This one-day course provides delegates with the knowledge required to understand and discharge the duties of the Principal Contractor under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) – covering appointment, planning and managing the construction phase, developing the Construction Phase Plan, and coordinating effectively with the Principal Designer and Client.
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
• Explain the CDM 2015 duty holder roles and identify when the Principal Contractor role is triggered, including notifiable projects
• Describe the appointment process for the Principal Contractor and the standards of care that apply under the Regulations
• Explain the reciprocal relationship and liaison duties between the Principal Contractor, the Principal Designer and the Client
• Describe the content, purpose and development of the Construction Phase Plan, and the Principal Contractor's sign-off responsibility
• Apply the Principal Contractor's duties for planning, managing and coordinating activity on site, including consulting and engaging the workforce
• Describe the Principal Contractor's contribution to, and handover responsibilities for, the Health and Safety File
• Demonstrate application of the above through case-study analysis and a formal knowledge assessment
Learning is assessed throughout the day through verbal questioning, syndicate exercises and a facilitated case study, followed by a closed-book knowledge assessment at the end of the course covering all learning outcomes. Delegates achieving the required pass mark receive an APS certificate of completion; those who do not will be offered feedback and the opportunity to resit in line with our resit policy.
