When the
CDM
(Construction
Design &
Management)
regulations,
1994, came
into force
in early
1995, a new
emphasis was
put on
Health and
Safety.
Although
regulations
have existed
for many
years
controlling
all aspects
of work, the
CDM
regulations
now
insist that
unless all
legal
requirements
of Health
and Safety
are complied
with, a
contract
will not be
allowed to
start.
CDM places
responsibility
on everyone
involved
with a
contract
from the
client, main
contractor
and sub
contractor
right
through to
self-employed
operatives
with the
emphasis
being
trained.
Everglade
Windows
fully
endorse the
spirit of
these
regulations
through
their
qualified
Health and
Safety
Manager (MIOSH,
MIIRSM,
ACIOB) who
produces
tailored CDM
documentation
for each
client site
through
individual
site audits.
Everglade
Windows
ensures
Health and
Safety
practices
are carried
throughout
the project
duration
through to
ongoing and
unannounced
site visits
and client
safety
updates.
Everglade
Windows
also ensures
that all
staff are
trained in
Health &
Safety with
in-house
awareness
training,
risk
assessment
and First
Aider
training for
all main
areas of
site
management
as part of
the
requirements
for CSCS. |
