Construction Phase Plans London and UK

Under CDM 2015 Construction Phase Plans are now required on all projects both Commercial and Residential ?

We can assist you with the paperwork for a Construction Phase Plan for a reasonable fee and can advise on whether an HSE F10 submission is required.

We keep things simple and concentrate on the big picture that will prevent serious injuries or ill health. We will advise you but not supervise our recommendations, that should be accomplished by your site manager or health and safety director; both of which should have an SMSTS certificate or equivalent.

Our company operates within London and most major towns within the UK.

Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) a construction phase plan is required for every construction project. This does not need to be complicated.

If you are working for a domestic client, you will be in control of the project if you are the only contractor or the principal contractor.

You will be responsible for preparing a plan, organising the work; and
working together with others to ensure health and safety.

You could be a builder, plumber or other tradesman, doing small-scale routine work such as:
installing a kitchen or bathroom, structural alterations, eg chimney breast removal, roofing work, including dormer windows, extension or loft conversion.

A simple plan before the work starts is usually enough to show that you have thought about health and safety.

If the job will last longer than 500 person days or 30 working days (with more than 20 people working at the same time) it will need to be notified to HSE and it is likely to be too complex for this simple plan format.

 

Common construction fire hazards below

 

For fire to start, three things are needed : a source of ignition, a source of fuel and oxygen.

Examples of sources of ignition you may find on a construction site are:

Heaters; lighting; naked flames; electrical equipment; hot processes (such as welding or grinding); smokers’ materials (cigarettes, matches etc) and anything else that can get very hot or cause sparks.

Examples of sources of fuel you may find on a construction site are:
Flammable liquids (petrol, paint, varnish, white spirit etc); wood; paper; plastic; rubber or foam; liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); acetylene; loose packaging materials; waste rubbish; furniture.
