The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM) place statutory duties on the client (i.e. any person or organisation commissioning construction, maintenance or report work) to take an obligatory health and safety role in the construction process.
The client is also required to appoint a CDM Co-ordinator to supervise the health and safety aspects of the project design, notify the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of the works and to ensure that the Principal Contractor is adequately coordinating the health and safety aspects of the construction phase. Failure to comply with the regulations could lead to a criminal prosecution.
Our experienced professionals can take on the role of the CDM Co-ordinator, preparing the necessary documents, report the project to the HSE and ensuring that all contractors are complying with the Regulations.
