A Construction Phase Plan (previously known as Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan) is a legal document required to be prepared by Principal Contractor/Contractor on any construction project under the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015 (Regulation 12).
It is also a legal duty under the CDM Regulations on both the Client (Regulation 4) and on the Principal Contractor/Contractor (Regulations 12) that site work must not commence unless a suitable and sufficient Construction Phase Plan is in place.
The level of detail required are described in the CDM Regulations (Appendix 3). The Plan must not be generic, should be prepared considering the issues identified in the Pre-construction Information (PCI) and should reflect the specific site information.
