Responsibilities will vary depending upon the exact contract text but normally all site
operations will be the responsibility of the contractor and sub-contractors
It is important that the division of responsibility between contractors is clear in
respect of the lifting and stability of reinforcement cages
Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWC)
A TWC should always be appointed. The TWC should co-ordinate the necessary
actions in accordance with BS5975:2008+A1:2011
Statute
All parties have some responsibility. The Construction (Design and Management)
Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) and associated Approved Code of Practice (ACOP)
are directly applicable to the design and management of both permanent and
temporary works.
Permanent Works Designers (PWD)
PWD (employed by clients or contractors) must give consideration to situations
where significant risks might arise from their design e.g. the configuration, weight,
stability, size etc. of reinforcement cages, and where the significant risk could be
reduced by reasonable actions by the PWD. Where significant risk remains, this
must be brought to the attention of the contractor in accordance with the CDM
Regulation 11. Significant risk is where it is not likely to be obvious to a competent
contractor; unusual; or likely to be difficult to manage effectively (CDM ACoP
para.133).
Temporary Works Designers (TWD)
TWD must give specific consideration to reinforcement cages and ensure the design
is such that lifting and stability in place is achieved safely. Information on significant
residual risks should be passed onto the contractor.
CDM Co-ordinator (CDM-C) (for notifiable projects)
The CDM-C has the responsibility of ensuring that all designers are co-operating
and co-ordinating their work, and working to eliminate hazards and reduce risk.
