What do designers need to do before commencing work on a project?
Designers should make sure that they are competent and adequately resourced to address the health & safety issues likely to be involved in the design. Designers are often the first point of contact for a client and the regulations require them to check that clients are aware of their duties under the regulations. Inlane are able to assist designers to fulfil this obligation. The duty to inform is aimed at the designer who has the initial or main contact with the client. Other designers need take no action unless they have reason to suspect that clients are not aware of their duties. These duties apply whenever designs are prepared which may be used in construction work in Great Britain. This includes concept designs, competitions, bids for grant, modifications of existing designs and relevant work carried out as part of feasibility studies.
