Lawray began providing CDM services in May 1997 and from 1st May 2015 Lawray CDM Consultants was established. Our reputation has been built on being proactive and helping our Clients and Principal Designers and their design and construction teams to comply with their statutory duties; striving to achieve best practice wherever possible. As the Client’s key advisor on health and safety management arrangements including design risk management, we see our Principal Designer role as an integral part of the design and construction team developing a professional and supportive liaison role with the team. A key element of our duty as Principal Designer is to have an in-depth understanding of the principles of prevention in the context of the elimination of hazards that cause risk from the design process. We will work closely with designers so that there is an understanding of these principles. The clear intention on our part is to assist Designers to design out hazards, or to minimise the effects of residual risks for construction, maintenance and cleaning workers, and the Client’s occupying workforce. A key activity for us is information management. To this end, we will implement a system that will effectively review, distribute and collate relevant health and safety information. This will ensure that the Pre-Construction Information, the Design H&S Issue Register and the Health and Safety File are providing the right information to the right people at the right times.
