Health and Safety

CDM Coordinator

In an effort to counter the construction industry's poor safety record, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM Regulations) impose obligations on clients, designers, and contractors to plan, co-ordinate and manage health and safety throughout all stages of a construction project.

Individuals or bodies contemplating a building project must be aware of their duties as clients under the regulations. These include appointing competent designers and contractors, allowing adequate time, ensuring proper management, providing health and safety information to designers and contractors, ensuring adequate welfare facilities and ensuring workplaces are designed correctly. For all but minor projects, non domestic clients must appoint a CDM Coordinator to advise them on health and safety issues and on the competency and resource allocation of designers and contractors.
