The New CDM 2007 Regulations which came into force back in April 2007 were intended to simplify the management of major building work and large refurbishment projects and the issues involved with their implementation. The new regulations have now replaced the familiar Construction (Design and Management Regulations) 1994 and the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996, however, our clients and business partners made us aware that many of the stake holders within the industry do not fully understand the changes the regulations have imposed on the separate duty holders.
Being a proactive organization, Linbrook Services Ltd decided to run a series of half-day open discussions entitled CDM 2007 Forum targeted at clients and partners involved with Large Decent Home Projects and/or Major Works Programmes within the construction industry. Lead by Linbrook’s highly qualified Health, Safety, Quality and Environment Manager the Forum provided an overview of the New Regulations highlighting good practices associated with each of the five new roles they identify.
• Client
• Principal Contractor
• CDM Co-ordinator (previously known as Planning Supervisor)
• Designer
• Contractor (Sub-contractors)
The Forum will also cover issues of competency and training and qualify attendees for A CPD record of attendance
