1.2 Explain different methods of informing the people affected of the work
arrangements
The management of the construction industry needs to be responsible and highly cautious
during any kinds of ongoing constructions. The developer of the construction project has an
increased responsibility. The responsibility comes from the fact that the person has to
maintain different perspectives of the new construction site. The arrangements to inform and
consult means that there is an ongoing communication process between the employer and the
