−	At present, domestic clients do not normally have any duties under the regulations (although they may have duties if they control the way the work is carried out - See CDM for self-builders and domestic clients for more information). However, the regulations are due to be substantially revised. These revisions will include:
−	*Removing the exemption for domestic clients, but passing their duties to the contractor.
−	*Changing the threshold for appointment of co-ordinators, to require co-ordinators where there is more than one contractor. HSE suggest that this will capture close to an additional 1 million projects a year, but that the requirements will be proportionate and little more work will be necessary than at present. Some concern has been expressed about what constitutes more than one contractor, and how it is possible to know how many contractors may be needed. In addition, it will separate the threshold for co-ordination from that of notification.
