Posted By JLH70 Quick one for the CDM experts. If an F10 notification for construction work has expired and work is still ongoing, what would the legal implications be to the Principal Contractor and/or CDM-C? Fine? Improvement Notice? I would have thought that as its the CDM-C's duty to inform, they should also monitor the dates and be liable for any penalties. In reality, I believe the PC/Contractor and CDM-C would each monitor the dates (and other information) and raise the issues if the F10 needs an extension/amendment but I just wondered who the buck would stop with if the extension of date etc had been missed and the notification epired by some considerable time.

Posted By Peter Tanczos Interesting legal question - The Law clearly states that HSE needs to be notified by the CDM-C, and that Client and Principal Contractor details are present but that's it. There's no further legal obligation to ensure that the information remains accurate. It is merely 'helpful' to notify HSE of a change of PC or if the dates change etc. I don't know what would happen (on appeal) to an IN issued because the F10 expired. As a former inspector I would have to think long and hard about what I could actually issue the notice for. I do know that I would be slightly annoyed and looking in far greater detail at other issues if I suspected that you already knew the F10 had expired and weren't in the process of remedying the situation. It would also indicate other "failings" might be present that are enforceable.
