Part 2 – Client duties

Appointments

Appoint other duty holders and make sure the principal contractor carries out their duties.

Notification

Where a project is notifiable, the client must
give notice to the HSE (or the ORR as necessary), containing the particulars specified in Schedule 1 (see page 1.3.07).

Time & resources

Allow sufficient time and resources for all stages.

Information

Provide pre-construction information to designers and contractors.

Welfare

Ensure there are suitable management arrangements for the project welfare facilities.

Domestic clients have work carried out on their own house, not as part of a business. Domestic clients' duties are normally transferred to the (principal) contractor, but may be transferred to the principal designer.
