Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) came into force in Great Britain on 6 April 2007.
The new CDM 2007 Regulations are divided into 5 parts:
To view the CDM Regulations 2007:
The new CDM 2007 Regulations are supported by an Approved Code of Practice (ACoP).
Construction remains a disproportionately dangerous industry where improvements in health and safety are urgently needed. The improvements require significant and permanent changes in dutyholder attitudes and behaviour. Since the original CDM Regulations were introduced in 1994, concerns were raised that their complexity and the bureaucratic approach of many duty holders frustrated the Regulations' underlying health and safety objectives. These views were supported by an industry-wide consultation in 2002 which resulted in the decision to revise the Regulations.
The new CDM 2007 Regulations revise and bring together the CDM Regulations 1994 and the Construction (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 into a single regulatory package.
