The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 are the main health and safety legislation covering construction work. The key aims of CDM 2007 are to integrate health and safety into the management of building projects from the earliest stages and to encourage everyone involved to work together to improve the planning and management.
The regulations include various requirements, one of which is a legal obligation for clients to appoint a CDM Co-ordinator for most building projects. This is a role that Surveying Solutions frequently fulfill on simple and complex projects and involves working at all stages of a project to provide advice on health and safety issues as well as to make sure specific duties under the regulations are carried out.
