New page

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM Regulations) are intended to ensure that health and safety issues are properly considered during a project’s development so that the risk of harm to those who have to build, use and maintain structures is reduced.

They were introduced in 1994 and came into force on 31 March 1995 following publication of European Directive 92/57/EEC on minimum safety and health standards for temporary or mobile construction sites. They were substantially revised in 2007.

The regulations impose duties on:
*The client. (See CDM client for more information)
*Designers.
*The CDM co-ordinator.
*The principal contractor.
*Contractors.
*Workers. (See CDM workers for more information)

The regulations define construction work as “the carrying out of any building, civil engineering or engineering construction work”

The regulations define contractors as “any person (including a client, principal contractor or other person referred to in these Regulations) who, in the course or furtherance of a business, carries out or manages construction work”. This is as opposed to the principal contractor whose role is to role is to plan, manage and co-ordinate health and safety during construction.

The [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/320/regulation/13/made duties of contractors] include:
*Ensuring that the client is aware of their duties under the regulations
*Planning, managing and monitoring their own work and that of their workers so that as far as is reasonably practicable, it is carried out without risks to health and safety.
*Ensuring that sub-contractors are informed of the minimum amount of time that will be allowed for planning and preparation.
*Providing appropriate site inductions, information and training for their workers
*Preventing access by unauthorised persons to that site.
*Ensure that adequate welfare facilities are provided

Where projects are notifiable under the regulations (projects which last more than 30 days or involve more than 500 person-days of construction work), the [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/320/regulation/19/made contractor must also]:
*Ensure that a CDM co-ordinator and principal contractor have been appointed.
*Have access to the construction phase plan.
*Ensure that HSE has been notified before the work starts.
*Co-operate with the principal contractor in planning and managing work, provide necessary information necessary for the health and safety file and
*Comply with site rules and the construction phase plan and take appropriate action to ensure health and safety where it is not possible to comply with the construction phase plan.
*Provide the principal contractor with details to of any sub-contractor.
*Provide information needed for the health and safety file
*Inform the principal contractor of any changes needed to the construction phase plan
*Inform the principal contractor of reportable incidents or accidents.

NB revised regulations are due to come in into force in April 2015. This will remove the exemption for domestic clients (but pass their duties to the contractor) and will change the threshold for appointment of co-ordinators, to require co-ordinators where there is more than one contractor. See CDM 2015 for more information.
