Thesedocuments also served to develop, and inform on-going discussionsassociated with, this SoCG. The PAC 2 and PAC3 comments formed the basisfor the topics included in the first draft of the SoCG, since when the topicshave evolved in response to the progress of discussions and the examinationhearings.Page 7

Based on a peak of 2,000 home based workers, the project will needup to 7,000 bed spaces from Non-Home Based (NHB) workers. The project will accommodate thesethrough: 4,000 bed spaces on the Site Campus (purpose built Temporary Workers Accommodation on-site);and The use of 3,000 bed spaces in existing accommodation across Anglesey and parts of the mainland.RAGFurther actions required to progressdiscussion on the issueAgreedNo further actionNWFRS are in agreement that this represents an appropriate basis for service planning.

Both partiesagree, however, that whilst the accommodation may meet safety requirements consideration needs tobe given to ensuring that appropriate advice can be provided to the construction workers with regard topersonal risk.Both parties agree that there is benefit in engaging NWFRS in the education of the constructionworkforce on fire safety (which could input into fire safety campaigns and the provision of periodic firesafety briefings to the population of the Site Campus and those within off site accommodation).NWFRS 8.2.19 comments incorporated intojoint statement, though NWFRS haveadvised they would like the RAG to remain‘on-going’.OngoingHorizon and NWFRS will continue to liaise as part of the emerging Community Safety ManagementStrategy (CSMS), the principles of which are set out in the revised CoCP submitted at Deadline 5 withthe submission of a detailed CSMS being secured by a DCO requirement (PW11).Both parties are agreed that any NWFRS involvement in such education would be funded by Horizonthrough the Emergency Services (Fire) Contribution.

Site hours for different stages of constructionare set out in the sub CoCPs (which will be updated at Deadline 5) and were subject to a Request forNon-Material Change (at Deadline 4).The assumed shift patterns are in staggered shifts in both the day and night time periods. The starttimes set out in the Request for Non-Material Change (which have not yet been formally accepted intothe examination) are a typical indication and would still allow for 24 hour working for activities such astunneling and dredging (these activities are listed in the sub CoCPs).AgreedNo further actionAll workers will be registered on a database for site security purposes and this will provide a source ofdata to determine where workers will be living as well as their daily shift patterns. This database will bemanaged by Horizon and its supply chain, and it will be updated as worker numbers and locationschange over the course of the construction period.Page 10
