Martin Arnold is committed to delivering comprehensive Health & Safety and CDM services to ensure compliance with The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Regulation 4 of The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM).

Our services help clients fulfil their regulatory duties through detailed processes and documentation, ensuring effective cooperation and coordination among all project team members for safe project delivery.

Our team members are affiliated with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and the Association of Project Safety. As a multidisciplinary business, our Surveyors are also RICS members, bringing extensive experience to advising clients, designers, and principal contractors throughout a project’s lifecycle.
