The Home Renovation Incentive Scheme linked to Health and Safety?

Arrgh...its the budget. Most readers may not expect us here at safety-statements.ie to be commenting on budget measures however the Home Renovation Incentive quickly caught our eye. Many people may not be aware that in August the Minister signed the new 2013 Construction Regulations into law. These regulations largely apply to works carried out on Domestic Dwellings. In many cases it will be necessary for Tradesmen to ensure they have correct Safety Documentation and may even require the appointment of a Project Supervisor for the works. 

With regard to the Home Renovation Incentive it is quite likely that Trades working on the renovation will be required to produce Safety Statements, Method Statements, etc. in order for the works to qualify. Well we've just started updating all of our Trades based Safety Statement Templates to reflect this. Watch this Blog as we'll update it every time we release the revised Safety Statement Templates.
