Understanding CDM Regulations - 1  Day

The new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) came into force in April 2007 and replaced the 1994 Regulations. This course explains the key aspects of the CDM Regulations including the legal duties and roles of everyone involved in a construction project.  It will help ensure that projects are properly planned and safety completed, to specification, on time and budget whilst minimising disruption.  It will help you understand the main requirements and identify when the CDM Regulations apply, and the roles of the duty holders.  It will also explain the importance of the pre-construction information.
