construction health and safety (cdm)

In accordance with the CDM Regulations 2015, anyone undertaking construction or building work is obliged to consider, plan, design and manage the risks involved in the construction and use of buildings.

The changes to the CDM Regulations place specific duties on the client in relation to the overall management of a project. The Principal Designer must be appointed in writing and cannot be presumed. If the client has failed to make the appointment of a Principal Designer, they themselves will then take on that responsibility for the purposes of the Regulations.

The act applies on projects of all scale and size and each party involved in a project has a role to play in ensuring the regulations are met and all legal regulations, relevant to Health and Safety, are discharged.

Regalia has extensive experience in acting on behalf of a client and have successfully guided project stakeholders through the process. Due to accidents and ill health that are caused by inter-related circumstances in construction, Regalia takes a holistic and multifaceted approach to our responsibility as Principal Designer. 

Our services include:

· Assisting the client and design team in developing the initial brief.

· Identifying, obtaining and collating the pre-construction information.

· Planning, managing and monitoring the co-ordination of the pre-construction phase. 

· Co-ordination of any significant health and safety issues with the design team through to resolution.

· Supporting and liaising with the principal contractor throughout the duration.

· Raising the necessary F10 notifications.

· Agreeing the format and assist in compiling the statutory health and safety file for formal handover at project completion.
