Health and safety requirements—preparing to begin works and setting up the site

Health and safety requirements—preparing to begin works and setting up the site Those who control site work must check that working conditions are healthy and safe both before, and as, work begins. This Practice Note concentrates on the duties of the main contractor (‘Principal Contractor’ for the purposes of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), SI 2015/51), as it is most commonly the main contractor who has overall control of the site, specifically at the site set up stage.
