Posted By s j robinson Hi, Am after guidance as to who is responsible for requesting risk assessment and method statements from delivery companies for delivery of equipment to construction sites. Is it A) The client who has instructed an equipment delivery to the site whilst the site is under principle contractor control or B) The principal contractor as the site is under there control. Hope this makes sense many thanks Steve

Posted By Christopher Kelly Hi Steve - principal contractor. Planning Supervisor should have covered it for the client but they would just say that the principal contractor should review working arrangements, risk assessments. The PC should have some arrangements in place to ensure that they retain control of personnel onto site (ie when the client holds keys and brings their own contractors for maintenance). As far as possible these needs should be identified and areas segregated as far as possible, if this isn't possible then they should be requesting the client's contractor to arrange their contractors' RA/MS. This can be difficult but it is important to ensure that the client understands the PC's responsibilities. Hope of help, Regards
