- Work with clients, designers and contractors to ensure fit for purpose implementation of CDM 2015, and promote good communications between all parties
- Champion relevant good practices in conventional health and safety across all hazardous activities
- Ensure designs are reviewed to eliminate hazards and mitigate any residual design risk, reducing risks as low as is reasonably practicable
- Ensure the design is reviewed on a regular basis and agree a review schedule with the designers
- Undertake surveillance of design risk registers and associated documents to ensure hazards, risks and safe systems of work are adequately communicated
- Assess designer and contractor capability and on-going performance
- Ensure that health and safety is built in to the whole end to end process
- Ensure arrangements are in place to monitor and satisfactorily close out any design changes that impact the health and safety of the design that arise during the construction phase
- Travelling within the UK and Europe to contribute to design, layout and constructability reviews and provide training and assessment of performance
- Work to enhance safety culture in design and on site
- Manage production of Health and Safety Files
