CDM SERVICES

What are CDM Regulations?

CDM Regulations are a set of statutory instruments which are specific to construction health and safety purposes. The regulatory process involves checking that working conditions are safe and healthy for all employees in construction site. CDM regulations also ensure that construction site continuing work and final project result poses a risk to customers.

However, these regulations can often be complex and require a large degree of knowledge in the field to make sure that your project comfortably stays within regulatory rules. That’s where our CDM Advisors can aid your organisation to be compliance in order to save cost, time and prosecution.

Our CDM Services includes:

  • Advise and assist the client with their CDM duties for the duration of the project.

CHAS ACCREDITATION

What is CHAS?

CHAS stands for the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme. CHAS is a health and safety accreditation scheme for the construction industry and often acts as a type of pre-qualification during the tender process. Some buyers will require CHAS to be gained before they will allow you to tender, and this is being seen more often in public procurement such as for councils, schools and other public sector bodies.

The purpose of CHAS is to help both buyers (your potential clients) and suppliers (usually contractors) in the assessment of health and safety competence. CHAS can help buyers by reducing the lengthy process of assessing contractors health and safety standards individually. CHAS can also help contractors like you by reducing the time consuming process of completing and submitting full details of health and safety processes on each project they compete for.

Should I get CHAS accredited?

CHAS accreditation is not a legal requirement, but it can aid to verify your health and safety management system and show clients that you take the safety of your workforce seriously. Bigsunny Services will help your company to be CHAS accredited, while you focus on your business
