Assessing Project Needs

At Milan Groundworks and Civil Engineers, we understand that risk mitigation is a cornerstone of successful temporary works projects. Our approach is proactive and systematic, ensuring that potential risks are identified, assessed, and addressed from the outset of every project. This commitment to risk management not only safeguards the construction site but also adds significant value to our clients by minimising the potential for costly delays and ensuring the safety of all personnel involved.

Identifying and Assessing Risks

Our process begins with a comprehensive risk assessment, conducted by our experienced Temporary Works Coordinators (TWCs). We meticulously evaluate every aspect of the project, from environmental factors to the complexities of the construction tasks at hand. This thorough analysis allows us to anticipate challenges and plan accordingly.

Strategic Risk Management Planning

Once risks are identified, we develop a strategic risk management plan. This plan outlines the measures we will take to mitigate each identified risk, ensuring that our team is prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Our plans are not static; they are dynamic documents that evolve as the project progresses and as new risks are identified.

Ensuring Safety and Project Success

Safety is at the heart of our risk mitigation strategies. We implement a range of safety measures, including but not limited to, the use of safety nets, guardrails, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Our TWCs and Temporary Works Supervisors (TWSs) ensure that these measures are rigorously enforced on-site, maintaining a safe working environment at all times.

Proactive Approach to Risk Mitigation

Our proactive approach to risk mitigation involves regular on-site inspections and audits, ensuring that our risk management plans are effectively implemented and that any new risks are promptly addressed. We also conduct regular training sessions for our staff, keeping them informed of the latest safety protocols and risk management techniques.

Adding Value to Our Clients

By prioritising risk mitigation, we provide our clients with the assurance that their projects will be completed safely and efficiently. Our proactive measures help to avoid disruptions, ensuring that projects stay on schedule and within budget.

Temporary works standards have undergone significant evolution, reflecting the industry’s growth and the increasing complexity of construction projects. At Milan Groundworks and Civil Engineers, we’ve witnessed firsthand how these changes have influenced practices and driven innovation within the sector.

The Journey from Past to Present

In the early days, temporary works were guided by basic safety principles and rudimentary practices. However, following incidents and technological advancements, the need for comprehensive standards became evident. This led to the development of codes like BS 5975, which have been periodically revised to incorporate new insights and technologies.

Adapting to Industry Advancements

As the industry has advanced, so have the standards governing temporary works. These evolutions have introduced more stringent safety measures, detailed procedural guidelines, and a greater emphasis on risk assessment and management. Our platform has adapted by integrating these standards into our training programmes, operational procedures, and project management methodologies.

Staying Ahead of the Curve

To stay ahead of changes, we maintain active memberships with industry bodies and participate in forums where upcoming revisions are discussed. Our team regularly undergoes training to stay current with the latest standards, ensuring that our services not only comply with but also anticipate future industry requirements.

Examples of Our Adaptability

Our history is rich with examples of adapting to evolving standards. From the early adoption of the CDM regulations to our current compliance with BS 5975: 2019, we have consistently updated our practices. Notably, our swift response to the CDM 2015 update exemplifies our commitment to staying at the forefront of industry standards.

By embracing the evolution of temporary works standards, we ensure that our services reflect the highest level of industry expertise. This commitment to excellence and adaptability is what enables us to provide you with temporary works solutions that are safe, efficient, and at the cutting edge of construction practices.
