Understanding the CDM Regulations: A practical guide for duty-holders
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) aim to improve health and safety in construction by ensuring risks are identified and managed from a project’s start to its completion. They assign clear responsibilities to clients, designers and contractors to plan, coordinate and control work effectively, creating safer environments and reducing harm.
