Safety Smart Update: July 2019

8th July 2019 Posted in Blogs

A little over halfway through 2019 and business is good at Safety Smart. Here is a quick update on some of our current projects including news on new clients/appointments. 

We were delighted to be appointed by Blu Projects in early April to assist with CDM Principal Designer services for a multi-site fit out and refurbishment programme which is rolling out across pubs throughout London. 

Our working relationship with our valued client Dragonfly Contracts is going from strength to strength and the remit for the support we offer them widened. Dragonfly offer leading commercial design and fit out services and we support them in all aspects of Health & Safety including CDM Principal Contractor and Principal Designer. 

Another new client on board is Panacea Building Systems who manufacture metal structures and parts of structures. We have provided them with a full Health & safety review and update of policies and procedures as well as assisting with their Chas accreditation. We also provide retained Health & Safety support, including conducting regular Health & Safety audits across multiple sites.

Artificial or real? Modern artificial trees are usually fire retardant or resistant - but do look at the packaging to check. If you have an older artificial tree, it might be time to consider replacing it.
