HEALTH & SAFETY CONSULTANCY
Construction Health, Safety and Waste Management
calfordseaden health & safety has been providing this service since the inception of the Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations in 1995. As CDM Coordinator, our holistic approach, to managing health and safety on construction projects, coupled with the experience and knowledge acquired over the years provides us with the competence and flexibility required to meet the challenges of current and future construction projects.
With a team of experienced health and safety consultants, with varied construction backgrounds and members of relevant professional intuitions, the services we offer comply with current health and safety legislation.
To assist our clients comply with their obligations under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and the Site Waste Management Regulations 2008 respectively, we provide optional services which include the following:
- Site Safety Inspections
- Site Safety Audits
- Site Waste Management Plans
Our approach to service delivery on projects, in effect makes calfordseaden health & safety a "one-stop" shop for construction health and safety services.
Under the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008, any client who intends to carry out a project on a construction site with an estimated cost greater than £300,000 (excluding VAT) must prepare a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) conforming to the regulations before construction work begins.
The SWMP needs to be written at the construction design stage, but it is a requirement of the SWMP Regulations to maintain it during the entire project. Therefore, the client (or principal contractor) is also responsible for updating the Plan with the site's day-to-day activity.
For projects with construction costs between £300,000 to £500,000 and above £500,000, the regulations place specific requirements on the quality of information to be provided when updating the SWMP.
calfordseaden health & safety is able to work closely with the client, the project design team and the principal contractor to ensure a suitable SWMP is produced and maintained for the project duration. To facilitate this process all commissions are run on a dedicated web-based portal.
