Construction is one of the most hazardous industries in the UK, requiring strict compliance with health and safety regulations to protect workers, contractors, and the public. At Square Safety Solutions, we specialise in providing expert health and safety consultancy for construction firms across Greater Manchester and Cheshire. From small building projects to large-scale developments, we help ensure compliance, reduce risks, and create safer working environments.

Why Health & Safety is Critical in Construction

The construction industry accounts for a significant number of workplace injuries and fatalities each year. Compliance with health and safety laws is not just a legal obligation—it’s essential for protecting workers and avoiding costly delays, fines, and enforcement actions.

We help construction companies comply with key legislation, including:

  • CDM Regulations 2015 – Ensuring duty holders meet their responsibilities from planning to completion.
  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – Helping businesses implement robust safety management systems.
  • RIDDOR Reporting – Ensuring correct procedures for reporting accidents and near misses.
  • COSHH Compliance – Managing hazardous substances, including asbestos and silica dust.
  • Working at Height & Manual Handling – Reducing risks related to scaffolding, ladders, and lifting operations.
