The 2007 revision brings together the Construction (Design and Management) 1994 and Construction (Health, Safety & Welfare) 1996 Regulations.
The key aim of CDM 2007 is to integrate health, safety and welfare into the management of the project and to encourage everyone involved to work together as an integrated team to, amongst other things, identify and eliminate hazards early and improve planning and management of projects from the very start.
This Construction Briefing gives readers an overview of the CDM 2007 regulations, with a particular focus on what they achieve, and why a revision was necessary.
This sheet also explains the differing technical requirements between the revised edition and its 1994 counterpart and the implementation dates and the arrangements made to help ease the transition.
