Hazards in Constructions

One aspect that we take seriously are hazards in constructions. Risks are ongoing on any construction site but, through active management, we work to reduce the risks associated with such hazards. Working at height, material handling and the many other potential hazards, require we work with everyone involved to recognize all risks and manage them.

Pre-start site meetings are held daily, where we discuss any problems and seek solutions before work begins. We place a significant emphasis on ensuring everyone plays a strong role in maintaining safety on-site.

CDM 2015 Compliance

Site management is about managing health and safety, so we make sure that we are CDM 2015 compliant.

We identify and manage all risks in project planning and throughout the duration of the work. We make sure we put the right people on the right jobs. Collaboration is vital in the process; this requires making information about the risks available to everyone involved and the issues managed professionally. We consult and engage with workers to ensure they understand the risks and adhere to all guidelines.
