Health and safety effects all areas of our working lives, from working in a local school to in construction, it helps us govern and apply methods of practice that keeps us safe and happy in the
work place. When it comes to construction health and safety plays a major role in the way a project is carried out, from beginning to end. To ensure that any needed measures are noticed, and then working practise is then implemented and maintained, Health and Safety Consultants can be hired from agencies that are trained in law and legislation and therefore specialise in this area of expertise.
What exactly is a Health and Safety Consultant or CDM Advisor? CDM stands for Construction, Design & Management. In 1995, CDM Regulations placed needed legal obligations on all in the construction industry, with heavy penalties to any who do not meet the standards put in place. Although a CDM Advisor is not required by this law, or by any other legislation, abiding by this law is mandatory. It is therefore highly recommended, to help everyone take their roles in construction seriously, and to protect the interests of the individual project, getting an expert to help you implement, monitor and manage health and safety policies and procedures.
Risk management safety plays a huge part in ensuring that the areas you and staff are working in are kept as safe and healthy as possible. This is because, seeing and spotting any possible hazards goes hand in hand towards to finding the solution to the problem, and avoiding it. In some cases, it can be difficult to see what exactly poses a risk, especially when each construction project will be unique to the type of construction, and the area it is being undertaken. To help you manage all risk, you can make arrangements for a specialist from our services to make absolutely sure you have everything accounted for. We can also use our knowledge in this area to work on eliminating any risks that are found.
Having an in-depth knowledge of exactly what the law states means you are less likely to miss anything important. The processes you need to follow, as well as the health and safety law you need to meet in terms of health and safety audits and risk assessment evaluations, will be made easier with expert support. The actual requirements that come under CDM law is also something that our advisors have an in-depth knowledge of. So you don’t get to bogged down with understanding exactly what is required, when you have other equally important areas of the project to manage, you can hire one of our professional health and safety consultants to carry out that task for you, keeping you well-informed along the way.
Health and safety audits provide a checklist, or a list of specific criteria, that show you are meeting with the standards set in place by law governing the building construction industry.
