We see the provision of our professional services as a dynamic process and strive to be both responsive and attentive to our clients requirements. Aedas combines professionalism with technical competence and air. - Robert Grayson, Managing Director Building Consultancy
Construction Safety
Aedas Building Consultancy has teams of construction (health and safety) professionals in key locations that provide clear and consistent advice in this sector.
Drawing on our in-house construction expertise we provide advice on: yy Safe systems of work yy Assessment of risk yy Method statement content and preparation yy Construction phase safety planning yy Site safety auditing yy Accident investigation yy Policy review
Contractor Competence
Contractors are now required to demonstrate competence under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007. Aedas Building Consultancy can drive the process for you.
We have recognised that outsourcing has become the norm for maximising resources and prots for many organisations. Assumptions are often made that this also means that health and safety liability is delegated to service providers, which is incorrect. Duties can be delegated to the outsourcing contractor, but responsibility remains with the organisation. Any company that employs the services of a contractor to carry out work on their behalf (whether for cleaning, catering, construction or other services) has a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure that person is competent. The experience of Aedas Building Consultancy across the construction industry allows our clients to benet from an unrivalled level of expertise in contractor assessment and monitoring. Our services in this area include: yy Provision of Pre-Qualication Assessment Questionnaires yy Vetting of responses yy On site monitoring and feedback to the client yy Audits of contractors health and safety management on client sites
Training
Legislation has put greater emphasis on the requirements of competence and the need for appropriate training. It is therefore essential that time devoted to training is both cost effective and rewarding.
Aedas Building Consultancy has developed core training and seminar modules that are delivered by hands-on professionals. Courses can be tailored to meet any specic requirements. In particular, anyone involved with construction work, and who wishes to further their understanding of the roles and responsibilities dened in the CDM Regulations, would benet in sharing our knowledge through the training platform. That would include those who wish to revisit their initial training and understanding of the regulations after the recent changes in 2007. We also provide specialist focus sessions for clients and designers with countless practical examples, drawing on expert witness skills and signicant intervention with the Health and Safety Executive experience of enforcement policy. Our courses are delivered by industry professionals. You choose the date, the venue, the content and even the training consultant. Typical numbers for our courses are between 2 - 15 delegates, but we have fullled obligations for the training of large multi-national organisations.
Compliance Reviews
Aedas Building Consultancy are skilled in corporate compliance reviews for large and small organisations across many industrial sectors.
Our reviews are based upon the safety management lifecycle in that it appraises the strengths and weaknesses of a companys attitude to the management of safety across its business. Gaps are identied and an action plan is formulated with priority time scales for completion. We can undertake services to successfully deliver the action plan or fully support the implementation by the organisation. Aedas additionally supports the corporate compliance review by offering strategic risk management services. Our services advise and support clients to manage the risks identied by the corporate audit or review. Our aim is to generate a positive safety culture within the organisation, and therefore downward trends in accident management.
