The construction industry has a very bad reputation for being the cause of deaths, injuries and illness. The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007 was brought in to Law to try to address the safety related problems in not only identifying problems but to give all members of the project team, client, designer, contractor and all those employed on the project an awareness of the risks and how to identify and avoid or reduce such risks.

You, the client have a legal responsibility for Health and Safety on your project. To this end, we always issue a copy of the HSE's guidance leaflet to prospective clients. This is an excellent introduction to CDM and your responsibility to Health and Safety, giving you a starting point as to what you need to do.

The Billington Consultancy can provide a full range of services under CDM, ranging from preparing risk assessments for designers/clients, through to acting as CDM-Co-ordinators.

Our Services include:

• Providing early advice on the Design of the project
• Preparation of Pre-Tender/Pre-Construction Health & Safety Plan
• Advising the client on consultants and contractors
• Issuing Statutory Notices to the HSE
• Liaising with other Designers/Architects to ensure designs adequately address Health & Safety issues.
• Compiling As Built Health & Safety Documentation/Drawings
