Managing CDM Regulations compliance on construction projects
Navigate your CDM 2015 duties - from identifying your role to HSE notification and construction phase planning
-
Know your role on the project
Your duties depend on whether you are the client, a designer, the principal designer, the principal contractor or a contractor.
-
Notify HSE if the project is notifiable
Larger projects must be notified to HSE before the construction phase begins.
-
Appoint a principal designer and principal contractor
Needed in writing where more than one contractor will work on the project.
-
Prepare the construction phase plan
Every project needs one before the site is set up, including single-contractor jobs.
-
Prepare and hand over the health and safety file
On projects with a principal designer, the file is prepared during the project and passed to the client at the end.
-
Keep the site safe and report incidents
Site safety duties run throughout construction, and some incidents must be reported to HSE.
