Your obligations

The Health and Safety File is a legal requirement of the CDM Regulations 2007. It is a record of health and safety information for the construction project and must be kept for future use at the end of the construction. It must be kept up to date and retained for the life of the structure.

The Health and Safety File is designed to identify key health and safety risks which may be encountered on site. It can also contain relevant operating and maintenance manuals.

As a rule, the Principal Contractor has the responsibility to compile the Health and Safety File from information supplied by Designers, Contractors and other parties. Our CDM Coordinator will check the contractor’s information as supplied and help you compile the File before it is handed over to the Client at completion of the construction project.

How we will help you

CQMS can help you by:

• liaising with the Client, Designers, Principal Contractor and Contractors and checking the information supplied

• ensuring the Health and Safety File is completed at the project completion

• ensuring the file contains all the relevant health and safety information necessary for leaseholders, or future owners
