The CBE Operational hours are 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday .Anything outside of this ( including weekends) is classed as out of hours working.

Out of hours working should be for occasional, unavoidable and essential work only and should not be a regular working pattern. Work than can be done during normal operational hours in the  day (when more people are around )should be done during this time.

Working out of hours comes with additional risk due to the potential to be lone working in the facility.

If you are required to work out of hours you need to:

I)Complete a general risk assessment for  Lone Working  and submit to the Safety Officer. Please do this in advance to give time for approval. Ensure you have nominated an out of hours contact and the person nominated is aware they are your emergency contact. Your nominated out of hours contact should have a good understanding of CBE procedures.Ensure you include detail in your risk assessment to describe the work you will be doing .Ensure you identify all the hazards associated with working out of hours and include how you intend to mitigate these risks.

ii)On the day you will be working out of hours - Complete the Holywell Park out of hours register by completing the online form using the following link.

iii)Complete the out of hours book in the CBE office.
