PSCS Services

Our Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSCS) service provides developers, clients, and main contractors with an externally appointed, legally competent partner to manage and co-ordinate health and safety matters during the construction phase of a project. Operating under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013, Holland Consulting assumes the formal legal responsibilities of the PSCS role. This includes finalising the construction phase risk registers, organizing active subcontractor cooperation, and drafting the definitive Construction Stage Health and Safety Plan.

Statutory Context & Construction Governance

The regulatory landscape demands strict compliance management to control site hazards. Our professional corporate service helps clients fulfil their legal duties across building projects:

• Legal Mandate: Legally required for construction projects in Ireland under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013.
• Operational Scope: Holland Consulting applies extensive experience in construction health and safety to manage projects of any scale, ensuring complete compliance regardless of size.
• Safety Advisor Rule: The regulations dictate the mandatory appointment of a dedicated Safety Advisor where more than 100 persons are employed on-site.

Why trust Holland Safety with your PSCS duties?

We don't just provide safety advice; we manage live sites. Our consultants are active practitioners who develop and implement the Construction Stage Safety Plans that pass HSA inspections daily. With our deep industry expertise, we ensure your project remains audit-ready, compliant, and on schedule from day one.

When PSCS Person must be appointed?

A PSCS must be appointed where there is more than one contractor on site, where a particular risk is identified, where the work will last more than 30 working days or 500 person-days.

The PSCS must be appointed before the start of any construction on the project. This is to make sure that the Safety and Health Plan can be properly formulated before work begins. The timely appointment of the PSCS will allow to prepare the plan to ensure that no work will take place on the site before adequate safety measures have been identified and put in place.
