About the CCA
The CCA is dedicated to elevating the standards for safety in the construction industry and supports the Cayman Islands Department of Employment Relations (DER) in their effort to establish standard safety and health practices in the Cayman Islands for the benefit of the public. To do so, the DER has developed the Occupational Safety & Health Code of Practice for the Construction Industry, click on the link below to view or download a copy:
Occupational Safety & Health Code of Practice for the Construction Industry
The Cayman Contractors Association was formed in 1972 by several Caymanian contractors who sought to create uniform standards. The principle founders were Heber Arch (President), David Arch, Tommie Bodden and Jimmie Powell. For many years, the CCA acted as the only policing body for the construction industry and clients who chose a CCA member were assured of professionalism and integrity from CCA members. In 1992, the CCA wrote the first Builders Law, to license contractors and to assure that all contractors were subject to the same ethical principles that CCA members adhered to. For many years this proposed law languished, until Hurricane Ivan demonstrated the necessity to assure that all contractors adhere to high standards. The Builders Law was put into effect in 2006. Over the years, the CCA has also encouraged and assisted in the passing of other legislation regarding pensions, health plans, workmen’s comp and jobsite safety. 
The Cayman Contractors Association is a self-regulating body. It was formed in order to create uniform ethics for the construction industry; to provide assurance to potential clients that, if a CCA member was chosen to construct a project, the outcome would be successful. That standard continues today and CCA members, regardless of the size of their respective businesses, are regarded as Cayman’s most honourable contractors.
