Contractor's other duties (7)

• A. Make client aware of their duties under CDM
• B. Ensure all workers have skills, knowledge & experience to do their job
• C. All of the above
• D. Ensure site-specific induction

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that a contractor’s responsibilities under CDM extend beyond their own work to include guiding and coordinating safety for everyone involved. A contractor should help the client understand their CDM duties so the project has the right resources, plans, and safety arrangements in place. They must ensure all workers have the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to perform their tasks safely, which means checking competence and providing supervision or training as needed. They also have to deliver a site-specific induction so every person on site understands the hazards, rules, and emergency procedures before starting work. When you look at these duties together, it’s clear that all of these actions are part of a contractor’s role, making all of the above correct.
