This approach was then adopted and implemented on all subsequent construction related projects for a variety of clients.
When the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations changed in 2007 and subsequently again in 2015, Nigel was responsible for interpretation and implementation within his then employers鈥� organisations. From commencing in the construction/civil sector, implementing hazard design reviews and preparation of construction phase plans, this led Nigel to embark on studying and passing the APS Principal Designer and Design Risk Management course in 2022.
