Compliance with Health & Safety Standards in London
Home » Refurbishment »
At Bigness Group, safety is not a box-ticking exercise — it’s the foundation of everything we build.
We understand that every refurbishment or construction project carries potential risks, which is why our team works under rigorous Health & Safety Management Systems designed to protect our workforce, our clients, and the public.
From planning and design through to project completion, we operate in full compliance with UK Health & Safety legislation, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM), and HSE best practice.
Our Commitment to Safety
Every site under Bigness management follows strict protocols to ensure safe working conditions and zero-incident delivery.
We integrate safety planning into every stage of a project — from risk assessment and method statements (RAMS) to daily toolbox talks and continuous monitoring.
Our Health & Safety Policy covers:
- Safe systems of work and site supervision
- Risk and COSHH assessments for all materials and activities
- Emergency response and fire-safety planning
- PPE compliance and training verification
- Accident and incident reporting with corrective actions
All our operatives are fully trained and certified, holding CSCS, SSSTS, PASMA, IPAF, or equivalent qualifications.
Health & Safety in Refurbishment Projects
Refurbishment projects often combine multiple trades in confined or occupied spaces — which increases the need for careful coordination.
Our project managers conduct pre-construction health and safety plans, coordinate with principal designers and contractors, and ensure every phase is risk-controlled.
Key measures include:
- Isolating live electrical systems before works begin
- Dust, noise, and vibration control for occupied properties
- Safe waste removal and site cleanliness
- Secure access routes for staff and residents
- Continuous air-quality monitoring where applicable
We maintain full records of site inspections, inductions, and audits to demonstrate compliance with HSE Construction Phase Plans and local authority requirements.
Training & Competence
Safety performance depends on people.
That’s why every member of the Bigness team — from site operatives to senior managers — receives ongoing Health & Safety training tailored to their role.
Our induction programme covers:
- Bigness Code of Conduct and zero-tolerance safety culture
- Manual handling, working at height, and confined space awareness
- Fire prevention and first aid
- Equality, diversity, and harassment prevention
- Environmental management and waste reduction
Refresher sessions and site-specific briefings ensure everyone stays alert, informed, and accountable.
Governance, Audits & Accreditation
Health & Safety compliance is embedded into our corporate governance framework.
We maintain alignment with our Bigness Group Governance Framework, Code of Conduct for Business Partners, and Bias & Harassment Policy to guarantee ethical and responsible operations.
Our governance structure includes:
- Compliance Officer overseeing all audits and certifications
- Monthly safety reviews and KPI reporting
- Independent inspections by accredited safety consultants
- Full insurance coverage, including Public Liability, Employer’s Liability, and Professional Indemnity
We continually monitor performance to exceed minimum standards and deliver projects that are not only compliant — but exemplary.
Sustainability & Safety: Working Hand in Hand
Health & Safety and environmental performance go together.
Through careful planning and sustainable practices, we minimise waste, reduce emissions, and protect local communities.
All refurbishment works are carried out with attention to energy efficiency, low-carbon materials, and noise control to create safer, cleaner sites across London.
