Planning Supervision (CDM Regulations)
The requirement for a Planning Supervisor in connection with
construction works was created under the Construction (Design
& Management) Regulations 1994 that came into effect in
1995. The Regulations place a statutory responsibility upon
the client to appoint a person(s) of competence to act as
a Planning Supervisor to monitor and improve Health &
Safety issues relating to most building works and construction
projects.
The Planning Supervisor is required to ensure:
- The Health & Safety Executive is notified of the project.
- Co-operation between designers on Health & Safety
issues.
- Designers comply with their CDM duties.
- A pre-tender Health & Safety plan is prepared.
- A Health & Safety File is prepared upon completion
of the works.
Additional duties may include:
- Preparing the Project Health & Safety File.
- Giving advice on the competence and adequacy of resources
of any designers being asked to prepare designs.
- Assess the competence and adequacy of resources of contractors
to be used to carry out and manage construction work.
- Advice on the suitability of the Health & Safety Plan
prepared by the contractor in order that the client can
commence construction work.
Our professionally qualified and experienced building surveyors
can be appointed to act in the role of Planning Supervisor.
