Hi Guys
On a CDM Reportable Project (F 10 issued) can I safely say that the Principal Contractor is responsible for Site Induction?
In addition do you guys agree with this statement:
"The CDM Co-ordinator will have an ongoing role as the project progresses since there is a requirement to liaise with all designers engaged in the project. It must be stressed however that the CDM Co-ordinator has no function in relation to site supervision or health and safety management, neither is there a requirement to visit the site during the construction stage of the project unless explicitly requested by the client".
This is not my area of expertise so your responses will be most welcome.
Your thoughts please
Rod (Sad one working on Good Friday)

Hi Rod
Yes to both questions. Also liaison with the PC to attain information for the H&S File.
Quite a lot of us working in Glasgow, though my bus was VERY quiet, and stopping for significant periods at bus stops, presumably so as to not get ahead of timetable with little traffic around.
Regards, Peter

Yes PC responsible for induction.
A CDM-C is not legally responsible for the management of H&S once site commences, but if I pay a CDM-C to do his work, part of this includes spot checks to ensure benchmarks are being met whilst construction work is undergoing i.e. practice mirrors theory.
I have yet to find a CDM-C to have any problem with that.
So from a purely commercial point of view in the current climate adaptability is key for any business wishing to succeed and IMO this applies across the board incl. CDM-Cs.

Be careful of the "shades of grey" here.
Where the Project overlaps or is contained within the wider employer's premises, there may well be induction requirements placed on the employer (Client).
The path must be left clear for the CDM-C to engage with the PC (in a structured fashion, usually via a series of review meetings) to gather information for the H&S File and be involved in any continuing design work during the Construction Phase.

If this is not you field of expertise, what are you doing filling in and submitting the F10?
If you are assuming the role of the CDM Co-ordinator, you must be experienced in the industry (See the CDM Regs 2007.)

Many thanks.
Northtecsafety,
Please read the post, at no time did I say I was filling in and submitting the F10 and in addition I did not state I was assuming the role of the CDM Coordinator, as you quite rightly state “you must be experienced in the industry (See the CDM Regs 2007.)”
If I take it you are in the Safety Business then I would state that “Attention to Detail “is a vital part?
All you have done by reading my original post is make assumptions, would you make sweeping assumptions if you were carrying out an accident investigation?
Top Tip engage Brain before engaging Gob and Typing Fingers.
Yours Aye,
Rod D
