Good Afternoon All, I am hoping for a bit of succinct advice. We are due to be starting a smallish construction project, which would normally fall below the threshold for an F10 notification to the HSE, but this project will involve us setting up the site and then leaving it for a number of weeks while we wait for materials etc (the Client has asked us to set up site immediately to show the public that they are doing something!). Due to the extended length of the project, will it now fall into F10 territory? As we will have to carry out frequent visits to the site to monitor security arrangements, will this count towards the 500 person-days, even though no construction work will be carried out during the waiting period? Thank you in anticipation of your help

First - notification is a Client duty though they could ask you to do it for you and if you are the Principal Contractor you should be posting the F10 details on site. Visits to check security counting towards the >500 person days. Probably for quite ancient case law reasons. What't the big deal with notifying to be on the safe side? A few minutes and far easier than for all the duty holders to comply with their other duties under CDM (amongst other legislation). Just do it!!

Thanks for your reply Peter, I have no problems notifying, but as you say it is a Client duty and knowing our Client I expect to have to advise him on what to do(!!) so I just wanted to be sure that we either do or don't have to notify and can then advise accordingly
