supplier will have been advised that all delivery drivers will be required to attend a delivery driver’s induction. A trained and competent banksman will direct the lorry to an agreed waiting area prior to laying the material. Segregation of works will be the responsibility of the Client. Where tack coat is required, we will supply a K140 bitumen emulsion that will be laid by hand held mechanical sprayer. KG003 Rev 3/2019

Machine Lay process - On commencement of machine lay work, a trained and competent banksman will direct the driver onto the front of the paving machine so that the materials can be loaded directly into the hopper. Regular visual checks of the material will be undertaken to ensure consistency and quality of material. Temperature of the material will also be monitored using a probe thermometer. Materials found to be below recommended minimum laying temperatures will be returned to quarry. Where applicable, subject to site conditions, the paving machine will push the lorry whilst still depositing the material into the hopper. If there are constraints on site then the lorry will lower its bed and pull off the front of the paving machine until all material is laid. All operatives must stand clear from the side of the paving machine when any moving parts are being lowered or raised. The above process will then repeated until all material from the lorry is deposited into the hopper. The material will then be compacted by a tandem roller and pedestrian hand roller where necessary. Once the unloading is completed, the driver will exit the site using the same entry route unless otherwise instructed. Hand Lay process - On commencement of hand lay work, the lorry will remain stationary and raise its insulated bed in preparation for use of the chutes. A particular care and attention need to be paid by the operatives to ensure the driver has secured the tailgate prior to using the chutes. The operative will then raise the chutes on the lorry and deposit material into the wheelbarrow. The operative will then deposit the material in the agreed area ready for hand laying. This process will be repeated until all material has been laid. The material will then be compacted by a pedestrian hand roller and whacker plate/hand tamper where necessary. Once the unloading is completed, the driver will exit the site using the same entry route unless otherwise instructed. Completion At the end of each working day, the foreman and operatives will leave all working areas clean and tidy and free of safety hazards. All plant and machinery will be left in a designated area where keys will be removed for security and safety purposes. 4) Breaking Ground If there is any requirement to break ground a permit should be issued by the main contractor and will include detailed information and STATS. A copy of this information will be given to the team involved with breaking ground in addition to this, when breaking ground at depths greater than 150mm in asphalt or concrete surfaces, a full survey with ground radar and or cat scan will be undertaken by the main contractor to identify the location and depth of underground services. The locations of underground services will be identified and the surface marked as appropriate. 5) Risk Assessment See attached risk assessment for each of the activities & processes identified in the above methodology. N.B. Risk Assessment and Method Statement are subject to change should the supervisors pre start visit highlight hazards not already considered in these documents. Any updated documents will be sent to the client upon completion. In the event of overhead cables there will need to be a separate Method statement issued and a rolling bed vehicle to be booked for delivery of materials. The booking of such vehicles requires notice and Gibbs Surfacing Ltd will not be held responsible for any delays caused by the Clients failure to notify us of electrical hazards / overhead cables / Pylons on site prior to our engagement. There are no aspects of our work that should require a separate permit to work i.e. confined space, hot works, ladders etc. KG003 Rev 3/2019

In the event if an accident/injury on site First Aid will be administered and the emergency services summoned where required. Any such occurrences are noted within our accident book and investigated. Near misses will be reported in the same way. 11) Housekeeping Workers on site are responsible for clearing the working area and ensuring it is left in a tidy, safe manner at the end of each working day. Any surplus material will be removed from site and disposed of in the correct manner and any plant will be left in a safe, secure place ready for use the next day or to be collected. 12) Quality Control Suppliers of materials are ISO9001 approved. Visual checks of materials when delivered are made along with temperature checks.
