Posted By Fredbigfoot does anyone know if the law requires the principle contractor to retain a copy on file of all sub-contractors safety info i.e method statements risk assessments operative certification etc or is it merely good practice to do so ....is it adequate for them to just monitor to ensure the sub-contractors are retaining and ensuring this info is suitable and up to legislative requirements thanks fred

Posted By Dave Wilson If you didn't, how could you prove that you selected competent contractors? and they had produced a safe method of work for what you employed them to do? How could you put the info of structural build and materials used for H&S File at the end of the project?

Posted By Martyn Hendrie Regulation 19 of the CDM regs requires contractors to "PROMPTLY PROVIDE" the Principal Contractor with information, including their risk assessments. This would indicate to me that the PC should have these documents in his posession not just have seen them.
