Which of the following is NOT listed as a contractor's duty under CDM?

Understanding CDM duties helps you see who is responsible for what on site. Contractors must plan, manage, and monitor their own work and coordinate with other duty holders to keep the site safe. They must provide information, instruction, and training to workers, run site inductions that cover site-specific risks, and ensure the site is secure so unauthorised people cannot access it. They also respond to safety issues and cooperate with the client and others to reduce risk. The item that is not a contractor duty is making the client aware of their duties under CDM. It’s the client’s own responsibility to understand and meet their CDM duties, even though the project team should help ensure they are informed. The other options align with typical contractor responsibilities: site-specific induction is required to inform workers about local hazards, and preventing unauthorised access is part of maintaining a safe site. Providing monthly progress reports isn’t a defined CDM duty, though it may appear as contract management in some projects.
