CDM 2015

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Nick Anderson

CDM 2015

On 6 April 2015, CDM 2007 was revoked and replaced by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015).

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) are the main set of regulations for managing the health, safety and welfare of construction projects.

CDM 2015 is subject to certain transitional arrangements, for construction projects that began before 6 April 2015 and continue beyond that date. It applies to all building and construction work and includes new build, demolition, refurbishment, extensions, conversions, repair and maintenance.

Key changes of the new CDM Regulations 2015

1. All projects must have:
  • workers with the right skills, knowledge, training and experience
  • contractors  providing appropriate supervision, instruction and information
  • a written construction phase plan
2. Project where more than one contractor is involved (domestic or non-domestic) must have 1 above plus:
  • principal designer and principal contractor must be appointed
  • a health and safety file
3. If work is scheduled to:
  • last longer than 30 working days and 
  • have more than 20 workers working simultaneously at any point in the project
  • OR exceeds 500 person days
All of 1 and 2 above plus
  • Client must notify project to HSE
The CITB have created a short video which explains the basics of the new Regulations. You can watch it here. CDM 2015
