Introduction

• This inspection/audit has been undertaken by Cade Roofing And Building Services Ltd as part of the agreement with our Client. The purpose of the inspection/audit is to ensure the Principal / Main Contractors compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and any relevant subordinate legislation, including but not restricted to, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Working at Heights Regulations 2005.
  
  The report aims to identify areas where the Principal / Main Contractor needs to improve to meet the requirements of all relevant health and safety regulations and industry best practice procedures.
  
  The 'corrective actions' section details the remedial actions graded as priority 'High', 'Medium' and 'Low'.
  
  'High' rated actions should be completed as soon as is reasonably practicable, as these could potentially lead to serious injury and would likely lead to an enforcement officer issuing a 'Prohibition' or 'Improvement' notice against the site.
  
  'Medium' rated actions should be completed within a reasonable timeframe (normally before the next inspection/audit)
  
  'Low' rated actions are not compulsory but the contractor would benefit from addressing these points for continual improvement of health and safety standards.
