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.

This ONE DAY advanced course is designed for those who have previously attended the Planning Supervisor training course provided by the Construction Study Centre, and for those already acting as Planning Supervisors who wish to act as CDM Co-ordinators. This course will act both as refresher training and an update on the changed legislation.

• This course will detail changes in legislation which occurred with the introduction of CDM 2007, including the revocation of the Construction (Health, Safety &Welfare) Regulations 1996 and their incorporation into the revised regulations. It also highlights the shift in emphasis and responsibilities under CDM 2007.
• The revised conditions which effect whether the full scope of CDM 2007 will be applicable to projects will be detailed.

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 vary with the type of project that is involved.

This 1 DAY COURSE highlights the legal duties of Clients, Design Professionals, CDM Co-ordinators and Contractors engaged in construction activities. However, in addition to the legal obligations, the course is intended to bring to attention the moral and sociological aims of the Regulations.

• CDM 2007 shows considerable shift in responsibilities and duties to those formally required under CDM 1994. This course will not only give a clear picture to those new to CDM, but will also detail the requirements and changes under the revised regulations, which will assist those who had a working knowledge of the old regulations.
