CDM Co-ordination

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 came into force on 6th April 2007 and replaces the previous 1994 regulations. The 2007 Regulations have been introduced to integrate health and safety into projects and have imposed a number of specific duties on clients if they are intending to construct, demolish, alter, extend or maintain premises.

CDMThe key aim of CDM2007 is to integrate health and safety into the management of the project and to encourage everyone involved to work together to:

  • Improve the planning and management of projects from the very start
  • Identify hazards early on, so that they can be eliminated or reduced at the design or planning stage and the remaining risks can be properly managed
  • Target effort where it can do the most in terms of Health and Safety
  • Discourage unecessary bureaucracy.*

CDM

In addition, when a project exceeds 30 working days or 500 person days a CDM Co-ordinator must be appointed by the client and the HSE must be notified of the works.

We are able to assist clients with advice and guidance to ensure that they are fully aware of their responsibilities under the Regulations and also act as CDM Co-ordinators to advise and assist clients with their duties.
