Designer's Role
The term 'designer' has a broad meaning and relates to the function performed, rather than the profession or job title. Designers are those who, as part of their work, prepare design drawings, specifications, bills of quantities and the specification of articles and substances. This could include architects, engineers and quantity surveyors.
Designer's Duties
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.
