What every job carries, whatever its size

CDM applies to every job: and the proof lands on the contractor

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 apply to every construction project, from a full site to a single-day install. As a contractor you have to plan, manage and monitor the work under your control so it's done without risk, coordinate with the other duty-holders, and, where you're the only contractor on the job, prepare the construction phase plan. In practice that means keeping a current RAMS for each job, the crew briefed and signed on, plant in test, operatives competent, and a record that holds up afterwards.

Sitting over that is the HSE: site safety is enforced, and under RIDDOR reportable injuries and dangerous occurrences have to be recorded and notified, with records kept and readily accessible for at least three years. When a client or principal contractor audits you, or something goes wrong, the question is the same, can you show it?

The work is familiar. The friction is producing a fresh RAMS for every job, keeping tickets and plant certificates in date across crews that move daily, and pulling the evidence together when someone asks. Where you maintain building services on completed work or during fit-out, SFG20 gives you the structured PPM schedules clients expect. Health and safety software keeps each job's current, acknowledged record built as the work happens.

What you need to be able to show, per job:

  • A current RAMS, acknowledged by the crew before work starts
  • Plant and access equipment in test, with inspection and calibration certificates
  • Hand-arm vibration (HAVS) exposure kept below the daily action and limit values
  • Operative competence: tickets, insurance and induction, all in date
  • Site checks completed, and a record of who was on site and when
  • Near-misses and incidents recorded and tracked, ready for RIDDOR
  • One picture across every job and site, ready for a client or principal-contractor audit

THE PRESSURES

What matters most in your world.

01

A new job means new paperwork

The challenge

Every site needs its own method statement and risk assessment, often rewritten from scratch the night before, with no record of which version actually went out.

How we help

Build RAMS and site risk assessments from reusable templates, score the risks, and send them to the crew for sign-off before work starts. Each job carries its own current, acknowledged version on the record.

02

Plant, kit and certificates

The challenge

Tools, plant and access equipment need inspections and calibration; operatives need tickets and insurance. Vibrating tools like breakers and grinders carry hand-arm vibration limits that are easy to blow past on a long shift. When something's out of test, you find out at the gate.

How we help

Track equipment with inspection schedules and certificates on the asset record, and hold operative tickets and insurance with expiry dates. The equipment register holds hand-arm vibration (HAVS) and noise figures per tool, and a calculator shows how long it can run before the exposure action or limit value. What's out of test or about to lapse surfaces before the job, not on site.

03

Work spread across many sites

The challenge

Crews move between jobs and locations daily. Who was on which site, what was checked, and whether the work was signed off is scattered across phones and paper.

How we help

Each job and site keeps its own record. Crews complete checks and sign in on mobile, so who did what, where and when is captured as the work happens, ready for the client or the file.

WHERE THE PROOF LIVES

Every CDM and HSE expectation maps to something you already do

Capture the work once, against the job and the site, with dates and sign-offs attached, so the evidence is assembled, not gathered the night before an audit.

Free readiness check

Could you prove it tomorrow?

Most teams only find the gaps when someone asks. This finds them first: a readiness score, your biggest gaps, and a plan for each, in about three minutes.

YOUR STACK

Works beside the tools you already use.

CalmCompliance adds compliance and job workflows on top of the Microsoft, Google, and training tools your team already runs.
