Why attend this course?

Are you balancing conflicting construction costs, time and safety outcomes, and want to meet all your legal obligations?

Are your contracts and construction practices protecting you or exposing you to unnecessary legal risk?

Unclear who holds responsibility for safety on your project – you, your designer, or your contractor?

If you frequently face such challenges, learning to address them in one go might just be the answer you’ve been looking for.

This 6-hour CPD UK-assessed and certificated virtual programme is designed to help utility and commercial-scale solar development, project, and construction professionals apply the EU Directive 92/57 EEC and Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 to boost effectiveness, efficiency, and safety across all asset lifecycle phases.

  • Understand the benefits of integrating CDM principles into project design from the outset, particularly within cross-border supply chains.
  • Clarify the roles and responsibilities of different parties involved and increase project governance and assurance.
  • Achieve both compliance and excellence to deliver projects on time and within budget.

The programme has been specifically designed for the solar/BESS sector, and it provides examples of supply chain arrangements practised across the industry.

Our approach

Traditional attitudes towards safety don’t apply at ARMSA. Our research shows that some of the most critical safety decisions are made at the front end of project development. This next-generation programme explains how these decisions impact your project timelines, budgets and occupational safety. The diagram below shows the proactive and reactive elements of management decision-making covered in the course.

Front-end decision-making components of the program include:

  • Organisational culture
  • Commercial/contract frameworks
  • Organisational precursors
  • Work planning decisions

Programme content

The insightful 6-hour programme consists of five powerful modules, delivered over two days.

In a virtual learning environment, examine industry case studies and the application of the UK and European construction safety requirements in each phase of the asset lifecycle.

There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discuss specific circumstances with your facilitator and peers.
