The Health and Safety File
The Health and Safety File, a document for which the CDM coordinator should
assume responsibility, is to be deposited with the client at the completion of the
contract. It will probably be assembled from information acquired gradually and
steadily as the works progress. The client might need briefing as to its purpose,
safekeeping and future use.
The Health and Safety File should contain the information needed to allow future
construction work, including cleaning, maintenance, alterations, refurbishment
and demolition, to be carried out safely. Information in the file should alert those
carrying out such work to risks, and should help them to decide how to work
safely.
The file should be useful to:
(a)clients, who have a duty to provide information about their premises to
those who carry out work there
