For industrial building projects, DISC Belgium organises safety co-ordination. In accordance with the Royal Decree on Temporary or Mobile Construction Sites, DISC Belgium assigns level A or B safety co-ordinators on your industrial building project. The following services are provided during your project:

During the design phase

• • Preparation and maintenance of safety and health plan.
• • Creation and maintenance co-ordination journal.
• • Creation of a post-intervention file.
• • Setting up a co-ordination structure (if applicable; for level A projects).

During the implementation phase

• Job site visits by the co-ordinator in safety and health matters.
• The number of visits will depend on the project. On average, one visit per week or once every two weeks. The job site will be visited at least during the critical phase(s); during the visits, observations will be noted and reported. Any critical phases should be stated in the safety & health plan.
• Attending progress meetings.
• If necessary, in consultation with the client, additional job site visits will be carried out.
• Chairing the co-ordination structure meetings (if applicable).

At the end of the assignment

• Completion and delivery of the post-intervention file.
• All of the aforementioned co-ordination instruments are handed over to the site manager/client at the moment of provisional acceptance.

Safety and Health Plan shows the job-site structures and the health and safety guidelines related to the specific building project. Risks that are specific to the building site will be inventoried and assessed in this plan. Before the start of work, the contractors must prepare their own health and safety plan and submit it to the safety co-ordinator, who will review the risk evaluations and co-ordinate among them. Note: the health and safety plans of the contractors should be submitted to the safety co-ordinator 1 to 2 weeks before the start of work.

The co-ordination journal shows the information and comments concerning the co-ordination and events on the job site.

The post intervention file is the file containing the elements relevant to safety and health that must be taken into account during work that may be carried out later and that has been adapted to the characteristics of the construction.

A co-ordination structure should be set up on all job sites where either the probable work volume will exceed 5,000 man-days or where the total price of the work, estimated by the project supervisor responsible for the design, will exceed €2,500,000, ex VAT, and where at least three contractors are carrying out work simultaneously.
