Whilst the designers are concerned to fulfil their obligations under the CDM regulations, it should also be stressed that other legislation also needs to be complied with, including the workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. These regulations impose duties to design structures which have provision.

The successful management of health and safety within a construction project depends upon site specific information, at an appropriate level of information, being generated, updated and circulated so that the right people receive the right information at the right time.

Who is this training for?

This course is aimed for the Principal Designer or Designers on any construction project. If you are these key roles, based under CDM 2015 regulations and 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 Principal Designer and Designers. Including definitions, applications and the main duties placed on these 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.

In order for The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 to apply, two criteria must apply:

1. The work must be to a structure;

2. The work must be construction.

Projects will be notified by the client to the HSE:
