The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 1994 require that health and safety is taken into account and managed throughout all stages of a project.
CDM requires that everyone who can contribute to improving site health and safety plays their part.
The regulations apply to all contracting work we carry out with the exception of:
that carried out inside offices, shops etc where the construction work is done without interrupting the normal activities in the premises.
when the work will last 30 days or less and involve less than five people on site at any one time.
when the work is being done for a domestic client.
When we act as the principal contractor on site when the regulations apply, we will inform the HSE of the site on the appropriate form if not already done by the client and devise a health and safety plan, including method statements and risk assessments.
We also provide all health and safety information to the planning supervisor or principal contractor as required for the project and safety files.
