Understanding Standby Man Regulations
Summary
The role of a standby man involves monitoring safety in confined spaces, ensuring communication, and initiating emergency procedures. Training should include safety regulations, first aid, and confined space rescue. Employers must comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, particularly Regulations 4 and 5, which cover safe systems of work and emergency arrangements. If a standby man lacks first aid or confined space training, it may indicate a regulatory breach. Consider discussing these concerns with your employer or seeking legal advice for further action.Full Conversation
