Our Guide to Health and Safety On Site👷 As a building control inspector, it’s our job to ensure work is taking place in adherence to the building regulations, but we still like to see health and safety best practice taking place on site. From huge commercial developments to small domestic extension projects, health and safety guidelines should always be observed by everyone who visits the site. Some of the highest areas of risk on site include: ◾Machinery/Plant ◾Trenches/Holes ◾Scaffolding ◾Lifting/Overheard Working ◾Other Site Operatives ◾Traffic Thankfully, there are now a variety of solutions to potential problems on construction sites. These include: ◾Training Appropriate training can increase awareness of potential risks and inform everyone on how to take steps to minimise them. ◾PPE Wearing safety equipment such as hard hats and safety goggles in environments that require it can significantly reduce the risk of injury. ◾Awareness/Observation Keeping health and safety at the forefront of your mind whilst working on site means any potential incidents can be often be prevented before they occur and makes it more likely rules and guidelines will be followed. ◾Signage Signage across site in areas where potential risks may occur and reminding workers to wear appropriate PPE is another way health and safety risks can be significantly reduced. ◾Reporting Systems & Accident Books Unfortunately even with great preparation accidents and incidents do sometimes occur. When they do, proper reporting and recording of what is happened is essential. For official guidance on and health and safety on construction sites, we recommend contacting the Health and Safety Executive. If it’s building control advice you’re after, we’re ready and happy to help! #construction #healthandsafety #guidance #buildingcontrol #approvedinspector

We’re excited to announce that we are now a Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA), which enables us to maintain our current projects while taking on new commissions across all sectors. To accommodate this growth, we’re actively expanding our team by welcoming new surveyors, with plans to significantly increase our size over the next three months. Our Registered Building Inspectors, certified from Class 2 to Class 4 Technical Managers, are ready to support new instructions across all sectors. As some Building Control Bodies may be scaling back their services, we are moving in the opposite direction - doubling our team size in the next 3 months and welcoming new clients, all while continuing to support our valued existing customer base. #buildingcontrol #registeredbuildingcontrolapprover #rbca #technicalmanagers #buildingsafetyact #buildingregulations #constructionindustry #growth

Leeds CPD Event Recap: Highlights and Key Insights Joe delivered an engaging session on Psi Values and the Future Homes Standard. If you missed Joe's session or need a refresher, drop us a message to re-listen to this section! Key Points from Joe's Psi Values Discussion: ➡️Proving Compliance with Psi Values: Joe explained the critical role of accurately calculated Psi Values in proving compliance with building standards. ➡️New Building Regulations: With the new building regulations, it is now unlikely to pass using default values anymore. Joe emphasised the importance and effectiveness of having Psi Values calculated, specifically for your build. ➡️Benefits of Calculating Psi Values: As Joe said, "If you come to us and we can get those calculated, you are going to be saving yourself essentially time and money by not having to over insulate a wall or insulate a roof just because of how much better the Psi Value could be." ➡️Calculation Process: To calculate the Psi Value, we create a 2D/3D model of the junction and then insert the thermal conductivity each of the fabric conductivities. The software then calculates the Psi and fRsi Value, a process similar to calculating a U-value, which more people are familiar with. Thank you again to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success! Keep an eye out for more key highlights from our event, which are crucial following the new building regulation changes across the construction industry. #psivalues #constructionindustry #cpdevent #developers #architects #futurehomesstandard #uvalues #compliance
