CDM Consultants

The Construction (Design and Management) or CDM Regulations play a key role in shaping the landscape of the UK construction industry. These regulations are designed to improve overall project safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. However, navigating these regulations can be challenging. This is where our expert CDM consultants come in. 

At Risk Fluent, our goal is to ensure that your construction project adheres to all UK safety and legal requirements, safeguarding all parties involved and enhancing project outcomes. As a trusted CDM services provider in the UK, we bring expertise, precision, and an unwavering commitment to health and safety, ensuring your project is not only successful but also compliant with stringent regulations.

Our CDM Consultancy Services

Risk Fluent offers a comprehensive range of CDM consultancy services tailored to meet our clients’ specific needs.

CDM Principal Designer Services

Our CDM Principal Designer solutions are integral to the health and safety of your construction project during the design phase. As part of our CDM advisor services, we will take on the crucial role of planning, monitoring, managing, and coordinating health and safety during the pre-construction phase. Our team will collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to identify potential hazards early on and devise effective mitigation strategies.

By working with our CDM consultant and integrating safety considerations into the design process, you can prevent accidents and ensure a smoother, safer construction phase.

CDM Principal Contractor Services

Overseeing health and safety during the construction stage is equally critical. Our CDM Principal Contractor services involve overseeing the implementation of health and safety measures on-site. As your chosen CDM consultancy services provider, we will coordinate with all contractors, ensure compliance with safety standards, and manage communication between all parties involved. This includes regular site inspections, safety briefings, and proactive risk management to address any issues promptly and efficiently

Health and Safety Audits

Regular health and safety audits are vital to maintaining ongoing compliance with CDM regulations. As part of our CDM advisor services, we will conduct comprehensive audits to evaluate every aspect of your project’s health and safety practices and ensure they meet legal requirements and follow industry best practices. Furthermore, we will identify potential non-compliance areas, provide actionable recommendations, and help implement corrective measures designed to protect your workforce and business.

Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS)

Effective risk management is crucial to a successful construction project. Our CDM consultants will prepare detailed Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) tailored to your specific project needs. These documents outline potential risks, evaluate their impact, and describe the procedures to mitigate them. By thoroughly planning and documenting these aspects, enlisting our CDM services allows you to anticipate challenges and ensure that all team members are aware of the necessary safety measures.

Training and Workshops

As an experienced CDM advisor services provider, we at Risk Fluent believe education is highly effective at promoting health and safety in the construction industry. This is why, besides providing CDM consultancy solutions, we also offer tailored training sessions and workshops to equip your team with the requisite CDM knowledge and skills. Our training covers a wide range of topics, from general CDM awareness to specific health and safety practices pertinent to your project.

Compliance Documentation

Preparing and maintaining necessary CDM documentation can be a complex and time-consuming task. As CDM consultants, we are experts in compiling all required documentation, ensuring that your project is fully compliant with CDM regulations. This includes preparing the Health and Safety File, Construction Phase Plan, and other critical documents. By allowing our expert CDM consultancy team to handle these administrative tasks, you will be able to focus on your core project activities, confident that all legal requirements are being met.
