Since the introduction of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, there has been a legal requirement to appoint a Principal Designer (more or less replacing the CDM Co-ordinator role).
Safety Advisory Services, with their vast experience in Construction Projects, can provide the role of Principal Designer, to plan, manage, monitor and co-ordinate health and safety in the pre construction phase of a project, including:
- identifying, eliminating or controlling foreseeable risks
- ensuring designers carry out their duties
- preparing and providing relevant information to other duty holders
- liaising with the Principal Contractor to help in the seamless transition to the Construction Phase of the project.
Remember, a Principal Designer should be appointed as early in the design and planning process as is practicable.
