Site Health and Safety Plan (Construction Phase Plan)

Every construction project in Great Britain needs a construction phase plan before work starts on site (regulation 12 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015). This template gives small builders and trades a complete, proportionate plan: project details, who does what, site rules, the significant risks and how you will control them, welfare, emergencies and monitoring.

• Any building, refurbishment, extension, repair, maintenance or demolition job – domestic or commercial
• When you are the only contractor (you draw up the plan) or the principal contractor (you draw it up with input from the principal designer)
• Before any work starts on site, then keep it up to date as the job changes

• Fill in the project details and contacts in Parts 1 and 2
• Delete risks in Part 6 that do not apply and add any that do – keep it specific to this site
• Brief everyone on site on the plan and keep a copy on site
• Review it whenever the work, the team or the risks change
