Red and Yellow Card Scheme

Lindum Group has introduced a red and yellow card system to address health and safety breaches on construction sites. A red card will result in immediate removal from site for 3 years for serious offenses like unsafe work practices. A yellow card is given for less serious offenses like not wearing PPE properly. Receiving a second yellow card within 6 months can also result in removal from site. Fines of £250 and £50 will be imposed on subcontractors for red and yellow card offenses, respectively.

RED AND YELLOW CARD SCHEME

Lindum Group (any construction/building division within Lindum Group Ltd) has introduced a red and
yellow card procedure to target certain high risk breaches of their health and safety systems.

There will be two levels of breaches. A breach is hereinafter referred to as an “offence”. A Red Card
will be issued for the most serious offences and will result in the immediate removal from site. A Yellow
Card will be issued for the less serious offences. For directly employed staff the disciplinary procedure
will be followed for all Red Card breaches.

A “Red Card” and a “Yellow Card” each consist of a written notice from Lindum Group to the offender
and their employer (which will include the Sub-Contractor where the offender is on site on behalf of the
Sub-Contractor) identifying the offence committed and identifying it as either a Red Card offence or a
Yellow Card offence.

Red Card Offences:


The following actions will result in removal of the offender from the workplace for a period of 3 years. In
addition, a payment/allowance to Lindum Group from the Sub-Contractor of £250.00 in respect of each
offence committed by them or by anyone on site on their behalf .:-
 Unsafe work at height.
 Abuse of and/or putting the public at risk.
 Flagrant disregard for the safety method statement.
 Urinating and defecating in unauthorised location.
 Drugs and alcohol abuse.
 Working within unsafe excavations and confined spaces.
 Misuse of scaffolding or access equipment.
 Unauthorised use of plant.
 Illegal discharges into drainage or water courses.
 Misuse of fire prevention equipment.
 Unauthorised work on asbestos-containing materials.
 Smoking in restricted areas
 Operating plant while using a mobile phone
 The receipt of more than one Yellow Card issued by Lindum Group within a 6 month period

In addition, a Red Card offence may result in termination of the employment of the Sub-Contractor who
or whose person has committed the offence.

Yellow Card Offences:


 Not wearing hard hats.
 Not wearing safety footwear.
 Incorrect use of PPE.
 Misuse of lifting appliances and equipment.
 Misuse of tools and equipment.
 Use of mobile telephone in unsafe areas.
 Misuse of welfare facilities.
 Use of 240v tools.

After a Yellow Card notice has been issued, should a further offence be committed by the same person
and or Sub-Contractor on any site within a period of 6 months from the original offence (the continuance
of the original offence by the offender shall be deemed to be a further offence), Lindum Group may
require the removal of the offender (which will include the Sub-Contractor where the offender is on site
on behalf of the Sub-Contractor) from the workplace, either temporarily, for a certain period of time or
permanently, at the sole discretion of Lindum Group.
In addition a Yellow Card offence will result in a payment/allowance to Lindum Group from the Sub-
Contractor of £50.00 in respect of each offence.
