Programme > Venue > Terms & Conditions > Booking Form
Q. Do you commission or undertake construction works?
A. Yes - The new regulations will apply to you from April.
These regulations will have a significant impact on all those involved in construction, requiring them to update their health and safety management arrangements to ensure that they have a fully integrated approach. The regulations, which update the existing CDM regime, will impact anyone concerned with the design, construction, commissioning, maintenance and demolition of buildings and structures.
Private and public sector organisations, designers and contractors, as well as planning supervisors, must now work even more closely together to ensure that health and safety management issues are addressed effectively throughout all phases of any project.
This briefing will be relevant to anyone concerned with construction health and safety, including:
-
Safety advisors / managers and consultants
- Local authority planning managers and co-ordinators
- Regeneration managers and co-ordinators
- Estate managers
- Managing directors
- Contractors
- Site managers
- Facility managers
- Architects and designers
- Trades union officers
- Commissioners/specifiers of construction work
This essential briefing is designed to update duty holders and offer guidance on how to comply with the regulations and avoid enforcement action.
- What are the changes and how will they affect you?
- Practical implementation of the new regulations
- What HSE inspectors will be looking for and their strategy for enforcing breaches of the enhanced regulations.

Within a year she became the Chief Safety Officer and had the pleasure of working with a dynamic corporate management team who embraced health and safety. With the introduction of many new systems Hull City Council became one of the top performing councils where Eve stayed for eight years.
