IWA or COSS setting up safe systems of work within possessions
Synopsis
You will need this handbook if you carry out the duties of an IWA or COSS setting up safe systems of work within possessions.
Summary Of Changes
At section 3.5, the term ‘site warden warning’ has been amended to ‘separated’ to describe the arrangement under which an Individual Working Alone (IWA) could work without a site warden, or where a COSS works with one other person. The section has been amended to clarify also that an IWA cannot use a site warden as part of this safe system of work.
