CDM 2015- Have you made the necessary changes?
Yesterday saw the implementation of every aspect of CDM 2015 to construction in the UK, without exception.
With the deadline to transition to the revised code of practice behind us, the new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015) came into force from the 6th April 2015, replacing the existing CDM 2007 regulations. The HSE had made transition arrangements to allow for projects which were commenced before the 6th April 2015 to update to the revised code of practice.
The HSE’s revised guidance is available for download free of charge (please click here), and is intended to help those who have duties under the regulations.
The regulations aims to improve health & safety in the industry by helping you to:
- sensibly plan the work so the risks involved are managed from start to finish
- have the right people for the right job at the right time
- cooperate and coordinate your work with others
- have the right information about the risks and how they are being managed
- communicate this information effectively to those who need to know
- consult and engage with workers about the risks and how they are being managed
