Construction Safety Management
The construction site is widely acknowledged as
being a hazardous work environment.
The
Construction (Design & Management) Regulations created five appointments
associated with the construction sector: the Client, the
Designer, the CDM Coordinator and the Principal Contractor and
the Contractor.
Each has very specific duties under the
Regulations. For the Principal Contractor, among his duties is
the requirement to develop the Pre-construction Information
into a project-specific safety management document. This is
the Construction Phase Plan, intended to detail how
the Principal Contractor will manage health and safety on site
throughout the construction phase.
A safe construction site is a money-saving construction site
SafetyWise
has worked with major clients both in the public and private
arena of the construction sector to develop Construction Phase
Plans for our clients. We can develop the Safety Plan for your
contract. The plan will meet with the requirements established
in the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP), L144 – Managing
Health and Safety In Construction.
Your company may be involved in projects
where a number of Employers (Contractors and Others) are
working towards a common goal, i.e. the completion of a
project. The Project Leader, or the Client (under CDM), or the
CDM Coordinator (appointed by the CDM Client) may
 wish
to convene meetings attended by all other duty holders to
discuss project safety management, particularly under the
Construction (Design & Management) Regulations.
SafetyWise
can assist in successful project management either directly at
the meetings on your behalf or by providing your managers with
practical support prior to the Project Meeting. Call us to
discuss how we might be able to assist you with those larger
projects. |
