Frequently asked questions

What documents do builders need under CDM 2015?

Under CDM 2015, builders need: RAMS for each work activity, site-specific risk assessments, a Construction Phase Plan (for principal contractors), fire safety plans, COSHH assessments for hazardous materials, and evidence of competence (CSCS cards, training records). The exact requirements depend on your role — contractor, principal contractor, or domestic client.

Do I need RAMS for domestic building work?

CDM 2015 applies to all construction work, including domestic projects. While domestic clients have fewer duties than commercial clients, contractors must still plan, manage, and monitor their own work safely. A risk assessment is always required. RAMS becomes essential when working for a principal contractor or on sites with multiple contractors.

What is a Construction Phase Plan?

A Construction Phase Plan is a document required under CDM 2015 that sets out the health and safety arrangements for the construction phase of a project. It must be prepared by the principal contractor before work begins and should cover site rules, emergency procedures, risk management, and coordination between contractors.
