A new set of regulations for the construction industry, the Health and Safety (Management in Construction) (Jersey) Regulations 2016 were introduced in October 2016.
These Regulations place legal duties on a number of people involved with a construction project, including insurers, loss adjusters and surveyors, to help ensure health and safety is addressed from the very early stages of planning and design, through construction to eventual demolition of a building.
Insurers' responsibilities will vary depending on how works are being funded.
