Construction Health & Safety SupportHelping you build a safer workplace
Need help cementing your approach to Health & Safety?
Managing construction Health & Safety can feel like you're walking on uneven terrain. Compared to other industries, construction has the highest number of recorded fatal injuries onsite each year.

Peninsula works with you to ensure your legal requirements are met. We can help with:
Workplace risk assessments.
Health & Safety processes and documentation.
Urgent advice and queries.
Site set-up and layout.
Our packages take the Health & Safety hassle off your shoulders, so you can focus on what you do best - building your business.

Hammer out the key elements of your legal paperwork with Peninsula's team of experts
As an employer - and a construction business owner, there are several pieces of legislation, you, your employees and your site must comply with at all times. These include:
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
Construction (Design & Management) Safety Regulations 2015.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998.
The Work at Height Regulations 2006.
The majority of the above outline how you must keep your construction workers safe - including creating and implementing key policies to protect them. For example, you are legally required to draft a:
Construction phase plan.
A Health & Safety policy that outlines your Health & Safety procedures.
But, when it comes to your legal documentation - it's hard to know where to begin. That's why so many construction companies choose to work with Peninsula.
When you outsource your Health & Safety to Peninsula, our team of expert consultants will craft all the policies you need. We'll help your workplace maintain robust safety procedures that protect everyone from harm, as well as ensuring your legal compliance.
It's just one of the many ways we help construction companies.
Nail your risk assessment with help from Peninsula's safety professionals
Whilst it should be the foundation of your business, Health & Safety management can be difficult to prioritise when operating construction sites. But with so many risks and the threat of serious injury, you must ensure you comply with the relevant Health & Safety law.
One of these obligations is workplace risk assessments. This is a legal requirement for all employers, as risk analysis helps to identify potential hazards on site. For example, safety hazards on a building site may include:
Hazardous materials.
Falling objects and moving objects.
Heavy loads.
Ground working equipment.
From the results of your construction risk assessment, you'll be able to establish what control measures you need to protect your staff from harm - such as the use of safety signs. But, if you've never performed a risk assessment before, you might not know where to start.
That's why when you work with Peninsula, we help you do your workplace risk assessment in person, on site, at a time that suits you. After your visit, you’ll receive a personalised action plan - which advises what control procedures you need to protect people from any Health & Safety risks present.
We'll even help with your fire risk assessment, too.
