CDM Co-ordination:
Role as required by the Construction (Design & Management)
Regulations 2007.
We will work with you to manage and control the health and safety
aspects of projects enabling you to comply
with the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007.
Training:
Getting to grips with legislation is hard; its interpretation can
be even harder. The law puts great emphasis on the need for training.
It is therefore important that time devoted to training is both
rewarding and cost effective. Training is offered in the following
areas: -
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations - e.g. designers
duties and roles and responsibilities.
Safety awareness courses - specific health and safety issues relating
to individual companies e.g. fork lift tucks and manual handling.
Construction Health and Safety - systems, procedures and implementation.

Designer Assistance:
Do your designers know their duties?
Have you got systems and procedures in place that will protect you
if audited or investigated by the
(Health and Safety Executive)
HSE?
In recent audits, the HSE in the North West of England found that
a surprising proportion of designers were unaware of their duties
under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations:
- 65% of designers did not know which regulation applied to them
- 76% could not identify the principals of eliminate, reduce and
inform
- 90% of designers did not identify the requirement to provide
adequate information
- 60% were unable to identify the duty holders under CDM
- 63% were unable to identify more than three hazards found on
construction sites
This service offers advise and assistance to designers, either
by advising designers of their duties; assisting with risk assessments;
holding in-house CPD (continuing professional development) events
and updates or through the formation and implementation of company
systems and procedures that will prove compliance with the Construction
(Design & Management) Regulations if audited by the HSE.
