Health and safety coordinator in Madrid
Health and safety coordination during the works and the health and safety study for the project, in the Madrid region and on the Costa del Sol (Málaga).
Health and safety
A safe, compliant site
We act as coordinador de seguridad y salud (health and safety coordinator) on works for detached houses, extensions, full renovations and buildings, and we write the health and safety study that goes with the project. We do this in the Madrid region and on the Costa del Sol (Málaga).
Fran Cortés, a building engineer (arquitecto técnico) registered with the COAATM under no. 105,287, signs the coordination, and the studio team visits the site in person. We can take it on by itself or together with the dirección de ejecución (works supervision by the building engineer).
What we do
What the health and safety coordinator does
Approving the plan
We review the health and safety plan written by the builder and approve it before the works begin.
Coordination on site
We coordinate the companies and self-employed workers on site at the same time, so that prevention is actually applied.
Incident book
We keep the incident book, which must always be on site, and record anything that needs correcting.
The law
When you need a coordinator
Royal Decree 1627/1997 requires the developer to appoint a health and safety coordinator during the works as soon as more than one company, or a company and self-employed workers, or several self-employed workers, are involved (article 3). On a house, that is almost always the case.
The same royal decree requires every project to include a health and safety study, or a basic study for smaller works (article 4). The full study is compulsory when the construction budget reaches €450,759.08 (75 million pesetas), when the works last more than 30 working days with more than 20 workers at once, or when they add up to more than 500 worker-days.
The health and safety plan is written by the builder and approved by the coordinator before the works start (article 7).

From the project to the end of the works
Step 1
Health and safety study
At the design stage, we write the full or basic health and safety study.
Step 2
The builder's plan
We review the builder's health and safety plan, ask for anything missing and approve it.

Site visits
We check the protective measures on site and coordinate the companies working at the same time.
Step 4
Changes and close-out
If the works change, we approve the amendments to the plan until the works are finished.

Ask on WhatsAppIs a coordinator compulsory for the works on my house?
If more than one company, or a company and self-employed workers, are involved, yes. On a house that is the norm: structure, building services and finishes are usually different companies.
Who appoints the coordinator?
The developer, that is, the owner who commissions the works. They must appoint one before the works start or as soon as the situation arises.
What is the difference between the study and the health and safety plan?
The study goes with the project and is written by a qualified professional. The plan is written by the builder, adapting the study to how they work, and approved by the coordinator.
Can you be coordinator and building engineer at the same time?
Yes. It is common for the building engineer (aparejador) to take on the coordination too. See building engineer (aparejador and arquitecto técnico).
Do you do this on renovations and extensions?
Yes, on any works where more than one company or self-employed worker is involved.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the length and size of the works. We give you a fixed price after seeing the project.
