3. Collaboration and Communication:

   • Facilitating effective communication and collaboration between designers, contractors, clients, and other stakeholders to ensure that health and safety considerations are integrated into the design at every stage.

4. Documentation and Records:

   • Maintaining comprehensive records of the design process, risk assessments, and health and safety documentation in compliance with CDM regulations.
