Managing hazards associated with architectural and construction projects from conception to completion.
Safe by design.
The CDM Regs 2015/CDM Regs 2016 (NI) require that a principal designer and principal contractor are appointed on projects that involve more than one contractor. The Regulations define contractors as ‘…those who do the actual construction work and can be either an individual or a company,’ it is generally considered that this includes trade contractors and situations where it is reasonably anticipated there will be more than one contractor at any time.
This is a very broad definition, as all but the smallest domestic projects are likely to involve more than one contractor and so a principal designer and principal contractor must be appointed.

What are Notifiable Projects?
If your project is ‘notifiable’ you need to notify the HSE (NI). A project is notifiable when: The construction is scheduled to last longer than 30 working days, and it will have more than 20 workers working at the same time at any point in the building project. Or, if the construction work has more than 500 person days. If your project is notifiable, the client must write to the HSE to give notice using an F10 form (find it here) as soon as possible before the construction phase begins. When the client is domestic, the responsibility to notify the HSE transfers to the contractor.
