Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) 2015: your essential guide to designer duties
This seminar will demystify the regulations and help you understand how to apply health and safety design risk management on your projects. CDM should be utilised as a collaborative tool, developing the design and construction process to enhance health and safety in the built environment, by considering design implications through reductive steps.
The session aims to cover:
- the background to the passing of the CDM legislation and its development up to today
- other relevant construction legislation of which you should be aware
- the CDM process timeline on projects
- CDM 2015 Duty Holders and their obligations
- CDM as a creative and collaborative process
- CDM as the management of risk, rather than of health and safety
- considering the hierarchy of risk
- the differences between ‘safety’ and ‘health’
- the definition of ‘Designer’ as described under CDM 2015
- understanding the Designer’s duties with regard to hazard and risk
- practical guidance in the understanding of hazards to consider in the design process
