Most organisations do not need a health and safety department. They need one competent person who understands exactly what the law places on them, what their client's contract adds on top, and what has to be produced to demonstrate both.
We provide that function. Depending on your position — client, principal designer, principal contractor or specialist subcontractor — the duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 differ considerably, and so does the documentation that will be asked for. We establish which duties apply to you, identify where the gaps sit today, and close them.
What the service includes
Duty-holder gap analysis
A written assessment of the duties that apply to your organisation under CDM 2015, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the relevant statutory instruments, and of where your current arrangements fall short.
Construction phase plans
Project-specific plans written for the works as actually programmed, at a level of detail that reflects the scale and risk of the project rather than a generic template.
Pre-construction information
Assembly and issue of the information the principal designer and principal contractor need before work begins, including site constraints, existing hazards and asbestos information.
F10 notification
Preparation and submission of notification to the Health and Safety Executive for notifiable projects, and advice on whether a project is notifiable at all.
Principal contractor representation
Acting as your representative for all health and safety matters on site, including liaison with the client, the principal designer, subcontractors and the enforcing authority.
Policy and arrangements
Preparation and annual review of your health and safety policy statement, organisation and arrangements — the document clients and insurers ask for first.
Competent person appointment
Appointment as your named competent person under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
What you get
- A clear written statement of the duties that apply to you
- Documentation that reflects the work as it is actually carried out
- A single named consultant who knows your projects
- Evidence packaged in the form your client and insurer expect
