CDM Co-ordinators
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM) require that on certain building projects the client appoints a competent CDM Co-ordinator to plan, co-ordinate and manage Health & Safety throughout all stages of the project.
The 'trigger' which determines a project's incorporation into the CDM Regulations is whether it is:-
- The construction work will take more than 30 days, or
- Will involve more than 500 person days of construction.
As a minimum requirement of the regulations a Pre-Construction Information file is required, certification is required to be made to The Health & Safety Executive, and upon completion of the project a Health & Safety File for the work is required to be produced and held by the client.
