What the job starts from.
This page is a guide to a CDM 2015 duty. It is not a screen in EHSync Projects, and the app does not do this part of the job for you.
Record
The pre-construction information
The duty
CDM 2015
Where it is used
Before the site opens
What the duty asks for
- Hazards already known, site constraints, and what the designers have to hand over.
- Design risks are recorded, with who accepted each one.
- A notifiable job needs an F10 notice to the HSE. Sending it stays with the client, or the principal designer on the client's behalf.
Good practice
- Keep the known hazards with the job before the first induction.
- Name the person who accepted each design risk.
- EHSync Projects can hold the files and the tasks for this stage. It does not prepare or send the F10.
