Design decisions made during the pre-construction phase have a significant influence in ensuring the project is delivered in a way that secures the health and safety of everyone affected by the work.<\/p>\n<p>Principal designers must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>plan, manage, monitor and coordinate health and safety in the pre-construction phase.

When working for a\u00a0domestic client, the client duties will normally be taken on by another duty-holder (often the principal contractor on projects involving more than one contractor). However, the principal designer can enter into a written agreement with the domestic client to take on the client duties in addition to their own.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>READ MORE<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/construction\/cdm\/2015\/principal-designers.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Principal designers: roles and responsibilities (HSE)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/uksi\/2015\/51\/contents\/made\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (Legislation.gov.uk)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>RELATED VIDEOS<\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"sc-youtube sc-wrapbox sc-wrapbox-style-default rounded-corners sc-wrapbox-position-below\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 300px;\"><div class=\"sc-wrapbox-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sc-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jveWX_TJuZQ?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>[vc_message]Please watch from 17:00 for Principal Designer&#8217;s role[\/vc_message][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Principal Designer&#8217;s role is very important in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout a project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11080,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[153,20],"tags":[113,781,780,559,115,189,190],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is the role of the Principal Designer?
