instructions

To create the correct file for your work, SOS requires full and accurate information about your company, the site, and the exact work to be carried out.

Please do not give only a short description such as “electrical work”, “maintenance”, or “roof repairs”.
You must provide the full scope of work and include everything that will be done on site.

What we mean by “full scope of work”

Your scope of work must clearly describe:

• the exact work to be carried out

• how the work will be done

• where the work will be done

• what tools, plant, equipment, machinery, access equipment, and materials will be used

• whether there will be work at height, electrical work, lifting, chemicals, hot work, excavation, confined spaces, public exposure, or any other high-risk activity

• the number of workers involved

• any site restrictions, access limitations, emergency concerns, or client requirements
  
  

Example of a poor scope of work

“Install solar panels”

Example of a better full scope of work

“Access warehouse roof by ladder and fall protection system, mark out panel positions, install mounting brackets and rails, lift and secure solar panels, install inverter, run and terminate cabling, connect to DB, test the system, and commission the installation.”I
