Twelve findings from the weekly safety walk. Decide which work stops now under the procedure, deal with a roofing contractor who wants to keep working, and tell the client the truth about the scaffold she has come to see.
Read the full brief
You are the site safety advisor on a busy housing site. You sort the morning's safety walk findings into the procedure's categories, stopping the work that meets a stop now criterion and not the work that only looks alarming. Then you deal with a roofing contractor whose last hot works permit was never closed and who wants to carry on before the rain, and you prepare what the site manager needs to tell the client about the scaffold she has come to see. Automated checks confirm your counts and saved work; your judgement is reviewed against the standard for the role.
What is Pellow Construction?
Pellow Construction is a fictional building contractor. At Wharf Lane in Bristol it is principal contractor on a six storey block of 54 flats for a housing association, with about 70 people on site from many subcontractors. A site safety procedure sets out when work must stop. This case runs on Wednesday 2 December 2026.
Who do you play?
You are the site safety advisor in the Wharf Lane site team team.
You inspect the site and keep the safety register. You must stop any work that meets a stop now criterion, and you may issue and suspend hot works and excavation permits. You may not dismiss a subcontractor, change the programme or agree anything with the client. Declan, the site manager, does those. Anything you tell the client is agreed with Declan.
