All those who work in the construction industry have their part to play looking after their own health and safety and in improving the industry’s health and safety record.

On all projects designers will need to:

• Eliminate hazards and risks during design
• Provide information about remaining risks

Where projects are notifiable under the Regulations, designers must also:

• Check that the client is aware of their duties and that a CDM co-ordinator has been appointed
• Provide information needed for the health and safety file
