CDM Co-ordinator under the revised Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
Since their introduction in 1994, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations have served the purpose of reducing risks to health and safety during construction, maintenance and demolition of structures.
In order to provide greater focus to the Regulations, changes were made in 2007, and clients have to appoint a CDM Co-ordinator to all significant projects. The CDM-C’s duties are more extensive than those of the original Planning Supervisor but the two roles are essentially similar.
The role of Co-ordinator should only be undertaken by trained and experienced staff and for larger and more complex projects, more highly qualified staff are required by law. All Hannah-Reed offices employ suitable staff.
We endeavour to bring a practical, positive approach to the issue of safety in design and promote pro-active consideration of risk.
Our engineers routinely prepare Design Risk Assessments to identify potential hazards and all staff who visit construction sites, hold valid CSCS ID cards (Construction Skills Certification Scheme).
