Can you provide clarity on this scenario please - A very large utility company carrying out large engineering maintenance projects on their assets. The work in some cases is done 'in-house' by our own staff. The work by definition comes under 'construction work' under the 2015 regs, but would we be deemed a 'contractor' for maintenance work, even though all of the staff are employed by the client'?

I would think so too. The department that owns or utilises the assets would be the client. The department that carries out the maintenance works would be the Contractor.

Another example of where the CDM Regs go OTT.
