The HSE knows about the financial and time pressures involved in construction or refurbishment projects so it is important that the health & safety co-ordinator or planning supervisor is seen as objective.
Ideally, the role is contracted directly to the developer and is not bundled with design & build, design, project management or main contractor roles. This is so it can be demonstrated that 'adequate resources' have been made available for the construction phase health & safety.
Using a specialist Planning Supervisor can lead to impartial and objective feedback to you about your project by using an extra pair of experienced eyes. We work with major developers such as Persimmon Homes and Countryside Properties and Housing Associations such as London & Quadrant.
