Working on a construction site is inherently risky, and the consequences of poor health and safety practices can be devastating, for individuals and for businesses.
To support FMB members and associates to manage their H&S needs and remain compliant, we’ve partnered with the Building Safety Group (BSG) to provide premium, construction-specific health and safety support services at minimum cost with a Safety Plus package.
Health and safety software tailored for construction
With support from BSG, keeping on top of your H&S documentation doesn’t need to be a hassle. FMB members and associates in Great Britain that register for the Safety Plus package can now access BSG’s professional, industry-recognised health and safety software package: BSG RAMS.
The software, which is specifically designed for use by construction companies, includes a suite of 115 templates for Risk Assessments, Method Statements and COSHH Assessments.
The key benefits of using BSG H&S templates include:
Demonstrates your professionalism and ensures legal compliance
- Demonstrates your company’s professionalism, competence, and commitment to health and safety.
- Templates are developed by highly qualified, chartered H&S practitioners.
- Ensures you maintain compliance with Health and Safety law on an ongoing basis.
- Helps to meet the requirements of some tenders and procurement processes.
- Keeps H&S documentation and records stored safely online.
Saves you time on admin
- Templates are pre-populated with recommended control measures for each hazard, which can be edited to be specific to each project or site.
- Templates can be duplicated, edited, and repurposed for new projects.
- Control measures are pre-configured, and the software can automatically calculate risk scores.
