These regulations place duties on all members of the project team including you the Client, and these duties MUST be undertaken.
One of the duties of you the Client for all projects that are notifiable is to appoint a CDM Co-ordinator to carry out a number of duties relating to Health & Safety. CBH Surveying Consultancy can provide a CDM Co-ordinator for projects where we are involved in other capacities or for projects where you have employed other designers and project managers.
The definition of a notifiable project is when the construction work is expected to exceed 30 days or involve more than 500 person days. Projects, which don’t fall into this category, are still subject to CDM but do not have to be notified to the Health & Safety Executive, and therefore not all of the duties apply.
We will assist and advise the Client on their duties under the regulations, as well as co-ordinating health & safety aspects of the design and collating the pre-construction information and Health & Safety File.
We have found that this role works extremely well on projects where CBH Surveying Consultancy undertake other roles such as Contract Administrator, Designer etc, because the duties can be undertaken alongside the duties of the other members of the team. Undertaking a dual role reduces the amount of people in the project team, increases efficiency and therefore reduces cost.
For further information on this subject please refer to the Advice page of our website where you will find a summary of the duties under the CDM regulations can be found on the Advice page of our website. If you find that you require further information or advice please do not hesitate to contact us.
