Under the Safety, Health and Welfare (Construction) Regulations 2012, the appointment of a Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) or Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSCS) is a legal requirement for projects meeting the relevant criteria as set out in the regulations.
The project supervisor design process must be an individual or body corporate i.e. a limited company. In all cases the person or company undertaking the role must have the necessary competence to carry out the relevant duties.
