Activities that involve placing structures on event sites are known as construction activities (due to EU Directive). This became a law on 6th of April, 2015 and is known as Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. (CDM) All events with structures are required to have a ‘client’. The client will appoint a ‘Principle Designer’ (PD) and a ‘Principle Contractor’ (PC). The PD will ensure that health and safety is planned from the design stage to commencement on site, while the PC will take charge and manage the health and safety on site. The HSE event safety guide states that in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of people, employees and contractors attending and working an event, health and safety has to be …show more content…

Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 The CDM regulations are based on a European directive that looked at the main causes of accidents in construction. They found that 33% of accidents on construction sites could be attributed to the design phase of a project, meaning that designers where not thinking about the various scenarios that workers would be in when constructing their designs. Clients Whether or not a project is notifiable, clients must: manage arrangements, collate and supply information, and give time for preparation and planning.
Based on our estimate cost, we will need different number of employees each month to finish the project. This is going to be a big construction which will include different type of staffing. We will rely on both an architect and a contractor.

This is to ensure that the necessary raw materials and physical resources are available at each stage, and that the workforce on site has the right skills for the scheduled work.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the few examples that show how similar our stories are today from the storytellers of the twelfth century. But just like in today’s world, all modern stories have influences. Most of the time it's from the world around us and the time we are in.

So to fully understand The Canterbury Tales, one must explore the historical background of where and when Geoffrey Chaucer lived.
Many times, risks faced by contractors exist at no fault of their own. That is, in some cases the contractor is bound by a design that places specific hazards on the construction site. Designers who are cognizant of and responsive to their effort on construction safety would aid in making jobsites safer for construction workers (Gambatese et al, 1997). Situations such as these led the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to create a safe design concept, prevention through design. Prevention
A maximum time variance allowance of ±15% on the project is to be allowed. Quality Audits by the Architectural Teams and engineers are to be performed at regular intervals, and all other important information must be communicated to all managers involved in progress meetings. Health and Safety must be given a considerable amount of weighting due to the fact that the process is very labour intensive and involves high powered tools and heavy machinery.
