CDM Regulations

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994, generally known as the CDM Regulations, came into force on 31 March 1995. An approved code of practice was also published in 1995 and updated in 2002. [Pg.28]

The client has specific duties under the CDM Regulations, one of which is to appoint a planning supervisor and a principal contractor. The client must be reasonably satisfied with the competence of these appointees and with the adequacy of resources allocated by the appointees to perform their duties. The client must provide health and safety information about the project, not permit construction work to start until an adequate construction health and safety plan is available, and hold the health and safety file and make it available to others. The client must also issue a notification of the project using Form FIO. [Pg.29]

Titles that provide guidance on the CDM Regulations are listed in the References, in Chapter 9 and Appendices 2 and 3. Particularly relevant guidance is provided in HSE information sheet 39, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994. For the role of the client, view the HSE web site at www.hse.gov.uk/pubns. [Pg.29]

A key feature of the CDM regulations and other Health and Safety legislation is the requirement for competent persons to be appointed. It is important to note that competency within design, construction, cleaning or demolition of land-based works may not mean that they are competent to work on coastal and maritime projects. [Pg.29]

Undertake a risk assessment to assess the safest time of year to construct the work. There may often be a conflict between the safest time to carry out the construction and other issues, such as allowing access to the site for tourism and pleasure during the summer periods or environmental issues such as bird migration periods. The CDM regulations require the designer to balance a number of issues including environmental, cost and safety considerations. [Pg.74]

This chapter is about managers in construction organizations, setting out ciear responsibiiities and iines of communications for everyone in the enterprise. The chapter also covers the legal responsibilities that exist between duty holders under the CDM Regulations between people who control premises and those who use them between contractors and those who hire them and the duties of suppliers, manufacturers and designers of articles and substances for use at work. [Pg.31]

The principles of cooperation, coordination and communication between organizations underpin the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and the CDM Regulations, explained next. See later section 3.11 on joint occupation of premises. For more information on the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, read the summary in Chapter 20. [Pg.39]

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) SIN. 1541 was made on 7 June 2005. This chapter has been written on the assumption that the Order will be in force in October 2006. A summary of the Order has been included in Chapter 20. The Fire Precautions Act 1971 is repealed and The Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 are revoked by the Order. The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 are to be taken within the revised CDM regulations in April 2007. The five regulations in CHSW are likely to be removed. [Pg.253]

If work to be carried out is part of a larger project which attracts the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) 1994 (Note The 1994 CDM Regulations are being revised), the health and safety plan prepared by the planning supervisor should contain information on whether the materials contain asbestos and what type they are. [Pg.388]

Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations 1994 and Amendment Regulations 2000... [Pg.399]

Apart from the above exceptions, the CDM Regulations apply to all design work carried out for construction purposes (including demolition and dismantling). [Pg.400]

The current CDM Regulations require clients and others to appoint competent PSs, designers, PCs and contractors. While this principle is generally accepted, the common view is that the arrangements adopted by most clients (and other CDM duty holders) do not ensure competence. Instead, they have tended to become bureaucratic form filling exercises. [Pg.405]

The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers all premises which should include construction sites. At the time of going to press there was some confusion about whether the fire sections of the CHSW would be retained in the revised CDM Regulations. It is assumed that they will be reworked to avoid some overlapping of responsibilities between the HSE and Local Fire and Rescue Authorities. The sections cover the following issues. [Pg.414]

The constructor will be required to provide a site safety manual which will address, for example, fire protection, accident reporting and analysis, work planning and training of construction personnel. The manual will also include what constitutes an environmental impact statement for the plant construction. Safety audits and inspections will be undertaken during construction. The emphasis will be on a leading indicator approach to the management of safety. The selected constmctor will comply with the CDM regulations (Reference 9.9). [Pg.402]

The requirements of the CDM regulations (Reference 9.9) during commissioning will be met, including the appropriate handover of the plant from the constructor to the operator. [Pg.402]

So far as the electrical subcontractor is concerned, if the installation is designed to comply with the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and in such a manner as to minimise the risks entailed in its construction and subsequent maintenance, it will be likely to be in compliance with the CDM Regulations. It is important, however, that the contractor cooperates fully with the other CDM duty holders and that he employs staff who are competent both in terms of the Electricity at Work... [Pg.103]

Regulations and the CDM Regulations. In this respect he has to cooperate with other designers and the planning supervisor. One obvious requirement is to ensure safe access to those parts of the installation that require periodic attention. In his role as a subcontractor, he has to provide information for incorporation in the health and safety plan and health and safety file, cooperate with the principal contractor and ensure that his employees are properly briefed on health and safety relevant to the site. Where the electrical contractor is the only contractor, such as may occur for a rewiring project, he becomes the principal contractor and has to shoulder the relevant responsibilities. [Pg.104]

Section 1 - General Requirements - is about the safety demands of Chapter 13 and some of the relevant legislation. It cites, however, only the Electricity at Work Regulations and the CDM Regulations. Attention is drawn to the responsibilities for safety of the designer, erector, maintainer and user. [Pg.165]

The Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations require the installation designer to cooperate with other designers, such as the architect, the planning supervisor and chent, to ensure that the installation will be safe both initially and subsequently as it is altered to suit the various phases of the construction work. This entails a consideration of the risks and a determination of the means to be used to minimise them. When the site work begins, the electrical contractor responsible for the temporary installation has to plan his work so that it can be done safely. [Pg.181]

It is more difficult to avoid electrical safety problems on alteration, extension and refurbishment work if the existing installation has to be kept energised. Adequate safety rules and work planning are not only legally required to comply with the CDM Regulations but also are essential if the hazards of live working are to be contained. The effort is usually economically worthwhile, apart from the safety gain. [Pg.190]
