CDM Regs for Designers

The new, Construction Design Management (CDM) Regulations Part 4 came into force on the 6th of April 2007. They revised and brought together the existing CDM Regulations of 1994 and the Construction (Health Safety and Welfare) (CHSW) Regulations 1996, into a single regulatory package. These CDM Regulations include new amendments and impose increased duties on clients, designers, consultants and contractors. This short online CPD training course will outline the legal framework under Construction Design Management and describe its practical application specifically in relation to designers.
