Darwin Constructions will take all necessary measures to ensure high standards of safety, health and welfare at work for all our employees and sub-contractors in fulfilment of our moral and legal responsibilities under the current Health & Work Act; the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations, and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. The health and safety of our employees, sub-contractors and all those likely to be affected by our operations is the recognised responsibility of the Directors.
The business’ safety policy details the responsibility of safety matters at all levels of management and is displayed to all employees and sub-contractors working for the business. Our policy sets out the business’ safety standards and responsibilities and is reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that all changes in legislation are incorporated and that our procedures and their implementation remain effective.
The CDM regulations established a safety management network at all stages in the development of a construction project. Responsibilities are imposed on the client to appoint a Principal Designer who is responsible to review designs and safety risks, ensure co-operation amongst all designers, prepare a Construction Phase health and safety plan, and prepare a Health & Safety File on completion of the Project. The chain of responsibility for day to day matters on site is delegated from the Directors to the site managers who are charged with ensuring safe working practices throughout the course of the contract and that the Health and Safety Plan is followed.
This may involve instituting specific safety measures appropriate to the project and ensuring safe methods of work are adopted by any specialist sub-contractors. The business will use a competent person to provide specialist advice on all health and safety matters as well as making site inspections and reporting their findings to both Site Management and the Client. We are therefore able to ensure that our methods of working and high safety standards are maintained in line with our stated policy.
