CDM 2007: a guide for clients and their advisors [146583]

  £45.00
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 came into effect in April 2007. CDM 2007 now applies to all construction projects regardless of their size or duration. The Regulations change the role and duties of several key duty holders, including clients, who are now required to take a more active role in discharging their duties from the initial concept stage of a project. CDM 2007 introduces the role of CDM co-ordinator for notifiable projects. The CDM-C is expected to provide advice and assistance to clients in ensuring that suitable arrangements are in place for managing health and safety on construction projects. Whether advising clients on budgets, tenders or whole life cycle costing, preparing specifications and drawings, or acting as project managers or employer’s agent, construction professionals will need to know how the new CDM Regulations affect them and their clients. This practical guide covers: The legislative framework; Setting the scene; CDM 2007 at a glance; The client; Getting a project started; Buying the construction work; Competence and resources; Commencing the construction phase; Provision of information; The health and safety file; Construction-related legislation; Appendices (including useful checklists and sources of information). This book is intended for clients, their advisors and those undertaking the role of CDM co-ordinator. It provides practical advice and guidance on the many changes introduced by the new Regulations. It will also prove invaluable to students and those seeking to establish their competence to deal with the new Regulations. Tony Baker, the author is a director of A & T Consultants Limited, an independent firm of risk management consultants providing advice to construction clients and contractors.
