3) take reasonable steps to ensure co-operation between designers;
4) ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that enough attention has been paid to health and safety during design; and that the design includes adequate information about anything which might affect the health or safety of people carrying out construction or cleaning work, or anyone else who might be affected by this work;
