At OCF Project & Commercial Management, we specialise in providing expert Project Supervisor Design p=Process (PSDP) services to ensure safety is thoroughly integrated into every stage of your construction project. As PSDPs, we take on a critical role in overseeing safety during the design phase, working closely with project teams to identify and manage risks from the outset. By embedding safety principles early in the design, we proactively prevent potential hazards, streamline compliance with the Safety Health & Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013, and prioritise practical solutions that align with project needs.
In this role, we assess all design aspects that could impact health and safety, coordinating with architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure that every decision considers both immediate and long-term safety outcomes. The PSDP is essential in managing risk assessments, liaising with all stakeholders to communicate and address safety considerations, and providing guidance to ensure that safety protocols are both practical and fully compliant.
Key Safety Measures for Working at Height:
Safe Platforms and Walkways: We design elevated platforms with guardrails, anti-slip surfaces, and fall protection systems to ensure safe access during construction and maintenance.
Secure Ladders and Access Points: OCFPM ensures that ladders and access points are securely anchored and properly spaced to reduce risks at different work levels.
Compliant Scaffolding: We ensure scaffolding and temporary structures meet all safety standards, providing stability and safe working conditions.
Roof Access and Maintenance Safety: Safe access points and fall protection systems are integrated into roof designs to facilitate safe inspections and maintenance.
Façade and Window Access: For high-rise projects, we incorporate systems like powered platforms or harnesses to ensure safe access for façade maintenance and window cleaning.
Fall Protection: We identify potential fall hazards and implement safety measures such as edge protection, safety nets, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Material Handling and Emergency Evacuation: We design safe systems for handling materials at height and ensure emergency evacuation plans, like fire escapes and descent devices, are in place
