CDM Regulations Training
Our CDM Regulations Training will guide you through everything that you need to keep yourself, and others, safe when it comes to construction design and management. This CPD Accredited & IOSH Approved course will guide you towards compliance with the current legislation.
CDM stands for Construction Design and Management. The CDM Regulations were introduced in 2015, putting specific responsibilities on duty holders, including roles such as designers and contractors. The regulations make them accountable for the management of Health & Safety on construction sites.
In the UK, the construction industry accounts for around 30% of all workplace fatalities and over 64,000 workplace injuries every year. There are a number of factors which make construction so risky – dangerous equipment, accessories and materials, people working at height, the need for large and heavy machinery and vehicles – but when you combine this with the fact that worksites tend to be filled with many different people, all working on different tasks, you can see how there’s room for so many accidents to happen.
The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations (CDM) aim to make construction projects safer – from start to finish, and beyond. They do this by creating roles and responsibilities for key duty holders involved in a project, whose job it is to manage Health & Safety protocols, ensuring that they are both established and followed by everyone.
We offer a range of construction specific courses including LOLER, PUWER, Working at Height and Ladder Safety Training. Take a look at our Construction Health & Safety Courses to see more!
