Whatever your role in construction, CDM aims to improve health and safety in the industry by helping you to:

• sensibly plan the work so the risks involved are managed from start to finish

• have the right people for the right job at the right time

• cooperate and coordinate your work with others

• have the right information about the risks and how they are being managed

• communicate this information effectively to those who need to know

• consult and engage with workers about the risks and how they are being managed

HSE has published Legal Series guidance that supports CDM 2015 and explains it in more detail.

​

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) came into force on 6 April 2015, replacing CDM 2007. This publication provides guidance on the legal requirements for CDM 2015 and is available to help anyone with duties under the Regulations. It describes:

• the law that applies to the whole construction process on all construction projects, from concept to completion

• what each dutyholder must or should do to comply with the law to ensure projects are carried out in a way that secures health and safety

CDM 2015 is subject to certain transitional provisions which apply to construction projects that start before the Regulations come into force and continue beyond that date.

​

Our consultants will be happy to assist your business in your role within CDM.
