Introduction to CDMBackground of CDM

• Construction (Design & Management) Regulations was established in 1994 and will be revised in April 2007 with minor changes.

• The purpose of CDM was to reduce accidents and fatalities by regulating the construction process from the design to the site management of the project.

• The role of a Coordinator (Planning Supervisor) was created to assist the Client in the running of the project.

• To regulate the construction process, certain duties are imposed

on the key stakeholders such as Clients, Designers, Contractors and Coordinators.

Introduction to CDMCDM Duties for: Client

• Clients must ensure only competent Designers, Contractors and other team members are appointed for the construction work.

• Clients must ensure they give adequate time and resources to complete the project and this may involve consultation with the Contractors or Designers.

• Clients must provide Designers and Contractors with project-specific health and safety information needed to identify hazards.

• Clients are also to appoint a Coordinator to assist with the Heath and Safety planning and arrangements. The Coordinator is to be appointed after the initial design work so they can influence the detailed design and other planning.



Introduction to CDMCDM Duties for: Client

• Clients are not required or expected to check designs.

• Clients are not required to specify how work must be done, unless they have the expertise to assess the various options and risks involved.

• Clients are not required to plan or manage construction projects themselves or visit site to monitor or supervise or check construction work.

• Clients do not need to provide welfare facilities for those carrying out construction work.

• Clients are not required to employ third party assurance advisors to monitor health and safety standards on site or subscribe to third party competence assessment schemes.



Introduction to CDMCDM Duties for: Coordinator

• Coordinators must advise and assist clients with their duties:– to appoint competent designers and contractors,– to ensure that adequate arrangements are in place for

managing the project.

• Coordinators must notify HSE about the project.

• Coordinators must coordinate design work, planning and other preparation for construction where relevant to health and safety.

• Coordinators must locate information needed by designers and contractors and advise the client if surveys need to be commissioned to fill significant gaps.




• Coordinators must manage the flow of health and safety information between Clients, Designers and Contractors.

• Coordinators must advise the Client on the suitability of the initial construction phase plan and the arrangements made to ensure that welfare facilities are on site from the start.

• Coordinators must produce or update a relevant, user friendly, health and safety file suitable for future use at the end of the construction phase.




• Coordinators do not have to approve the appointment of Designers and Contractors although they advise Clients.

• Coordinators are not required to approve or check designs, although they have to be satisfied that the design process addresses the need to eliminate and control risks.

• Coordinators are not required to approve the Contractor’s construction phase health and safety plan, although they have to be able to advise Clients on its adequacy at the start of construction.

• Coordinators are not required to supervise the Contractor’s implementation of the construction phase health and safety plan, nor supervise or monitor the construction work



Introduction to CDMCDM Duties for: Designer

• Designers are to make sure that they are competent and adequately resourced to address the health and safety issues likely to be involved in the design.

• Designers are to check that Clients are aware of their duties.

• Designers are to ensure that the Client has appointed a coordinator and notified HSE.

• When carrying out design work, Designers are to eliminate hazards and reduce risk from remaining hazards, taking account of the information supplied by the Client.

• Designers are to provide adequate information about any significant risks associated with the design.




• Designers are to coordinate their work with that of others in order to improve the way in which risks are managed and controlled.

• Designers are to cooperate with the Coordinator, Contractor and with any other Designers as necessary for each them to comply with their duties. This includes providing any information needed for the tender or health and safety file.




• Designers are not required to take into account or provide information about unforeseeable hazards and risks.

• Designers are not required to design for possible future uses of structures that cannot reasonably be anticipated from their design brief.

• Designers are not required to specify construction methods, except where the design requires a particular construction or erection sequence.

• Designers are not require to exercise any health and safety management function over Contractors or others.

• Designers are not legally required to keep records of the process through which they achieve a safe design, but it can be useful to record why certain key decisions were made.



Introduction to CDMCDM Duties for: Contractors

• Contractors must satisfy themselves that Clients are aware of their duties, that a Coordinator has been appointed, that HSE notified before they start work and display the notification.

• Contractors must make sure that they are competent to address the health and safety issues likely to be involved in the management of the construction phase.

• Contractors must satisfy themselves that the Designers and Contractors that they engage are competent and adequately resourced.

• Contractors must ensure that the construction phase is properly planned, managed and monitored, with adequately resourced, competent site management appropriate to the risk and activity.




• Contractors must ensure that a suitable construction phase health and safety plan (‘the plan’) is:

– prepared before construction work begins– developed in discussion with, and communicated to,

contractors affected by it– implemented; and– kept up to date as the project progresses.

• Contractors must provide (copies of or access to) relevant parts of the plan and other information to contractors, including the self-employed, in time for them to plan their work.

• Contractors must liaise with the Coordinator on design carried out during the construction phase, including design by Specialist Contractors, and its implications for the plan.




• Contractors must provide the Coordinator promptly with any information relevant to the health and safety file.

• Contractors must ensure that all the workers have been provided with suitable health and safety induction, information and training.

• Contractors must ensure safe working and coordination and cooperation between Sub-Contractors.

• Contractors must ensure that the workforce is consulted about health and safety matters.

• Contractors must ensure suitable welfare facilities are provided from the start of the construction phase.

• Contractors must take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to the site.




• Contractors do not have to provide training (apart from any induction) for workers that they do not employ.

• Contractors do not have to undertake detailed supervision of the Sub-Contractor’s work.



Introduction to CDMThe Health and Safety File

A brief description of the work

Any residual hazards which remain and how they have been dealt with

Key structural principles and safe working loads for floors and roofs, particularly where these may preclude placing scaffolding or heavy machinery there.

Hazardous materials used

Information regarding the removal or dismantling of installed plant and equipment

Health and safety information about equipment provided for cleaning or maintaining the structure

The nature, location and markings of significant services, including underground cables; gas supply equipment; fire-fighting services etc.

Information and as-built drawings of the structure, its plant and equipment


Introduction to CDMThe Health and Safety File

• Prepared and maintained by the Coordinator.

• Contains information needed to allow future construction work, including cleaning, maintenance, alterations, refurbishment and demolition.

• The information should alert people of risks involve and help them carry out work safely.

Implementation of CDM

• GUIDE-1: Concept Design Review

Planning of project location, type of building, number of storeys and surrounding constraints

• GUIDE-2: Detailed Design Review

Detailed architectural and structure design- determining of risks involved with the construction methods, access and egress and designing out the identified risks.

• GUIDE-3: Maintenance & Repair Review

Maintenance and repair methods and access should be addressed in the early stage of construction to fully note the risks involved and encompass the necessary in the design.
