The company have decide to purchase a portacabin early next year due to the lack of available space. Obviously we have to run electrical power into the cabin but they do not see a requirement for a water supply. My question is this, does this fall under CDM regs therefor the need to inform the HSE?

Notification to HSE :- You should complete an F10 form when you think you are undertaking a project that will last more than 30 days or involve more than 500 person days. http://www.hse.gov.uk/co...cdm/faq/notification.htmAlmost ALL construction work will come under CDM --as Part 2 covers general duties that apply to all construction projects Part 3 contains additional duties that only apply to notifiable construction projects, ie those lasting more that 30 days or involving more than 500 person days of construction work Part 4 contains practical requirements that apply to all construction sites

Never done this myself, notify HSE under CDM that is.

CDM applies, but would normally be under threshold for notification. Biggest element of the job will be putting in the pads (foundation). Running cable shouldn't need to be a huge job. May not need water and drainage depends where it is in relation to main office or whatever. Once the thing has been offloaded and linked up get someone else to check the electrics before you occupy it. I've come across three cabins with no earth connection and one with a live earth... I've worled with guys who've worked three or more years in removable structures, they can be quite comfortable when properly set up. Plan it properly, furnish it and move in.

Question that may help others help you.
Is this a construction project of some kind
or
Do you just not have enough space where you work and rather than get a bigger building you are expanding into a portacabin as a permanent office?. (so could still use main buildings facilities etc)

I am taking this that as you work in Food and Drink, that this is an office/warehouse environment, and you just want another office. I dont personally THINK (didnt check), that this needs to be notified, and unless there is a toilet its doesnt need water, a simple water dispencer until can be suitable. (Again all I think's!)
