A Principal Contractor is appointed to manage and control the construction phase of any project involving multiple contractors. They play a crucial role in overseeing health and safety on site, ensuring that all work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with regulations.

To fulfil this role effectively, a Principal Contractor must have the appropriate skills, knowledge, experience, and—where required—the necessary organisational capability to manage construction‑phase risks and coordinate all site activities to a professional standard.

MPC Principle contractors:

  • Plan, manage, monitor and coordinate the entire construction phase
  • Take account of the health and safety risks to everyone affected by the work (including members of the public), in planning and managing the measures needed to control them
  • Liaise with the client and principal designer for the duration of the project to ensure that all risks are effectively managed
  • Prepare a written construction phase plan before the construction phase begins, implement, and then regularly review and revise it to make sure it remains fit for purpose
  • Have ongoing arrangements in place for managing health and safety throughout the construction phase
  • Consult and engage with workers about their health, safety and welfare
  • Ensure suitable welfare facilities are provided from the start and maintained throughout the construction phase
  • Check that anyone they appoint has the skills, knowledge, experience and, where relevant, the organisational capability to carry out their work safely and without risk to health
  • Ensure all workers have site-specific inductions, and any further information and training they need
  • Take steps to prevent unauthorised access to the site
  • Liaise with the principal designer to share any information relevant to the planning, management, monitoring and coordination of the pre-construction phase
