Statutory Inspections
LOLER thorough examinations, LEV testing, pressure system inspections, COSHH assessments, manual handling, excavation inspections and specialist RAMS
Acoustic Test Certificate (Building Regulations Part E)
The pre-completion sound insulation test certificate required for new residential buildings under Approved Document E. Tests airborne sound insulation (walls and floors between dwellings, minimum DnT,w + Ctr 45 dB) and impact sound insulation (floors, maximum L'nT,w 62 dB). Must be carried out by UKAS-accredited testing organisation. Failure requires remediation and retest before completion certificate.
Building Regulations 2010 — Approved Document E
Construction Products Compliance Register
A site-level register recording every significant construction product used on a project — its UKCA/CE markings, Declaration of Performance, test certificates, third-party approvals, and installation location. Mandatory for HRBs as part of the BSA 2022 golden thread. The Construction Products Reform White Paper (February 2026) proposes extending mandatory traceability to all projects. Focuses on structural safety, fire performance, and weathertightness products.
BSA 2022 / Construction Products Regulations 2013
COSHH Assessment — Epoxy Resins
A COSHH assessment for epoxy resin products used in structural repair mortars, flooring systems, adhesives, grouts, waterproofing, and protective coatings. Epoxy resins are skin sensitisers causing occupational contact dermatitis; amine hardeners are respiratory sensitisers. Nitrile gloves (minimum 0.4mm) required; skin health surveillance mandatory. Sensitisation is irreversible.
COSHH Regulations 2002
COSHH Assessment — Isocyanates / Spray Paint
A COSHH assessment for isocyanate-containing products including polyurethane spray paints, spray foam insulation, PU adhesives, and PU coatings. Isocyanates are powerful respiratory sensitisers — once sensitised, any future exposure triggers life-threatening occupational asthma. Air-fed RPE is mandatory for spraying operations. Annual spirometry health surveillance required. WELs: MDI 0.02 mg/m³ TWA; TDI 0.008 mg/m³ TWA.
COSHH Regulations 2002
EV Charging Infrastructure Commissioning Record
The commissioning record for EV charging infrastructure required under Approved Document S (in force June 2022). Residential: 1 active charge point per dwelling with parking. Non-residential (>10 spaces): 1 per 5 spaces. All must be smart (BS EN 62851 compliant) and OZEV-eligible. Records charge point specification, BS 7671 compliance, smart functionality testing, and cable route installation for future charge points.
Building Regulations 2010 — Approved Document S
Excavation Daily Inspection Record
A daily inspection record for excavations required before each shift, after heavy rain, and after any event affecting stability. Written record mandatory for excavations over 2 metres deep. Checks support systems, ground conditions, tension cracks, bulging, water ingress, surcharge loading, edge protection, and access. Excavation collapse is one of the most immediate and fatal hazards in construction.
CDM 2015 Reg 22 / Workplace Regs 1992 Reg 13
Latent Defects Insurance / NHBC Buildmark Registration Record
A record tracking NHBC Buildmark or equivalent 10-year structural warranty registration and stage inspections for new residential buildings. Registration must occur before foundation stage — there is no retrospective route. Covers builder registration, development registration, per-plot NHBC stage inspections (foundations, drainage, superstructure, weathertightness, completion), and Buildmark certificate issuance. Without a valid warranty, new homes cannot be sold to mortgage-dependent buyers.
Contract / Mortgage Lender Requirements / NHBC Rules 2024
LEV Thorough Examination and Test Record
The thorough examination and test record for Local Exhaust Ventilation systems provided as a COSHH control measure. Maximum 14-month examination interval for most systems. Covers face velocity measurements, duct velocity, static pressure readings, and comparison against commissioning data. HSE estimates close to 50% of all LEV systems have never been examined. Records retained for 5 years.
COSHH 2002 Reg 9(2)
LOLER Thorough Examination Report
The legally required thorough examination report for all lifting equipment and accessories under LOLER 1998. Must contain the 11 mandatory items specified in Schedule 1. Lifting accessories require 6-monthly examination; people-lifting equipment 6-monthly; all other lifting equipment 12-monthly. Immediate danger defects must be reported to HSE. Equipment with an overdue examination must not be used.
LOLER 1998 Reg 9 + Schedule 1
Manual Handling Risk Assessment
A task-specific manual handling risk assessment using the TILE framework (Task, Individual, Load, Environment) as required by MHOR 1992. Construction has the highest rate of musculoskeletal disorders of any UK industry. HSE guideline weights (25 kg male, 16 kg female at knuckle height) are starting points, not absolute limits. The generic site risk assessment does not satisfy the MHOR requirement for specific assessment.
Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
New and Expectant Mothers Risk Assessment
A specific risk assessment required when an employee notifies pregnancy, covering construction-specific hazards including chemical exposure (COSHH substances hazardous in pregnancy), manual handling, working at height, vibration, biological agents, and psychosocial risks. Must be completed within days of notification, reviewed as pregnancy progresses, and consider reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010.
MHSWR 1999 Reg 16
Pressure System Written Scheme of Examination and Inspection Record
The Written Scheme of Examination and inspection record for pressure systems exceeding 250 bar litres (pressure x volume) under PSSR 2000. Most construction site compressors fall within scope. Covers receiver vessel condition, wall thickness measurements, safety valve testing, pressure gauge accuracy, and automatic cutout testing. WSE must be in place before the system is operated.
PSSR 2000 Regs 8 and 9
RAAC Inspection and Assessment Record
An inspection and structural assessment record for Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in pre-1980 buildings. RAAC has exceeded its 30-year design life and can collapse without warning. Covers desk study, visual inspection, intrusive investigation, structural engineer assessment (moisture, carbonation, reinforcement corrosion, load capacity), risk rating, and construction works restrictions. Workers must never walk on RAAC roof planks without assessment.

