Hi. We're struggling with HSE.
We have a Principal Designer who, it turns out, is a jobbing builder who has dome a number of attics and contracted for other PDs but never done a full PD role himself.
HSE have become involved.
They want a Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan, he hasn't done one before, and isn't capable of doing one now. So it's down to us, as Principal Contractor, to do this ourselves.
Has anyone done this? Is there a simple proforma out there somewhere, or a sample I could amend, or does someone know who we'd go to for advice, so the PD can get hand-held through doing it himself.
And, no, we can't just fire him. It's complicated.

Yes that's what the requirement is anyway. It's not the PD role to develop the construction phase plan, he does the pre-construction information, and then hands it over to you as the principle contractor.

There is no standard layout, as all contracts are different.
 
Ours are typically 30 pages long, even for small contacts, and they should be reviewed and added to constantly.

Safe systems of work, RAMs, asbestos, dust, lighting, lifting, digging, storage, first aid, site access, security, who does what, signing in book, welfare the whole lot.

By not having this in the first place shows the HSE that you have not managed safety and are instantly at fault should they progress the investigation.

Hire someone who can get all this done for you and advise you how to make amends.
