Health & safety management (design stage)

Design-stage CDM support, risk assessments, and method statements for solar PV and battery storage installations.

What is design-stage health and safety management?

Health and safety on a solar project starts in the design phase, with the decisions that determine how safely the system can be installed, operated and maintained across its life. The Construction (design and management) regulations make this explicit: designers have a legal duty to identify and reduce risk through the design itself.

We provide design-stage health and safety input that meets that duty, and gives principal contractors and installers the documentation they need to work safely from the moment the project goes live.

What our service covers

Every BMG design-stage H&S service includes:

Design-stage risk identification and mitigation (CDM support)
Preparation of Design Risk Assessments and method statements relevant to the design scope
Input into project RAMS from an electrical and PV-specific perspective
Consideration of safe access and maintenance, isolation and emergency shutdown, and fire and electrical safety interfaces

Support to Principal Contractors and installers during pre-construction

Risk reduced at the point it’s cheapest to fix

A risk identified at the design stage costs almost nothing to mitigate, but the same risk identified during installation can cost thousands. The same risk identified during operation can cost considerably more.

We treat design-stage health and safety as one of the most commercially valuable parts of the engineering package.
