Construction health & safety comes under various  government legislation.  The most important of these is the CDM (Construct Design Management) regulations.  Croft is fully committed to the regulations and produces risk assessments for all projects where CDM regulations apply.

To comply with the regulations planning supervisors must be appointed on all projects.  It is the responsibility of the Client to ensure a Planning Supervisor with adequate experience is appointed.  Croft does not undertake planning supervisor roles but we do have an organization we can recommend if required.

When do CDM Regs Apply

They apply to construction work unless:

• the work will last 30 days or less and involve less than five people on site at any one time; or
• the work is being done for a domestic client (that is someone who lives, or will live, in the premises where the work is being done). In this case only the duties to notify HSE and those placed on designers apply. However, in some instances domestic clients may enter into an arrangement with a developer who carries on a trade, business or other activity. For example, a developer may sell domestic premises before the project is complete. The domestic client then owns the incomplete property, but the developer still arranges for the construction work to be carried out. In this case the CDM requirements apply to the developer.
