Together with the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft, an in-house seminar was held from 25 - 29 April at the VBG premises in Seligmannallee in Hanover to acquire the expertise for safety and health protection when working in contaminated areas. Mr Kupka and Dr Stange-Bopp from the VBG and Mr Hartmann from M&P were available as lecturers for the seminar. The seminar and the final examination complied with the requirements of DGUV regulation 101-004 and the technical rules for hazardous substances TRGS 524. 12 colleagues from the Hanover and Osnabrück sites took part in the seminar. All participants successfully passed the final examination and have thus demonstrated their expertise in working in contaminated areas. From now on, they can act as coordinators on construction sites with contaminated areas and draw up work and safety plans in accordance with TRGS 524. As responsible persons, they can also carry out instructions and prepare risk assessments and operating instructions.
In the seminar, the participants were taught various contents that are important for working in contaminated areas. In addition to the basics arising from state and trade association legislation, the contents of TRGS 524 and DGUV-R 101-004 were taught in detail. Hazardous substance properties and the corresponding protective measures were discussed in detail and an introduction to occupational medicine was given by a VBG doctor. Once the content of the course had been explained, the participants had to work in groups to draw up a work and safety plan for three case studies. Group 1 dealt with the topic of remediation of a contaminated site, group 2 had to draw up an A+S plan for building remediation and group 3 had the task of drawing up an A+S plan for fire damage remediation. All three groups completed the tasks with flying colours and then presented their concepts at the seminar.
For the planning of remediation work in contaminated areas, we offer our clients the preparation of work and safety plans (A+S plans) in accordance with DGUV-R 101-004 / TRGS 524. For work in contaminated areas, the building owner/client is obliged to pass on a description of the type and concentration of the hazardous substances and the safety measures to the remediation company/contractor. This information must be passed on in the form of an A+S plan.
In addition to the general data on those involved and responsible and a description of the site, the A+S plans prepared by us contain a presentation of the results of the project-relevant hazardous substances, a description of the activities within the scope of the remediation project, a risk assessment and the planning of the protective measures.
On Friday, the participants then had to pass a written test in order to obtain their certificate of competence.
