The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 place a number of specific duties on you the Client. The Regulations recognise that the Client holds the power to influence and control those engaged or appointed on a project and, therefore, the ultimate responsibility for the achievement of a safe project is in the hands of the client.
There are duties for the Client that apply to ALL projects and additional duties that apply to Notifiable Projects. This course reflects best practice for Clients who wish to evaluate their current CDM management arrangements and make appropriate changes.
It is worth noting that the HSE may treat the industry guidance, followed in this course, as an established standard.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at Clients who want to understand and be able to discuss the implications of the Regulations on them as Clients (as defined under CDM2007).
