Company Background
The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations were enacted in Great Britain in 1994  (1995 in Northern Ireland) and  replaced by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 on April 6th 2007 in GB with the new regulations in force in Northern Ireland on  9th July 2007.  This has since been revised by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 in England, Scotland and Wales.  Similarly in Northern Ireland on 1st August 2016 with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (NI) 2016.
Similar legislation was introduced in the Republic of Ireland, in the Safety, Health & Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 1995, which were amended in 2002 & 2006 and Superseded in 2013.
Against this background, Hasco Europe Limited was established in June 1995 to provide an independent service of Planning Supervision, later to become CDM Co-ordination &/or Principal Designers and act as Project Supervisors Design Stage, later as Project Supervisors Design Process (in the Republic of Ireland).

The control and management of health and safety for both their own employees and contractors’ employees has been a high priority. This experience has been invaluable to their role as Principal Designers.
