What are Construction Phase Plans?
A construction phase plan sets out the health and safety arrangements for managing construction work. It is a legal requirement under CDM Regulations and must be in place before construction work begins.
A good construction phase plan is practical, site-specific and clearly understood by those working on site. Our role is to ensure construction phase plans are clear, practical and usable on site, not documents that sit on a shelf.
