What is a Principal Contractor?
- A principal contractor is the organisation or person that coordinates the work of the construction phase of a project involving more than one contractor, so it is carried out in a way that secures health and safety. They are appointed by the client and must possess the skills, knowledge, and experience, and the organisational capability to carry out their role effectively given the scale and complexity of the project and the nature of the health and safety risks involved.
- Under the CDM Regulations, clients have a duty to appoint suitable organisations to manage the health & safety aspects of a construction project.
- Anyone responsible for appointing designers (including principal designers) or contractors (including principal contractors) to work on a project must ensure that those appointed have the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out the work in a way that secures high standards of health and safety.
