CDM REGULATIONS PROCEDURES MANUAL 3E

This Procedures Manual provides a documentation system which has been developed by a practising CDM co-ordinator for use with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.
It addresses the full range of obligations on all parties for compliance with the statutory requirements and features:
flow charts
checklists
model forms
The revised Third Edition of the Manual reflects the extensive changes to the CDM Regulations 2007, including:
the new role of CDM co-ordinator
wider and more onerous duties on clients
changes to the design process
wider requirements for competence
integration of duty holder roles
The Manual also takes account of the 2007 Approved Code of Practice. It will function as a control document for quality assurance purposes.
