What it's for

On a busy project it is easy to lose track of who has been appointed and when, especially as packages are let and designers change. The register gives the site team, the client and any inspector a quick answer to "who is responsible for what here?", and links to the F10 reference where the project is notifiable.

When you need it

From the start of the project, kept up to date whenever a duty holder is appointed, changes or leaves. Many teams keep it at the front of the construction phase plan.

Who signs it

It is not signed. It is kept by the Principal Contractor or the client’s project manager, with each change recorded in the review log.

FAQ

Is a duty holders register a legal requirement?
Not as a separate document. It is a practical record that supports the duties to appoint, cooperate and share information.
Who keeps the health and safety file during the project?
Record it in the register. The Principal Designer prepares the file and passes it to the client at the end of the project.
How often should it be updated?
Whenever a duty holder changes, and at each review of the construction phase plan.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as names, references and dates. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the register opens with a list of every one. The entry rows are always left blank: we never invent entries, so you record them as the work goes on.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
