Everyone controlling building site work has health and safety responsibilities. Checking that working conditions are healthy and safe before work begins, and ensuring that the proposed work is not going to put others at risk, requires planning and organisation. This applies whatever the size of the site.

This occupational safety training course provides delegates with an understanding of the Construction, Design and Management Regulations 2007. It offers guidance on planning and designing for health and safety within construction projects and the roles and responsibilities encompassed within the CDM Regulations.

What are the learning outcomes?

  • A thorough understanding of the CDM Regulations
  • The ability to recognise the consequences of not managing safety within construction and design activities
  • An understanding of the importance of planning for and designing for health and safety within construction projects
  • The ability to offer guidance on a variety of roles and responsibilities encompassed within the CDM Regulations
  • How to apply knowledge to a typical CDM project, gained via a workshop-based activity.

Course summary:

  • Legal requirements as outlined within the CDM regulations
