How do Annex 2 high-risk works appear in the plan?

Question

Accepted Answer

Annex 2 lists the work types where workers may be exposed to particular risks. If any of those 11 types is present on the construction area, the plan must contain measures specific to that work — general measures do not satisfy the requirement. The same list appears as Annex II in the EU directive and as Schedule 3 in the UK's CDM 2015; the measurement shows Schedule 3 and Annex II to be the same 10 items. Conditional but hard to avoid An Annex 2 item enters the plan conditionally : it becomes mandatory if the work is present. In practice most construction areas contain at least one — so "conditional" should not be read as "rarely needed". General measures are not enough A sentence such as "a harness shall be used when working at height" does not satisfy the Annex 2 requirement. What is asked for is work-specific : which anchor at which point, which access method, which rescue arrangement.

But the thresholds and procedures are not the same: sharing a list is not sharing a duty.

Annex 2 lists, in eleven items, the work that involves occupational health and safety risks.	Regulation on OHS in Construction Work, Annex 2	The same list in three regimes: Türkiye — Annex 2, eleven categories of high-risk work.
Where Annex 2 work is carried out on the site, the preparation-stage coordinator must ensure that the specific measures for that work are included in the plan.	Regulation on OHS in Construction Work, art. 10(1)(b)	A general measure is not enough: what is required is the measure specific to that work.
A coordinator need not be assigned where the work is outside the notification thresholds and no work involving the Annex 2 risks is present.	Regulation on OHS in Construction Work, art. 8(3)	Conditional but unavoidable: an Annex 2 item enters the plan conditionally, yet most sites carry at least one.

Obligation	Legal basis	How the page covers it
Annex II lists work involving particular risks to the safety and health of workers.	Directive 92/57/EEC, Annex II	The same list in three regimes: European Union — Directive 92/57/EEC, Annex II.
The safety and health plan must also include specific measures concerning work which falls within one or more of the categories of Annex II.	Directive 92/57/EEC, art. 5(b)	A general measure is not enough; the specific measure goes into the plan.

Schedule 3 lists work involving particular risks.	CDM 2015, Schedule 3	The same list in three regimes: United Kingdom — CDM 2015, Schedule 3.
The construction phase plan must set out the health and safety arrangements and site rules and, where applicable, must include specific measures concerning work falling within one or more of the categories in Schedule 3.
