Every construction project, regardless of its size or complexity, needs to comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM). This means that even seemingly minor maintenance or refurbishment work, even if it doesn't involve structural changes, falls under CDM. The regulations aim to ensure health and safety throughout the construction process, from initial planning to completion.
Key points about CDM and construction projects:
Applies to all projects:
CDM 2015 applies to all construction work, including domestic projects.
No distinction between small and large:
Even if a project is small or not considered a "project" in the traditional sense, like maintenance work, CDM still applies.
Focus on safety:
The core aim of CDM is to improve health and safety in the construction industry by placing duties on those involved in the project.
Duty holders:
CDM identifies key individuals involved in the project as "duty holders" and assigns them specific responsibilities for health and safety.
Notifiable projects:
Some projects, particularly those involving more than 500 person-days of work or lasting longer than 30 working days, require notification to the Health and Safety Executive.
