CDM-C Services

The application of CDM (Construction Design & Management) has changed from 6th April 2007. One of the major amendments in CDM 2007 is the change of planning supervisor to the new role of CDM Coordinator. In future all construction and demolition work above 30 days or 500 “person” days will be notifiable to the HSE.

By appointing the services of Anglia Risk Solutions Ltd as a competent CDMC we can advise the client of their duties, to help ensure the design process meets all the relevant regulations and that any building, development, project or infrastructure is suitable for the end user, with regard to long term maintenance.

With 24 years of “real” construction experience we can assist in the facilitation of this process ensuring all parties and duty holders are kept informed of key information. The aim is to deliver an efficient, on budget construction process which reduces the risk to the workforce and the surrounding environment and complies with the clients legal and moral duties.

As a client you are required amongst other things to:
• Appoint a competent CDM Coordinator at an early stage
• Ensure competent Designers are appointed
• Provide the CDM Coordinator with relevant site specific details
• Appoint a competent Principal Contractor
• Allow sufficient time for each stage of the project
• Ensure suitable welfare facilities are provided from start to finish
• Construction only to start under a detailed construction phase Health & Safety Plan

The above procedures are only applicable on projects exceeding 30 days we can still offer you competency checks and risk management to ensure best practice is maintained.

Non-Compliance Risk
The HSE will investigate possible serious breaches of Health and Safety legislation on your construction project, which could result in construction work being stopped and you having to take on additional work to rectify matters. In the most serious circumstances you may be liable for prosecution, payment of fines, closure of sites or possible imprisonment. CDM 2007 is in place to try to reduce the risks of injury and fatalities within the construction industry.
