New Projects Update

Recent New Projects 

Once again it’s been extremely busy at Keenan CDM recently and so posting on new projects has again been missed for a while, so here’s a roundup of some recent commissions:

  • 122 New Flats in West Craigs in Edinburgh for Cruden Homes (as Principal  Designer)
  • Refurbishment of Outpatient Dept at NHS Hospice in Airdrie (as CDM Consultant)
  • 49 Affordable Flats in Livingston for Cruden Homes (as Principal Designer)

Further details on some of these will be posted shortly.

Acclaim (SSIP) Health & Safety Accreditation Renewal

I’m pleased to confirm that the independent Acclaim (SSIP) Health & Safety Accreditation annual renewal certificate for the Keenan CDM Principal Designer service has been received for the 5th year now (Reg 00388256).

This is achieved via independent assessment annually and enables Keenan CDM to demonstrate compliance with health and safety legislation – in this instance, compliance with the CDM Regulations for the provision of Principal Designer services.

Once again this demonstrates the Keenan CDM commitment to providing a comprehensive service via documented processes in line with the CDM Regulations requirements, in addition to the extensive CPD training undertaken annually.

HSE no longer requires every business to consider COVID-19 in their risk assessment or to have specific measures in place.

There is a requirement to protect those who come into contact with the virus due to their work activity.

HSE web page for workplaces on COVID-19 provides more information and links to public health and other government body advice.

You can find guidance on the circumstances when you should make a report under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).

HSE will continue to expect employers to comply with the requirements for cleaning and ventilation in the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

Construction sites must provide adequate facilities in line with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
