This document contains guidance on Contractor supervisor ratios per number of people working on site and the expected level of supervisor training required by Contractors appointed by and working for a Charter signatory HBF home building organisation.
The purpose of the guidance is to help provide consistency regarding the health and safety knowledge and understanding required of any supervisor working for a Contractor who oversees the work of others to ensure that tasks are completed correctly, efficiently and safely.
This guidance constitutes the minimum acceptable ratios and level of health and safety competency for those supervising work activities, appropriate to the hazards and risks involved in tasks being undertaken, and the number of the workforce being supervised.
