Construction (Design and Management)

Construction (Design and Management)

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007, often referred to as CDM, are important regulations in the construction industry in the United Kingdom introduced by the Health and Safety Executive's Construction Division. The regulations aim to improve safety in the construction industry, which employs over two million people in the UK.

On large projects, a person is appointed as the CDM co-ordinator, with overall responsibility for compliance with CDM. There is a general expectation by the HSE that all parties involved in a project are expected to co-operate and co-ordinate with others.

The CDM regulations are divided into five parts:

  • Part 1 deals with the application of the Regulations and definitions.
  • Part 2 covers general duties that apply to all construction projects, including the duties of clients, designers and contractors.
  • Part 3 contains additional duties that only apply to notifiable construction projects
  • Part 4 contains practical requirements that apply to all construction sites, including specific instructions for areas such as demolition, vehicle movements and emergency procedures.
  • Part 5 contains the transitional arrangements and revocations.

Notifiable projects

Notifiable projects are those likely to last more than 30 days, those likely to involve more than 500 person-days of construction work, and any works involving demolition. The HSE must be notified of these projects, by using an F10 form. Information required in the notification includes:

  • Description of the project and the work required
  • Contact details for the client, CDM co-ordinator and principal contractor
  • Details of start date and planned duration of the work

Previous legislation

The 2007 CDM regulations revise and bring together the CDM Regulations 1994 and the Construction (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 into a single regulatory package.
