IBWR documentation

Who prepares the IBWR document?

Contractor, subcontractor, or designer prior to the execution of works is obligated to draw up instructions for safe exercise and acquaint them with her staff in the performance of their works. (art.2 Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 6 February 2003 on health and safety during construction works (OJ 2003 No. 47 , item . 401).

The procedure:

the instruction shall contain all the hazards and risk related to performed works, ways of protect the employees and solutions minimalizing the risk of accidents,
each contractor is obligated to develop the IBWR instruction and get familiar with it’s content to all the staff, who will be running the works,
The work manager is to conduct the training going through the IBWR instruction,
After hearing the IBWR , each employee is required to confirm the fact with the signature acquainted with it.
Related documentation is kept by the contractor.

What is the IBWR?

The regulations (Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 6 February 2003 on health and safety during construction works (OJ 2003 No. 47 , item . 401) states that IBWR is the way to prevent the risks related to performed works, that are mentioned in art. 21a paragraph. 2 of the Act of 7 July 1994 – Construction Law (Journal of Laws of 2000 No. 106, item. 1126, as amended. amended.), and the way to conduct in case of the risks.

H&S regulations do not determine what specifically should be contained in the IBWR instruction and how should it be developed, therefore we do it according to countrywide agreement regarding the IBWR: http://porozumieniedlabezpieczenstwa.pl

Before starting to perform the works, the subcontractor is obligated to provide the IBWR for the works due to:

art. 21a, paragraph 2 of The Act of 7 July 1994 – Construction Law (Journal of Laws of 2000 No. 106, item. 1126, as amended. Amended),
general risk assessment, contained in the BIOZ plan,
risk assessment conducted by the subcontractor.

The obligation to prepare IBWR concerns the scope of work specified in the Construction Law (Journal of Laws of 1994 No. 89 item. 414) art. 21a paragraph. 2, in works:

the nature, organization, or place of business poses a particularly high risk of security threats and human health, in particular burial ground or a fall from a height,
the course of which there are effects of chemicals or biological agents that threaten the health and safety of people,
hazardous ionizing radiation,
conducted nearby the power lines or active lines of communication,
posing a risk of employees drowning,
conducted on wells, underground earthworks and in tunnels,
performed with a vehicle powered from overhead lines,
performed in the caissons, with the atmosphere generated from the compressed air,
requiring the use of explosives,
conducted during assembly or dismantling of heavy prefabricated components.

BIOZ plan

Who develops the BIOZ plan?

The obligation to draw or provide the BIOZ plan (art. 21a of the Construction Law, Journal of Laws of 1994 No. 89 item. 414) rests with the construction manager. Construction Manager may delegate to draw up a plan BiOZ to a company with experience and expertise in this field. The BIOZ plan gives the ability to effectively convey the necessary information concerning the safe organization of work on the contract and reduce the risk of accident.

The procedure:

BIOZ plan is drawn by the construction manager according to BIOZ information included in the construction design by the designer,
BIOZ plan should be drawn by the construction manager before the construction starts, and should involve the specific of the building and the conditions for conducting works,
the construction designer is obligated to make a statement about drawing the BIOZ plan, acceptance of the obligation of constructor designer, which the investor should attach to the information about the date of the work commencement,
each employee is obligated to become acquainted with the BIOZ plan, and testify it by their own signature.

What is the BIOZ plan?

It’s a document containing information concerning:

scope of work for the whole investment as well as the various stages of implementation
