Our approach to health and safety is informed by relevant UK legislation and regulatory guidance, including:
Construction activities require careful planning and risk management. Before work begins, potential hazards may be assessed and appropriate control measures considered in order to support safe working practices.
Depending on the nature of the project, this may include:
Health and safety considerations remain an ongoing part of project management throughout the duration of the build.
Where projects fall within the scope of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, roles such as Principal Contractor and coordination with the Principal Designer may be carried out in accordance with the responsibilities defined within those regulations.
These regulations establish duties for clients, designers and contractors to ensure that construction work is properly planned and managed with regard to health and safety.
DKM Builders Oxford Ltd operates with a combination of in-house personnel and specialist subcontractors.
All individuals working on our projects are expected to carry out their work responsibly and with due regard to health and safety requirements. Where appropriate, subcontractors may be expected to demonstrate relevant experience, competence or qualifications related to the work being undertaken.
Maintaining safe and organised working environments remains an important aspect of our construction operations.
Health and safety practices continue to evolve as regulations and industry guidance develop. DKM Builders Oxford Ltd remains mindful of these developments and aims to conduct construction activities in a manner consistent with current safety standards and regulatory expectations.
Many projects take place within residential settings or occupied properties. As a result, construction activities are managed with consideration for both the site workforce and those living or working nearby.
This may include maintaining clear site access routes, organising work areas responsibly and taking reasonable steps to manage potential risks associated with construction activities.
