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.

FAQs
Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. Contact us if you have a specific question that you would like us to answer.
What is design stage health and safety management?
Structural and electrical input at the design phase that identifies and reduces risk before construction starts, meeting CDM regulation duties.
What does the service cover?
Design stage risk identification, Design Risk Assessments and method statements, and input into project RAMS from an electrical and PV specific perspective.
Who is this service for?
Principal contractors and installers who need pre-construction documentation and design stage support.
Why deal with risk at design stage rather than on site?
Risk identified at design stage is far cheaper and easier to mitigate than risk found during installation, or worse, during operation.
