Rank: Super forum user		Gonzo I think this falls within the definition of "construction work" in CDM - you are altering the roof. So yes CDM applies and it's also notifiable.

Rank: Super forum user		As a contractor you also have the duty not to start work until there is an F10 in place Bob

Rank: Super forum user		I don't think you're going to be able to 'weedle' out of notification or the other requirements of CDM by claiming that this isn't construction work!

Installation of solar PV panels will be deemed as 'construction' work as per CDM. I've always thought it was the CDM Co-ordinator's responsibility to notify the HSE? That said check the client is aware of their duties under the CDM regs, depending who the client is they may have no idea the regs exist! As the work is over 30 days it is definitely notifiable.

Rank: Forum user		It is the clients duty to appoint the (CDM-C ) It is the CDM-C duty to inform HSE An F10 is usually used but the information can be notified by other means (You do not have to use the F10 it is the information as set out in schedule 1 CDM 2007 that is required not the F10) Failure of the client to appoint duty holders such as CDM-C and Principal contractor will result in the client becoming legally liable for the role of PC or/and CDM-C

Rank: Forum user		I concur with “stedman” The designer is usually the first point of contact for a client and would have a duty to ensure that the client is aware of their duties under CDM 2007. This duty is aimed at the designer who has the initial or main contact.

Rank: Super forum user		My quick reply seems to have gone missing? It appears to me that the cart is in front of the horse, if correct the client needs to appoint a CDM-C and Designer. Then the Principal Contractor has to be appointed. Written records could be useful.

Rank: Super forum user		gonzo, 1. What makes you think this isn't construction work? 2. If not constructing, then what is taking 39 days to do?

Rank: Super forum user		This is not a complex project; therefore I cannot see why the CDM-C, Designer and Principal Contractor cannot be the same organisation.
