HEALTH & SAFETY

Under Health + Safety legislation there is a duty on clients and designers to ensure that buildings are constructed, used and maintained in compliance with safety standards. The Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act (2005) and Construction Regulations (2006) require designer competence and the undertaking of safety appraisals throughout the design and construction process. Clients appoint a Project Supervisor for the Design Process (PSDP), to oversee and coordinate the designers' safety appraisals. cob+p has accredited RIAI qualifications to carry out the role of Project Supervisor for the Design Process (PSDP) and a thorough knowledge of Building Regulations, and other relevant Safety Standards.

cob+p, Health + Safety Consultants, under the direction of cob+p, offers competent and thorough advice to clients, design teams and building owners by the provision of:

- Project Supervision of the Design Process (PSDP)

- Design Safety Appraisals

- Premises Safety Appraisals.

This input and approach ensures compliance and best practice, from design to construction and occupation.
