Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP)

O'Flynn safety provides effective safety expertise in coordinating the role of PSDP. We work with and assist designers, architects and project managers in fulfilling the PSDP and health, safety coordinator roles.
The 'Client' must appoint, in writing before design work starts, a Project Supervisor for the Design Process (PSDP) who has adequate training, knowledge and experience.

Duties of the PSDP

The project Supervisor Design Process must 

• Identify hazards arising from the design or from the technical, organisational, planning, or time related aspects of the project
• Where possible eliminate the hazards or reduce the risk
• Communicate necessary control measures, design assumptions, or remaining risks to the PSCS so they can be dealt with in the Safety, Health Plan
• Ensure that the work of designers is co-ordinated to ensure safety
• Organise co-operation between designers
• Prepare a written Preliminary Safety, Health Plan for any project where construction will take more than 500 person days or 30 working days or there is a particular risk and deliver it to the 'Client' prior to tender
• Prepare a “Safety File” for the completed structure and give it to the client
• Notify the Authority and client of non compliance with any written directions issued
• The PSDP may issue directions to designers or contractors or others
