A building project will last 40 working days, with at most 12 workers on site at one time and about 450 person days of work in total. Must it be notified to HSE under CDM 2015?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. No, as it meets neither notification threshold
- Step 1: Notification is needed if the work lasts over 30 working days and has more than 20 workers at once, or exceeds 500 person days. Step 2. Here the peak is 12 workers and the total is 450 person days, so neither test is met. Answer: No, as it meets neither notification threshold. Why not the others: Duration alone or a peak of more than 10 workers does not trigger notification, and the client's status is irrelevant to these thresholds.
