At CAM Specialist Support, we understand the importance of careful planning and expert advice when designing and maintaining safe workspaces, particularly when work at height is involved. For architects, principal designers, and property managers involved in the early stages of development or renovation, consulting with a specialist at the pre-application stage is crucial. This early collaboration allows us to implement the safest and safest strategies for accessing high or difficult-to-reach areas, ensuring that work at height is conducted efficiently and safely.
With years of expertise in work-at-height consultancy, our team at CAM Specialist Support is dedicated to helping our clients navigate the hierarchy of measures—an approach that prioritises safe practices and minimises risks. By consulting with us from the start, you gain a trusted partner who can guide you through each stage, from surveying and planning to implementing and managing safe access systems. This proactive approach enables you to avoid costly retrofitting, mitigate safety risks, and comply with all applicable regulations.
Collaborating with CAM Specialist Support during the pre-application stage offers architects and principal designers an invaluable advantage. We provide insights and advice on choosing the safest, most reasonably practicable methods and equipment for working at height. The pre-application stage is a unique opportunity to plan worksite safety, ensuring that considerations like access, equipment, and structural integrity are factored into your project’s design from the outset.
Our consultancy is tailored to each project’s unique needs. By understanding your project’s requirements, we help integrate efficient access solutions that prioritise safety while supporting your overall design objectives. This includes anchor points, access systems, and equipment placement recommendations to ensure accessibility for maintenance and future inspections without compromising safety.
In our approach to work at Height Consultancy, CAM Specialist Support follows the hierarchy of measures, a structured methodology that promotes safe working practices by prioritising risk minimisation. This approach guides the selection of equipment and work methods based on a clear safety hierarchy, starting with methods that eliminate the need for working at height wherever possible.
Whenever possible, we explore design solutions that eliminate the requirement for personnel to work at height.
If existing access solutions are not feasible, we recommend collective protection options like guardrails and edge protection that reduce worker risk.
If other options are not suitable, we advise on appropriate PPE and necessary training to ensure safe work practices as a final measure.
By adhering to this hierarchy, we help clients implement the safest possible work methods, ensuring that safety is incorporated into every aspect of their work-at-height strategy.
Safe access planning is essential for any project involving work at height. At CAM Specialist Support, we collaborate closely with you to develop a customised, cost-effective, safe access strategy tailored to your site’s unique challenges. Whether it’s an internal atrium, external façade, or enclosed space like ducts or tanks, our consultants conduct thorough surveys and risk assessments to determine the safest and most efficient methods for accessing these areas.
Our safe access strategy covers all elements of access management, from anchor point placements to route planning, ensuring that your team can access high or challenging spaces safely. By identifying potential hazards and establishing safe routes early in the planning process, we prevent issues that may arise during construction or routine maintenance.
A significant part of our consultancy involves conducting detailed site surveys. Our team performs on-site evaluations to fully understand your project’s access needs and specific challenges. During this process, we identify potential risks, assess structural elements, and analyse existing access systems (if any).
Following the survey, we prepare comprehensive reports that include:
These reports provide clear, actionable recommendations supporting safe work practices while aligning with your project’s design objectives.
