The Health and Safety Plan During the Construction Phase

The health and safety plan should set out the arrangements for securing the health and safety of everyone carrying out the construction work and all others who may be affected by it. 

It should deal with:

• The arrangements for the management of health and safety of the construction work
• The monitoring systems for checking that the health and safety plan is being followed
• Health and safety risks to those at work, and others, arising from the construction work, and from other work in premises where construction work may be carried out

Further details about the Health and Safety Plan during the construction phase can be found on CDM Information Sheet No 5.
