## Summary

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.

## 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.

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.
