CDM (Construction, Design & Management) Regulations (2007) apply to most common building, civil engineering and engineering construction work. Developers and builders must notify The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of the site if the construction work is expected to either:
The CDM Regulations place duties on all those who can contribute to the Health and Safety of a construction project. The regulations place duties upon clients, designers, contractors and CDM co-ordinators, and require the production of certain documents ' The Health and Safety Plan' and 'The Health and Safety File'.
The degree of detail and complexity of a CDM project is generally proportionate to the nature, size and level of health and safety risks involved in the project.
Therefore, for smaller projects with minimal health and safety risks risks you will only be required to take some simple, straightforward steps and specialist skills and requirements will be minimal.
Aedis can offer experieced CDM co-ordinators / assessors who will be happy to answer any questions or discuss likely fees for your project.
