CDM and site safety, UK wide
Construction Health and Safety
Construction is one of the highest-risk industries there is and getting safety right keeps people alive and projects moving. AL23 Safety helps contractors, clients and site teams across the UK manage construction health and safety properly, from CDM duties through to the day-to-day documents your site needs to run safely and compliantly.
Why it matters in construction
The risks are real and so are the duties
Sites bring together working at height, heavy plant, hazardous materials and many trades at once, often on tight programmes. That combination is why construction accounts for a large share of workplace deaths and serious injuries every year.
Good health and safety protects your workforce, keeps you compliant and stops avoidable incidents from derailing your programme and your budget.
The main risks
Where the harm comes from
The hazards that cause the most serious harm in this sector and the ones we focus on first.
Falls from height
Still the single biggest cause of death in construction.
Moving plant and vehicles
Struck-by incidents involving excavators, dumpers and deliveries.
Structural and excavation collapse
During groundworks, demolition and temporary works.
Hazardous materials
Asbestos in older buildings, silica dust and chemicals.
Manual handling and HAVS
Lifting injuries and hand-arm vibration from tools.
The regulations that apply
Your legal framework, in plain terms
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 are the backbone of construction health and safety, setting duties for clients, designers and contractors across a project. Alongside them sit the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, PUWER 1998, LOLER 1998 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Key duties commonly engaged:
- CDM 2015
- HSWA 1974
- Work at Height 2005
- PUWER 1998
- LOLER 1998
- CAR 2012
