CONSTRUCTION HEALTH AND SAFETY IN SUSSEX, SURREY, LONDON & ALL SOUTH EAST LOCATIONS | YOUR TRUSTED HEALTH AND SAFETY, CDM2015 ADVISOR & TRAINING PROVIDER.
Every industry faces at least some level of risk; however, some sectors are more prone to health and safety failings than others. The construction industry is almost certainly one of these, but with the right planning, managing and competent support, construction site risks can be eliminated or controlled to a tolerable level.
By their very nature, lifting heavy materials or moving plant, working at height, increased risk of fire, constructing tall structures and encountering live services can all mean that even minor oversights or system errors can lead to serious incidents.
At M.L.A., our team of experienced consultants advise and support clients from across the construction spectrum, from Principal Contractors to Contractors and Commercial Clients to Designers. Our approach is to take time to get to know our clients, their project-specific requirements and objectives, and to build relationships and trust so that when our advice is really needed, it is taken-on board and projects are delivered in a safe but efficient manner.

Construction Phase Plans
As principal designers, we develop Construction Phase Plans which outline how health and safety risks will be managed during the construction phase of a project. These plans detail specific hazards, control measures and responsibilities to ensure the safety of workers and others affected by construction activities.
Site Safety Management Systems
We design and implement Site Safety Management Systems to ensure that health and safety standards are upheld throughout the duration of a project. This includes establishing protocols for hazard identification, risk assessment, construction health and safety training, emergency response and ongoing monitoring to maintain a safe working environment.
Site Inspections
Our team conducts regular site inspections to assess compliance with health and safety regulations, identify potential hazards, and ensure that safety protocols are being followed. These inspections involve thorough examinations of the site, equipment and working practices to mitigate risks and prevent accidents.
Accident & Incident Investigation
In the event of an accident/incident, we can conduct investigations to determine the causes and contributing factors. This includes gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and analysing data to identify failures in safety procedures or systems. This is employed to plot corrective action and prevent similar incidents in the future while improving overall safety performance.
Risk Assessments
Helping employers to identify potential hazards in their workplaces by evaluating risk, we perform on a consultancy basis to mitigate instances of injury and illness. Risk assessments help in establishing whether current methods of control remain effective, and they help us to work together to see if further control measures might be needed.
Fire Risk Assessments (Construction)
In accordance with the health and safety executives’ publication HSG168 – Fire Safety in Construction, the “Responsible Person” (i.e. Principal Contractor) must complete a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment of their site. Let our trained, experienced and accredited (IFSM) consultants complete it on your behalf. M.L.A. will ensure that your construction project has an effective and compliant fire strategy.
