In 1994 the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM Regs) were introduced to implement the Temporary or Mobile Construction Sites Directive (TMCS) (1992/57 EEC). Further revisions were made in 1998 and 2007. This presentation covers the 2015 CDM revisions.
Topics covered include managing risks by applying the general principles of prevention; appointing the right people and organisations at the appropriate time; making sure everyone has the information, instruction, training and supervision they need to carry out their jobs in a way that secures health and safety; how duty holders should co-operate and communicate with one another and coordinate their work, and; consulting workers and engaging with them to promote and develop effective measures to secure health, safety and welfare.
