A project is notifiable to the HSE if the construction phase will be longer than 30 days or 500 person days of construction work.Any day on which construction work takes place is counted. What matters is how many days of construction work the project entails, not when these days occur.
An F10 form must be completed to notify the HSE of any work which falls into this category.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 were introduced to impose health and safety management responsibilities at all stages of a project and to extend the health and safety culture from the ‘workface’ of industry to the corporate management structure.
Construction work means the carrying out of any building, civil engineering or engineering construction work but does not include the exploration for an extraction of mineral resources or activities preparatory thereto carried out at a place where such exploration or extraction is carried out.
