We Specialise as CDM Coordinators and Principle Contactors within the construction industry.

A&C Associates are a team of construction health and safety professionals who specialise in minimising risk for the Client.

Prior to building, altering, extending or demolishing a structure, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 place a number of specific duties on you, the Client.

The aim of CDM Regulations is to make Health & Safety an essential and integral part of the planning and management of projects and will ensure that everyone works together to reduce the risk to the Health & Safety of those who work on the structure, who may be affected by these works, or who will use it as a place of work once it`s completed.

The CDM regulations separates construction projects into two types - dependent on how long they take to build and how many people are involved Before significant detailed design work commences on projects which are notifiable to the HSE i.e. those taking over 30 days or involving 500 man hours of construction work, the Client is required to appoint an adviser called a "CDM Co-ordinator"

If you appoint A&C Associates to fulfil this role for you, we will become an integral part of the design team. Risks affected by design will be identified, assessed and, where practicable, controlled. In addition to this we will advise and assist you, the Client, to comply with your duties under the regulations to ensure the Health and Safety of the project is appropriately managed and that competent Designers and Contractors are appointed.

A&C Associates can also assist the Client, if required, by undertaking the Health and Safety duties of the Principal Contractor, thereby freeing up the project management team to concentrate on the construction programme.

Depending upon your requirements, A&C Associates will ensure that all aspects of the planning, management and co-ordination of Health and Safety during the construction phase are fully implemented, that hazards are identified and all risks properly controlled for either the whole life of the project, or during individual phases alone.
