Health & Safety Consultancy

Construction Health & Safety Consultant

Construction projects involve complex risks, strict regulations, and multiple duty holders working together on site. Ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation is essential not only to protect workers but also to keep projects running smoothly and avoid costly enforcement action.

At MAST Safety, our experienced construction health and safety consultants provide practical, site-focused support to contractors, developers, and project teams. We work alongside your team to ensure your projects remain compliant, safe, and efficiently managed from planning through to completion.

How a Construction Health & Safety Consultant Supports Your Project

With extensive experience across construction environments, our consultants deliver clear advice, realistic solutions, and hands-on guidance that works in real-world site conditions.

Managing health and safety on construction sites requires careful planning, ongoing monitoring, and strong leadership. Our consultants support your project by helping you meet your legal duties while maintaining high safety standards across your workforce.

We assist with:

  • Health & Safety site inspections and audits
  • Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
  • Construction Phase Plans
  • Site safety documentation
  • Incident investigations and reporting
  • Subcontractor compliance checks
  • Toolbox talks and workforce engagement
  • Advice on compliance with HSE guidance and legislation

Our goal is to help you prevent incidents before they occur while maintaining a well-managed, compliant site environment.

Construction Health & Safety Compliance

Construction is one of the most highly regulated industries in the UK. Employers, contractors and duty holders must ensure their projects comply with a wide range of legislation, including:

  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
  • Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations
  • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM)
  • Work at Height Regulations
  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)

Our consultants help ensure these responsibilities are clearly understood and properly implemented throughout your project.

In plain terms

Effective planning, clear communication and competent supervision are essential to maintaining safe construction environments.

Practical On-Site Safety Support

Unlike purely administrative consultants, our team has extensive practical construction experience. We provide hands-on support through regular site visits and direct engagement with your management team and workforce.

During site visits we can:

  • Identify potential hazards and unsafe practices
  • Review site documentation and compliance procedures
  • Provide practical advice to site managers and supervisors
  • Monitor safety performance and workforce behaviour
  • Help resolve health and safety issues quickly

This proactive approach ensures problems are addressed early before they escalate into accidents or enforcement action.

Construction Site Safety Audits

Regular health and safety audits are essential to confirm that your safety procedures are working effectively in practice.

Our audits review:

  • Site documentation and records
  • Risk assessments and method statements
  • Site inductions and toolbox talks
  • Training records and competence levels
  • Workplace conditions and hazard controls
  • Compliance with current legislation and guidance

Following the audit, we provide a clear report outlining findings, priorities, and practical recommendations to improve site safety and compliance.

CDM Regulations Support

Many construction projects must comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM). These regulations place specific responsibilities on duty holders including clients, designers, principal designers and contractors.

MAST Safety can support your team with:

  • CDM compliance advice
  • Construction Phase Plan development
  • Risk management during the design stage
  • Coordination between duty holders
  • Ongoing monitoring of safety arrangements

Our consultants help ensure CDM responsibilities are properly implemented and documented throughout the lifecycle of your project.

Construction Health & Safety FAQs

Do I legally need to appoint a competent person?
Yes. Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires every employer to appoint one or more competent persons to assist with their health and safety duties. This applies regardless of the size of your business.
Can I appoint someone external as my competent person?
Yes. The Regulations allow you to appoint an external health and safety consultant to fulfil the role. For many small and medium-sized businesses this is a more practical and cost-effective solution than a permanent hire.
What qualifications should a competent person have?
There is no single prescribed qualification, but a competent person must have sufficient training, knowledge, experience and skills to identify risks and recommend appropriate controls. MAST Safety consultants hold recognised qualifications including NEBOSH and IOSH.
How much does the competent person service cost?
Costs depend on the size of your organisation, your industry and the level of support you need. We offer a range of retained consultancy packages to suit different needs and budgets, and every engagement begins with a free initial discussion.
What is the difference between a competent person and a health and safety manager?
A health and safety manager is usually a full-time employee responsible for day-to-day safety management. A competent person, appointed under Regulation 7, provides the expertise to assist with your duties - and can be fulfilled externally, which is often more practical and affordable for smaller businesses.
