Morning All Can anyone tell me what the implications are of putting other companies to work who are not our contractors but are working on the sme job as we are as contractors, neither of us are PC. What legal HSE clauses would we be able to go to the client with and quote to show them they are in the wrong for asking us to do this. Thanks M

The Management regs & CDM require adequate cooperation and cooperation between different employers. Assume this is a CDM job? If notifiable, client must appoint a PC & CDM coordinator. Given what you have said - what element of control do you have over the work being given to the other contractors?

You will probably find that there is a clause in your contract which states you must inform the PC if you are subbing the work you are carrying out. You should then manage them as you would your own employees.

Thanks to all who replied, this has now been raised with the client who are CDMC and PC but asked our night shift to take a permit out for another company who are the clients contractor not ours. Some 'big' firms don't have a clue about CDM but hopefully they will wake up before it's too late. Thanks M
