Construction Activities
Everyone controlling construction site work
has health and safety responsibilities. Checking that working
conditions are healthy and safe before work begins, and ensuring
that the proposed work is not going to put others at risk, require
planning and organisation. This applies whatever the size of the
site.
The Construction (Design
and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM) can help you to:
- improve health and safety in your
industry
- have the right people for the right job at
the right time to manage the risks on site
- focus on effective planning and manage the
risk - not the paperwork
Notifiable construction
work
If you think you are undertaking a construction
project that will last more than 30 days or involve more than 500
person days you must submit a F10 notification form via the
Health
and Safety Executive website
