CDM2007 Client Duties Training Course

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).

Preparation

No preparation is required, though delegates may find it advantageous to download and print off copies of the new Regulations and associated Industry Guidance Notes for the Client’s role, available at:

Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2007/uksi_20070320_en_1

CDM2007 Guidance for Clients http://www.cskills.org/supportbusiness/healthsafety/ cdmregs/guidance/Copy_3_of_index.aspx

Materials

A copy of the PowerPoint slides is made available to every delegate after the course.

The aim of the Client Duties Training course is to provide an introduction to the new and changed duties under CDM2007.

By the end of the course delegates will:

  • Have on overview of the new CDM2007 Regulations with particular emphasis on the Client’s Duties.
  • Be aware of the scope and nature of the duties attaching to each of the roles.
  • Be able to assess the need for reviewing their current CDM Management procedures.

It must be emphasised that the Clients’ course provides an introduction only and is not sufficient in itself to ensure you are able to fully comply with all aspects of the new legislation.

The course covers the following topics:

  • Introduction to CDM2007 Regulations.
  • Client duties.
  • Competence criteria.
  • Providing information.
  • CDM Co-ordinator duties.
  • Designer duties.
  • Principal Contractor duties.
  • Contractor duties.

The course typically requires three hours. Questions are encouraged throughout the course, which may result in some time variation.
