Planning Supervisor

Everyone working on construction projects has health and safety duties and responsibilities be they clients, designers or contractors. The CDM Regulations impose certain duties on the Client and his designers in respect of construction projects.

The purpose of the statute is to make the Client ultimately responsible for the safety of any person engaged on the physical construction of his building, and also subsequent cleaning, maintenance, alterations and demolitions during the life cycle of the building. Breach of these Regulations is a criminal offence.

The appointment of a competent Planning Supervisor is a statutory appointment and does not form part of the Architect’s, Designer’s or other Consultant’s normal services, and is the subject of a separate appointment. This is now due as the Health and Safety considerations begin at concept design and feasibility stage. In the context of the Regulations it is essential that the Planning Supervisor should be experienced in the process of design and construction as well as the application of the health and safety regulations.
