Draft Overview of HPC Construction - EDF Hinkley Point

c) Working Hours5.3.4 The working patterns of particular groups of workers will be determined by the needsof the construction phase. Security staff will work shifts to cover the full 24-hourperiod with higher numbers on duty at times of workforce shift changeover and peakmaterial deliveries. Similarly, catering and cleaning staff will not necessarily work thesame shift patterns as other staff. Most office workers will work a normal day shift.Further information on shift patterns can be found in the Draft Workforce ProfileReport.d) Site Access and Security5.3.5 Workers will access the site via turnstiles operated by their identity passes. They willbe subject to searches in accordance with the site security plan as they enter andleave the site. The main personnel access is in the northern part of the site where thebusses set down and pick up. Additional access turnstiles will be provided at thesouth entrance for freight vehicle drivers and workers staying at the on-site campus.e) Site Offices and Welfare Facilities5.3.6 As previously mentioned, the individual contractors will be required to providechanging, welfare and all other necessary facilities for their own staff within theircompounds. EDF Energy will also provide welfare facilities including toilets, canteensand a medical centre supplemented by first aid points within the main constructionarea for the use of all workers.5.3.7 The medical centre will provide a 24-hour service. In addition to the treatment ofminor injuries and ailments, the medical centre will provide preventative health care.In the event of any serious injuries, the on-site medical team will provide first aid andthe local emergency services will be called to take any casualties to hospital.5.3.8 Drug and alcohol testing will be carried out in accordance with the site policies onworkers entering the site. Smoking will not be permitted on-site except within clearlydesignated smoking areas.5.3.9 The on-site campus will be separated from the main construction site by a securityfence. The campus will provide accommodation and recreation facilities and willoperate independently of the main construction site.5.4 Construction Waste and Excavated Materials5.4.1 All material excavated on site will be stored in designated areas for re-use. Theexcavated material will be utilised for construction of the site terraces or platforms aspart of the back-fill for the power station excavations or for landscaping.5.4.2 There will be a policy of waste reduction which will include reducing packagingmaterial, consistent with the need for protection of sensitive items; re-use of itemsand recycling of remaining materials. This will be facilitated by the appointment of asite waste management contractor, who will receive the construction waste from thevarious construction and erection contractors and take the accumulated waste toappropriate sorting and recycling facilities. Further details on the management ofwaste arising from the Hinkley Point C Project are provided in the DraftConstruction Phase Waste Management Strategy.DRAFT | Overview of HPC Construction | February 2011 35
