Construction Policies and Procedures
Written to CDM 2015 and HSE Standards
We write health and safety, site operations and HR documentation for construction companies, contractors and subcontractors across the UK.
Construction's Regulatory Context
Construction is one of the most heavily regulated sectors for health and safety. The Health and Safety Executive treats it as a priority enforcement area, and with good reason. The sector consistently accounts for a disproportionate share of workplace fatalities and serious injuries.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) impose specific documentation requirements on all dutyholders, including clients, principal designers, principal contractors and contractors. Beyond CDM, construction firms must comply with the full suite of health and safety legislation plus sector-specific regulations covering working at height, asbestos, confined spaces, manual handling and the control of hazardous substances.

Pre-Qualification and Tender Requirements
Construction contracts increasingly require documented health and safety policies as part of the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) process. CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditation all require evidence of documented policies and procedures.
We write documentation that satisfies these requirements and is structured to make your submissions straightforward. Our own accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline Gold, so we understand exactly what assessors are looking for.
For organisations with broader compliance requirements, we can also support with documentation beyond health and safety.
RAMS Writing
While this page covers policies and procedures, we also provide RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) writing support for construction projects. If you need project-specific RAMS alongside your company policies, we can include these in your quote.
For office-side IT and data security requirements, see our Cyber Essentials policies page.
