Regulation 8 Competence of planning supervisor, designers and contractors
No client shall appoint any person as planning supervisor in respect of a project unless the client is reasonably satisfied that the person he intends to appoint has the competence to perform the functions of planning supervisor under these Regulations in respect of that project.
No person shall arrange for a designer to prepare a design unless he is reasonably satisfied that the designer has the competence to prepare that design.
No person shall arrange for a contractor to carry out or manage construction work unless he is reasonably satisfied that the contractor has the competence to carry out or, as the case may be, manage, that construction work.
Any reference in this regulation to a person having competence shall extend only to his competence—
to perform any requirement; and
to conduct his undertaking without contravening any prohibition,
imposed on him by or under any of the relevant statutory provisions.
