1st June 2010. Some positive feedback following my visit on 3 June 2010 to Pacy & Wheatley site Of particular interest was the specific use of the 'point of work' risk assessment as explained to me by your site manager, Michael Collins. Such work often falls outside of a contractors / sub-contractors specific risk assessment / method statement and it is useful to know that your company has a procedure for dealing with this situation.
