Our approach to service delivery on projects, in effect makes calfordseaden health & safety a “one-stop” shop for construction health and safety services.

Site Waste Management PlansUnder the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008, any Client who intends to carry out a project on a construction site with an estimated cost greater than £300,000 (excluding VAT) must prepare a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) conforming to the regulations before construction work begins.

The SWMP needs to be written at the construction design stage, but it is a requirement of the SWMPRegulations to maintain it during the entire project.Therefore, the Client (or principal contractor) is alsoresponsible for updating the Plan with the site's day-to-day activity.

For projects with a construction cost greater than £300,000 or below £500,000, equals to or above£500,000, the regulations place specific requirements on the quality of information to be provided when updating the SWMP. calfordseaden health & safety is able to work closely with the Client, the project design team and the principal contractor to ensure a suitable SWMP is produced and maintained for the project duration. To facilitate this process allcommissions are run on a dedicated web-based portal.
