Our Health & Safety package for Principal Contractors

The Principal Contractor has overall control of the construction phase on projects involving more than one contractor. Under the CDM 2015 Regulations, the Principal Contractor is responsible for ensuring effective Health and Safety management throughout the construction phase. This role is supported by the Principal Designer and the Client.

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 the Principal Contractor must appoint a Competent Person (or persons) to help them meet their legal health and safety duties. The Competent Person must have the appropriate skills, knowledge, and experience to identify hazards and put effective controls in place to protect workers and others from harm.
