Which of the following is a duty of the Principal Contractor?

This question tests the Principal Contractor’s obligation to plan and coordinate the construction phase. The Construction Phase Plan is a formal document that must be in place before any on-site work begins. It lays out how health and safety risks will be controlled, who is responsible for what, how information will be shared, and how welfare and site rules will be implemented. Having this plan ensures there is a clear, proactive approach to managing risks throughout the construction period and demonstrates compliance with the law. Welfare facilities are essential, but the key duty highlighted here is establishing the plan that coordinates safety during the construction phase. Procuring materials and handling client queries are not defining duties of the Principal Contractor in the same way the Construction Phase Plan is.
