Health and Safety

We offer advice on all matters relating to the Health and Safety at Work Acts and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 in relation to all types of building contracts.

From 6 April 2007 significant changes have come about with the introduction of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007. Now in force these new regulations require the replacement of the Planning Supervisor with a new Health and Safety CDM co-ordinator.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 recently replaced the Fire Precautions Act 1971, which required certain types of buildings to hold a fire certificate. In conjunction with the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1999 and the Management of Health and Safety in the Workplace Regulations 1999 fire risk assessments are now required to be carried out to buildings to assess whether they comply with the latest regulations.

Our services include the following:

• Preparation of pre-tender health and safety plans
• Acting as CDM Co-ordinator vetting contractors health and safety plans
• Maintaining health and safety regulations on site
