CDM Regulations
CDM regulations are health and safety rules that apply to all construction projects in the UK; domestic, commercial, and temporary works. Commonly referred to as CDM, Construction (Design and Management) regulations have been around since 1994, with the most recent update taking place in 2015.
Why Appoint Rhino Safety To Handle Construction (Design And Management) Regulations?
A CDM Dutyholder will oversee the health and safety processes and requirements throughout a project, but the CDM Dutyholder can change throughout a project depending on who’s involved and what stage the work is at. The following can all be Construction (Design and Management) Dutyholder:
- Clients
- Principal Contractors
- Principal Designers
- Designers
- Contractors
The Principal Designer is typically the CDM Dutyholder during the pre-construction phase. This role then shifts to the Principal Contractor, who has overall control over contractors during the construction phase.
Rhino Safety’s team of expert consultants utilises over ten years of experience and can assist you by being appointed the Principal Designer or assisting a Principal Contractor. This alleviates the burden of changing CDM Dutyholders at any stage during your construction project, and allows us to provide consistency from start to finish. This ensures Construction (Design and Management) regulations are followed consistently at all times.
Our health and safety consultants also facilitate the creation, implementation and monitoring of compliant CDM Documentation. In addition to the standard health and safety documentation required under other regulations, CDM Regulations require additional documentation throughout various stages of the construction project. These include:
- Pre-Construction Information
- Construction Phase Plan
- Health and Safety File
