CDM Regs

[Mark Cattell]

cdm does not apply until 500 hours or 30 days reached on site

 

Thats the current status, covered CDM last week on a course...

 

supposed to change but not sure when

 

Also you can call and get advise from the HSE

Try this...... The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 No. 320

Your all correct. CDM was modified to incorporate more responsibility to the designer, i.e designing a build, structure etc that can not only be built safely but also maitained safely. From our point of view as a contrator/sub contractor we still have a duty of care weather the job is notifieable or not (500 man hrs etc). If you look at the regs they cover such things as welfare (hse big on that) LOLER, PUWER, WAHR etc etc. These things you should be incorporating into your buisness, weather 1 man or 50 men/women (oh aren't i pc). It doesent have to mean a whole heap of paper work, but a basic set of forms filled in weekly/monthly can protect you if you have any h&s issues. Hope this helps

just to cheer you all up, have an email relating to tree work, on one site for a few weeks, from the HSE saying that as the work is not related to construction in any way cdm regs do not apply.
