POOLE, U.K. - May 7, 2015 - PRLog -- TWO local firms have collaborated to better understand the new CDM 2015 Health and Safety Regulations which came into force earlier this month.

MSP Business Services have been advising Richmond Home Improvement Co on their obligations regarding this new legislation.

Malcolm Pitcher of MSP Business Services said: “We have been working with Richmond over the past few years with regard to their health and safety requirements and last year led them through their Constructionline, SafeContractor and CHAS - three nationally recognised accreditations.

“These new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 affect all building projects, whether they are small domestic extensions or massive commercial building sites and the onus has now changed.  All domestic building projects are now included under this Regulation” he said.

Malcolm said: “All projects must now have a written Construction Phase Plan; there is a duty to make sure all persons carrying out the work have the correct skills, knowledge, training and experience.  When I mentioned this plan to Allan Tofield at Richmond - and giving him some guidance - he came back smiling and telling me that despite the extra administration required, it only took him 20 minutes to put the plan together.

“There are a lot of businesses out there who are still unaware of the changes.”

He added, “One of the easiest ways to understand it is to make it visual and we have produced a flowchart to illustrate the main points.”

Allan said “It’s a minefield of new regulations and we are very grateful to Malcolm at MSP for his help in understanding how they will affect us.  At Richmond we have always been keen to ensure all our operatives are fully apprised of health and safety issues so we are fully compliant.  We train them to understand the problems that may occur when working on site – whether at a private house, or on a commercial building site.

He added, “We are regulated with recognised national bodies, such as Certass, giving our clients peace of mind when engaging Richmond to work on their property.  All our staff are fully employed, trained and competent, meeting the CDM 2015 requirements.

We are pro-active with our site monitoring and MSP carry out two audits and reviews of our Health & Safety Policy per year.

“So, with Malcolm’s help, all has become clear and we now fully understand our obligations.”

Naturally, due to their diligence Richmond Home Improvement Co is a well-established and respected company, taking the safety of not just staff, but also their clients very seriously and ensuring a comprehensive Health & Safety policy is in place.  They are also licensed by the Environment Agency and all waste is disposed of responsibly.
