Under the new CDM regulations the client must ensure the construction phase does not start unless there are suitable welfare facilities and a construction phase plan in place, and a CDM co-ordinator and principal contractor are appointed.
Throughout the course of the project the client must provide information relating to the health and safety file to the CDM co-ordinator and retain and provide access to the health and safety file.
The client must continually check competence and resources of all appointees, ensure there are suitable management arrangements for the project welfare facilities, allow sufficient time and resources for all stages, and provide pre-construction information to designers and contractors.
As part of our service we advise and assiste clients with these matters.
