What risk assessments are required for construction?↓
UK construction sites require risk assessments for all significant activities under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. CDM 2015 additionally requires a Construction Phase Plan for all projects and a Health and Safety File for notifiable projects. Specific assessments are needed for: working at height, excavation, manual handling, hazardous substances (COSHH), and noise.
How many hazards should a construction risk assessment include?↓
There is no fixed number, the assessment must be "suitable and sufficient." For complex construction activities, 10–20 hazards may be appropriate. For a simple single-trade task (e.g. a plumber replacing a boiler), 5–8 hazards typically covers the key risks. Quality and accuracy matter more than quantity.
Do subcontractors need their own risk assessments?↓
Yes. Subcontractors must have their own risk assessments for the work they carry out. The Principal Contractor is responsible for coordinating these and ensuring subcontractor risk assessments are consistent with the Construction Phase Plan.
