Any uncertainty as to who is the Client should be resolved by considering who:

Ultimately decides what is to be constructed, where, when and by whom;

or

commissions the design and construction work (the employer in contract terminology);

or

initiates the work;

or

is at the head of the procurement chain;

or

Whoever appoints the principal contractor and the principal designer.

Who is this training for?

This course is aimed at the Client of any construction project, this is a key role under CDM 2015 regulations. If you are unsure of what you have comply with then this course will cover these aspects and much more.

What does the course cover?

An outline of the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 for the Client. Including definitions, applications and the main duties placed on the key roles.

What is the benefit to your business?

If your organisation performs any of the duties under the Construction (Design and management) Regulations 2015, persons performing these duties on your behalf need to understand and appreciate the duties placed upon them. Even if persons such as managers and procurement do not directly perform these duties they need to have an understanding of the requirements.

The “Client” is the person or organisation who wants the construction work done and this does not depend on whoever is funding the project.

The CDM Regulations place responsibilities for managing the health and safety of a construction project on three main duty holders. The Client has overall responsibility for the successful management of the project and is supported by the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor in different phases of the project.
