Providing Feedback on CDM2007, Autumn 2010
Frontline has been commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to evaluate the impact of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM2007) on the construction industry in Great Britain.
CDM 2007 came into force on 6 April 2007. The key objectives of CDM 2007 are:
1. Simplifying the Regulations to improve clarity – so making it easier for duty holders to know what is expected of them
2. Maximising their flexibility – to fit with the vast range of contractual arrangements in the industry
3. Making their focus planning and management, rather than the plan and other paperwork – to emphasise active management and minimise bureaucracy
4. Strengthening the requirements regarding co-ordination and co-operation, particularly between designers and contractors – to encourage more integration
5. Simplifying the assessment of competence (both for organisations and individuals) – to help raise standards and reduce bureaucracy.
We will be evaluating whether those objectives have been met. As part of this evaluation, we are seeking the views of a range of people within the construction industry.
From the 28th September 2010 to 22nd October 2010, Frontline is hosting:
• 8 open forums in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Uttoxeter, Cardiff, Exeter, Surrey and Kent to get a broad range of views from large audiences
• 3 structured workshops in Glasgow, Manchester and London to get detailed views from a small number of duty holders
If you are interested in attending one of these events, please register online by following the link below or telephone Julia Chim or Zoe Awty at Frontline on 01698 464140.
