L7 takes safety very seriously. As an organisation we want to avoid any incidents to our staff, colleagues, customers or the public, which could have been prevented if more thought had been given during the design process.

Each member of staff is encouraged to gain the relevant CSCS* card. (*Construction Skills Certification Skills).

We strive to execute our duties with all due diligence and maintain an accident-free record. We work with our colleagues, clients and consultants to eliminate foreseeable health and safety risks to anyone affected by the work and, in the very rare circumstances where that may not be possible, take steps to reduce or control those risks. 

Recently we have taken the step to train senior members of staff in understanding the role and main duties of a Principal Designer. We are now performing that role on several of our projects. We believe this approach offers further benefits to our business and to all those associated with our projects in that as an integrated business we are better positioned to identify, plan the work and manage the risks from start to finish. 

Having the right people and expertise embedded within our own organisation helps us to spot concerns earlier, be more reactive and responsive and makes it easier to communicate relevant information effectively to those who need to know. Time is saved, communication routes shortened, transparency heightened resulting in enhanced safety and smoother running projects.