Covers BS 8102:2022 waterproofing design, environmental permitting for dewatering discharge, and pump failure contingency planning.
MHSWR 1999 / CDM 2015 / Confined Spaces Regs 1997
RAMS — Facade / Curtain Wall Installation
A specialist RAMS for facade and curtain wall installation covering suspended access, BMU operations, crane lifting of heavy glazed units, dropped object prevention, weather limits for wind-sensitive work, structural fixing torque values, and COSHH for sealants. Distinct from generic WAH and glazing RAMS. Must include suspended worker rescue plan and interface with BSA golden thread for HRBs.

RAMS — Lift Installation
A specialist RAMS for lift installation covering working at height in restricted shafts, heavy component handling (counterweights up to several tonnes), multi-level working segregation, electrical isolation procedures, shaft access control, commissioning safety, and the LOLER thorough examination required before first passenger use. The shaft is the lift contractor's exclusive zone during installation.
MHSWR 1999 / LOLER 1998 / Lifts Regulations 2016
Section 104 Sewer Adoption Agreement Record
A record tracking Section 104 sewer adoption agreements with the sewerage undertaker from pre-application through to formal adoption.

Mortgage lenders require adopted sewers on residential developments.
Water Industry Act 1991 s.104
Skin Health Surveillance Record
A tiered health surveillance record for workers exposed to skin sensitisers or wet work. Covers cement/mortar wet work, epoxy resins, isocyanates, solvents, and rubber accelerators in gloves. Tier 1/2 can be conducted by a trained responsible person on site. Checks dryness, redness, itching, cracking, and whether symptoms worsen on workdays. OCD is reportable under RIDDOR.
COSHH 2002 Reg 11
Water Discharge Activity / Dewatering Consent Record
A record tracking Environment Agency permits or exemptions for construction dewatering discharge to watercourses or surface water drains. Covers permit/exemption status, water quality monitoring (turbidity, pH, suspended solids), treatment methods (settlement lagoons, flocculation), and sewerage undertaker consent for foul sewer discharge. Discharging without a permit is a criminal offence under EPR 2016.
