Construction (Design and Management) - The Statutory Documents

The Statutory Documents

This section covers mandatory documents for a CDM project, including project notification, pre-construction information, construction phase plan, and health and safety plan. Whilst pre-construction information should be produced for all projects, some form of the other documents must be produced for both notifiable and non-notifiable projects. Project notification is only needed for notifiable project. The Construction Phase Plan is also only required on notifiable projects, but something similar would still be required on non-notifiable projects to provide for effective health and safety management during construction. The Health and Safety File must be produced on notifiable projects, and is prepared by the CDM Co-ordinator. However, if a Health and Safety File exists for a structure the project modifies, the existing Health and Safety File must be amended to reflect changes. The client must establish who updates any existing Health and Safety Files. Even if a Health and Safety File is not required on a non-notifiable project, as-built and operational and maintenance information are still required.

Famous quotes containing the word documents:

    Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
