TRA datasheet outlines responsibilities
December 1st 2006

With safety on building sites coming increasingly under the spotlight, members of the Trussed Rafter Association are frequently asked to advise on safe working practices for operations over which they have no control, or where they have no knowledge of the handling aids or methods of erection available.

To clarify its position as a supplier of building components to site, the Association, working in collaboration with the HSE, has developed a product sheet called Health & safety policy for the loading, haulage, delivery and erection of trussed rafters on site – a definition of responsibilities.

The data sheet sets out, in the form of a short Code of Practice, the responsibility accepted when a TRA member enters into a Supply Only contract.
