Designer (ACOP 2007)
115
Designers are those who have a trade or a business which
involves them in:
(a) preparing designs for construction work, including
variations. This includes preparing drawings, design
details, specifications, bills of quantities and the
specification (or prohibition) of articles and substances,
as well as all the related analysis, calculations, and
preparatory work; or
(b) arranging for their employees or other people under their
control to prepare designs relating to a structure or part of a
structure.

Designers therefore include:
(a) architects, civil and structural engineers, building
surveyors, landscape architects, other consultants,
manufacturers and design practices (of whatever discipline)
contributing to, or having overall responsibility for, any part of
the design, for example drainage engineers designing the
drainage for a new development;
(b) anyone who specifies or alters a design, or who specifies
the use of a particular method of work or material, such as a
design manager, quantity surveyor who insists on specific
material or a client who stipulates a particular layout for a new
building;

(c) building service designers, engineering practices or others
designing plant which forms part of the permanent structure
(including lifts, heating, ventilation and electrical systems), for
example a specialist provider of permanent fire
extinguishing installations;
(d) those purchasing materials where the choice has been left
open, for example those purchasing building blocks and so
deciding the weights that bricklayers must handle;
(e) contractors carrying out design work as part of their
contribution to a project, such as an engineering contractor
providing design, procurement and construction management
services;
Cont’d….

CDM 2015 (Consultation)
(f) temporary works engineers, including those designing
auxiliary structures, such as formwork, falsework, façade
retention schemes, scaffolding, and sheet piling;
(g) interior designers, including shopfitters who also develop
the design;
(h) heritage organisations who specify how work is to be done
in detail, for example providing detailed requirements to
stabilise existing structures; and
(i) those determining how buildings and structures are altered,
for example during refurbishment, where this has the potential
for partial or complete collapse.

HSE Consultation
Consultation Document CD261 issued March 2014 with
Responses submitted by 6th June 2014
1427 Responses received by HSE (considered good)
400 responses were from Entertainments Sector Campaign
524 responses were from CDM Co-ordinators
Others included clients, contractors, etc
Only 162 responses from designers
There are 39000 Architects on the ARB Register alone
add IStructE, ICE, CIBSE, RICS, CABE, CIOB takes the
tally to several 100,000 designers in construction.
In this context 162 seems to indicate a lack on
interest/engagement with CDM.

CDM Co-ordinator - 2007
CDM Co-ordinators need a sound
understanding of:
•
•
•
•
health and safety in construction work;
the design process;
the importance of co-ordination of the
design process;
an ability to identify information which
others will need to know about the design
in order to carry out their work safely.

Industry Guidance
HSE have left
Construction Industry
(CONIAC) to produce
its own guidance
documents
These are being written
now in advance of the
regs so could be at
variance with final
Regs
Legal status unsure ?
28
CDM 2015 (Consultation)
Transitional Arrangements – CDM Co-ordinator
The new regulations require clients to
appoint the Principal Designer as soon as
practicable.
So what happens to existing CDM-C
Appointments …. ?
HSE have indicated there will be a 6 month
Transition Period (for projects in the
Construction Phase).

Individual
Responsibility
Do not be
distracted by a
few irresponsible
operatives….
….designers can
make a difference
to the safety and
health of building
workers.
46
CDM 2015 (Consultation)
Individual Responsibility
taking construction in its widest sense to
include all those who build, clean, repair,
maintain, demolish and now also use our
buildings as a workplace - we may touch the
lives of many thousands of people.
We have a duty to all of those.
