1. Location Plan

This plan is normally provided by the architect or engineer responsible for the "Work Project". The aim is to locate the site within the surrounding buildings.

It is not necessary to indicate any safety elements on the plan, unless it is to be subsequently used for the laying out of evacuation routes for accident victims.

The following should be indicated in detail:

• The north.
• The name of the streets which border the plot upon which building work is to take place.
• Number of the plot with regards to the streets.
• In the case of industrial estates, the name of the industrial estate and the parcel corresponding to the plot must be indicated.
• Characteristic reference points of the area, in particular those of other works in the surrounding areas.
• Mark out the plot and make it distinguishable.
• Mark out the building area and make it distinguishable within the plot.
• Delimit the width of the streets which border the plot.
• Delimit the distance of the building area with regards to the borders of the plot.
• Delimit the sides of the perimeter of the plot.
• Delimit the sides of the perimeter of the building area of the plot.

The measures to be followed in order to protect public services and/or town planning in the area, such as changes to the layout of electrical grids, telephone networks, traffic signs, traffic lights, etc, shall also be indicated. Likewise, there shall be indication of the protection to be used for trees, bushes and any other urban element.

These plans must also show the areas for the elimination and storage of waste, the storage of hazardous materials, and the location of elevation and fixed machinery.

Those areas which, given their characteristics, may have particular hazards: flooding, collapse, fire, gas leak, explosion, etc, must be indicated in a separate plan.

2. Plan(s) of general organisation of work.

This should indicate the situation of the following elements:

• Occupation of the pavement and width of streets.
• Accesses to the site for staff and machinery.
• Location of public services, such as sewers and gas, electricity and water conducts, etc.
• Road and safety signage.
• Location of fixed machinery.
• Routes for machinery when moved horizontally around the site.
• Area of influence of the tower crane.
• Location of the workshops, areas for the storage of palletised materials and/or bulk materials and warehouses.
• Location of hygiene and well-being facilities and services, site office, etc.
• Location of the first aid cabinet and fire extinguishers.
• Pedestrian circulation around the perimeter of the site and protection against falling objects.
• Location of provisional site facilities (water, electricity, sewers, etc).
• Signage of the route for accident victims: This is a plan indicating the route to follow in order to transfer accident victims to the closest hospital or hospitals, with possible alternative routes. This plan should also include the telephone numbers of the hospitals.
  The following should be indicated:
  1. Internal evacuation of accident victims.
  2. Evacuation of accident victims from the site to the closest hospital, both for peak times and times when traffic is reduced.
  3. Location of the first aid cabinet on the site.
  4. Location of the "Important Telephone Numbers" poster.
  5. Emergency signage.
  6. Location of the site alarm or acoustic signal emitter.

3. Plans of the different stages of work.

At least the following site plans should be drawn up:

1) Excavation area and discharge from the site.

With indication of the following elements:

• Ramps, slopes, wide areas.
• Protection to be used.
• Pedestrian access to the excavation area.
• Location of all work involving particular hazards (collapse, explosion, fire, etc).
• Signage.
• Delimitation of areas of action of the machinery.

2) Horizontal section plans.

There shall be one for each different floor and phase, indicating:

• Horizontal shafts.
• Defence and protection items used.
• Location of ideal areas for storage.
• Location of scaffolding.
• Location of elevation machinery.
• Location of emergency equipment and means.
• Signage on each floor.

3) Roof plan.

One for each different roof, indicating:

• Horizontal shafts on the roof.
• Defence and protection items used.
• Location of ideal areas for storage.
• Location of scaffolding.
• Location of elevation machinery.

4. Section plan and/or elevation plan of work.

At least a section plan or elevation plan of the building must be drawn up, showing in detail:

• Elevation means: elevation machinery, load elevators, etc.
• Collective protection used, such as vertical safety nets, horizontal safety nets, slab top safety rails, ramps and steps, protection nets, etc.
• Auxiliary means: scaffolding, platforms for incoming and outgoing materials, etc.
• Lifelines: Location of anchorings and safety points, lifelines, etc.

5. Location of work involving particular hazards

The plans should show the points and areas where work involving particular hazards is taking place.

6. Standard diagram of the provisional electrical installation on the site.

• Electrical cabinets.
• General protection panel.
• Connections.
• Earth connection, etc.
• Provisional electrical installation at the site.

7. Layout plans.

The layout plans for at least the following safety elements must be drawn up:

• Layout of the anchorings for the positioning of protection rail supports: slab top safety rails, steps safety rails, roof safety rails, horizontal shaft safety rails, etc.
• Layout of attachment or sink rings for support and/or securing of safety net bearers.
• Layout of horizontal safety net bearers.
• Anchoring layout for the perimeter roping (vertical and horizontal nets, facade nets, shaft nets, etc.).
• Layout of the anchor points of the canopies.
• Scaffolding layout points: European scaffolding, electrical motor scaffolding, etc.
• Layout points of the load elevator towers, site lift towers, etc.
• Layout of the attachment points of the lifeline anchorings.
• Layout of the fixed safety points of the site.

In general, it is necessary to draw up and include layout plans for all collective protections, scaffoldings, etc, as necessary from the point of view of safety.

8. Distribution plan and location of safety elements for subsequent maintenance of the construction.

The plans should envisage and indicate all the elements established in the project for the conservation of the building and for its maintenance and repair over its lifetime, such as safety cables and their anchoring points, access points for monitoring and control, areas set aside for changing rooms and lavatories, location of fire extinguishers, safety signs, protection fencing, safety rails, scaffolding, use of nets, location of points for rubble chutes, etc.

9. Detail plan.

This shall include details of the protection means and auxiliary means, machinery and other elements as required:

• Safety rails
• Perimeter nets
• Scaffolding
• Tower scaffolding
• Coverings
• Canopies
• Fencing
• Roof-edge protection
• Material discharge platform, etc

It is necessary to also include detail plans for site equipment and machinery obstructions, with electrical layouts and grids, safety distances, protection distances, transit passages, provisional lighting, intersections with sewer facilities, drinking water installations, pipelines, gas lines, etc.
