The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM
Regulations 2007) is a revision of a major piece of legislation
within the wide portfolio of construction-related legislation. It
seeks to improve the long term health and safety performance of the
UK construction industry, with ownership of health and safety
proactively undertaken by the integrated project team.
Good design has always embraced health and safety issues and
design teams remain essential players as well as key contributors
and communicators in matters of health and safety management.
Designers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their designs
account for health and safety at all stages within the holistic
envelope of construction.
"Design Risk Management: Contribution to Health and Safety"
gives detailed guidance to construction practitioners with design
responsibility on how to identify and manage health and safety
risks, and on the design strategies to be followed. It seeks to
focus on accountability with due emphasis on the minimisation of
unnecessary bureaucracy and offers documentation trails that
provide an insight to managing risk and not paperwork. Subsequently
it offers a process by which designers can discharge their duties
in compliance with the CDM Regulations.
