Design management plan
This is a really useful resource for teaching how to discharge the duties of the Principal Designer under CDM 2015.
Like the Principal Contractor, the Principal Designer must "plan, manage and monitor" part of the project delivery, namely the pre-construction phase.
The Principal Contractor (and even the Contractor for smaller less complex projects) must produce a Construction Phase Plan. This makes sense. In order "to plan" you need "a plan".
Since the Principal Designer has a similar duty, there is an implied requirement on the Principal Designer to produce a Design Management Plan, Design Execution Plan or Pre-Construction Phase Plan.
The list of headings provided here is helpful because it shows how to integrate H&S into projects rather than having it as a separate item.
Like many other aspects such as the commercial aspects, professionals need to be continuously mindful of the issues and occasional focussed on them.
