Introduction to CDM
Background of CDM
•
Construction (Design & Management) Regulations was
established in 1994 and will be revised in April 2007 with minor
changes.
•
The purpose of CDM was to reduce accidents and fatalities by
regulating the construction process from the design to the site
management of the project.
•
The role of a Coordinator (Planning Supervisor) was created to
assist the Client in the running of the project.
•
To regulate the construction process, certain duties are imposed
on the key stakeholders such as Clients, Designers, Contractors
and Coordinators.

Introduction to CDM
CDM Duties for: Client
•
Clients must ensure only competent Designers, Contractors
and other team members are appointed for the construction
work.
•
Clients must ensure they give adequate time and resources to

the Contractors or Designers.
•
Clients must provide Designers and Contractors with projectspecific health and safety information needed to identify
hazards.
•
Clients are also to appoint a Coordinator to assist with the
Heath and Safety planning and arrangements. The
Coordinator is to be appointed after the initial design work so
they can influence the detailed design and other planning.

GUIDE-1: Concept Design Review
Planning of project location, type of building, number of
storeys and surrounding constraints
•
GUIDE-2: Detailed Design Review
Detailed architectural and structure design- determining of
risks involved with the construction methods, access and
egress and designing out the identified risks.
•

addressed in the early stage of construction to fully note the
risks involved and encompass the necessary in the design.
