CDM Health & Safety Consultancy
The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) concern occupational health, safety and welfare in construction. They place legal duties in relation to management arrangements and practical measure on a range of construction project participants, including clients, designers and contractors. The regulations replace and modify existing regulations (from 1994) with the aim of simplifying and clarifying the delivery of improved standards of health, safety and welfare, and related business benefits.
Notifiable projects require clients to appoint a competent, adequately resourced CDM Coordinator (CDMC) as a key project advisor in respect of construction health and safety risk management matters. Their main purpose is to advise and assist clients to carry out their duties; to coordinate health and safety aspects of the design work and to prepare the health and safety file. Until such time as a CDMC is appointed, the client is deemed to be undertaking that role.
3SIXTY can act in the capacity of CDM Co-ordinator pursuant to the current CDM Regulations and can provide early advice in regards to the requirement of compliance within your proposed development or refurbishment. The role of CDM co-ordinator is to provide the client with a key project advisor in respect of construction health and safety risk management matters. We ensure proper co-ordination of the health and safety aspects of the design process and facilitate good communication and cooperation between project team members and co-ordinate the preparation of the health and safety file.
