The core seven
- Assessment of likely risks.
- Health and safety measures for the whole construction process.
- Site organisation — employer, project supervisor, coordinator, subcontractors, work teams.
- Working methods for each work item.
- When the work will be done — the schedule of measures and methods.
- By whom — a named responsible party for each item.
- Coordination between parties: different employers, subcontractors, self-employed workers and separate teams on the same site.
Around the core
- What the employer must provide: order, access, materials, maintenance, storage, waste, duration, cooperation, interaction and personal protective equipment. These give the measures and methods sections their concrete scope.
- Informing workers and consulting them: two separate duties; the first is one-way, the second is not.
- Suitability and periodic inspection of work equipment; scaffold erection and dismantling take place under the supervision of an assigned civil engineer.
- Preventing unauthorised entry to the site.
- Reviewing and updating the plan — the coordinator takes progress and changes into account.

The measurement
This table was derived from the regulation and its annexes: 19 items, 14 unconditional. The number is not an estimate but a list read article by article.
