Construction Training Courses for
Construction & Property Professionals...

Courses Background:

The CDM Regulations 2007 came into effect on the 6th of April 2007 and replaced both the CDM Regulations 1994 and the Construction (Health, Safety &Welfare) Regulations 1996.

If you are about to alter or extend a building or structure, thinking of putting up a new one or demolishing an old one, then the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007 place a number of specific duties on you. The extent of these duties varies with the type of project that is involved - and in many case you will need an adviser available to help you deal with these. On larger 'notifable' projects you are required to appoint a CDM Co-ordinator before significant detailed design work begins so they can advise and assist you with your duties.

COURSE BACKGROUND
• This 3 DAY COURSE is designed to benefit those with professional and managerial construction experience in understanding what is required of the Coordinator and how this may be effectively achieved.

It will also detail the responsibilities placed on others involved in the design and management of construction projects including the client. The CDM Co-ordinator can be regarded as the “Client’s Friend”, who will assist the Client in discharging his responsibilities.
• The course will include workshop sessions during which delegates will be able to carry out syndicate exercises, putting into practice the issues discussed on the course. A comprehensive work book will be provided for use on the course and for future reference.
• On previous courses delegates have reflected the full spectrum of organisations operating within the construction and allied industries.
