Planning & Compliance

Pre-construction height safety surveys and regulatory compliance audits — a clear, documented framework before any work at height begins.

Get the Framework Right Before Anyone Goes to Height.

The majority of working at height incidents are preventable — and most are rooted in inadequate planning. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place explicit duties on clients, designers and contractors to plan, manage and monitor work at height. Our planning and compliance service gives you the documented framework to meet those duties and demonstrate compliance to the HSE, your insurer and your clients.

Pre Construction & Project Surveys

Before any work at height is planned or specified, it is critical to understand the existing framework that the system will be required to operate within — what access exists, what hazards are present, what systems are already installed and what their condition is. Our pre-construction surveys provide a detailed, photographic record of existing conditions, identify deficiencies and provide a clear basis for design and specification decisions.

  • Photographic condition survey of all roof areas
  • Identification of all systems within the proposed safe system of work
  • Assessment of existing system condition and compliance
  • Identification of access routes and hazard zones
  • Gap analysis against current regulatory requirements
  • Proposals developed using best fit UK available compliant products

Regulatory Compliance Audits

If you are responsible for a building or estate, you need to know whether your current safe systems of work meet the regulatory standard. Our compliance audits review your existing systems, documentation, training records and management arrangements against the current regulations — and provide a clear, prioritised action plan to close any gaps.

  • Review of existing systems against manufacturer requirements
  • Assessment of current training and competence records
  • Review of inspection and examination records
  • Assessment of management arrangements and procedures
  • Gap analysis against WAHR 2005, LOLER and PUWER
  • Prioritised action plan with recommended timescales
