CDM CONSULTING SERVICES

arrow

CDM Regulations are health and safety rules that apply to all construction projects in the UK, including domestic, commercial, and temporary works. Commonly referred to as CDM, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations have been around since 1994, with the most recent update taking place in 2015.

What Is CDM?


CDM Regulations
exist to improve the health and safety of any construction project from start to finish. This includes the strategic planning and management of projects. Construction (Design and Management) Regulations also include the early detection of potential hazards, and ensure all potential risks are mitigated to avoid dangerous situations that could cause accidents and injuries.

Each construction project requires the appointment of a CDM Duty Holder to facilitate the correct Construction (Design and Management) implementation. In many cases, the construction project’s Principal Contractor is given this responsibility, although in some projects, a different person may be assigned to the role.

Rhino Safety proudly acts as a CDM Consultant, providing Principal Designer services, and can assist a Principal Contractor to successfully fulfil their role in ensuring adherence to the current CDM Regulations.

Hiring A CDM Consultant

Throughout a construction project, there must be a CDM Duty Holder who oversees all health and safety processes and requirements. The CDM Duty Holder can change throughout a project depending on who’s involved and what stage the work is at. The following can all be the Construction (Design and Management) Duty Holder:

  • Clients
  • Principal Contractors
  • Principal Designers
  • Designers
  • Contractors

The Principal Designer is typically the CDM Duty Holder during the pre-construction phase. This role then shifts to the Principal Contractor, who has overall control over contractors during the construction phase.

When you hire us as your CDM Consultant, we take on the role and responsibilities of the Principal Designer, or can assist a Principal Contractor if you would prefer us to act in this way.

CDM REGULATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION

Using our health and safety and CDM consultant service facilitates the creation, implementation and monitoring of compliant CDM Documentation. In addition to the standard health and safety documentation required under other regulations, CDM Regulations require additional documentation throughout various stages of the construction project, including Pre-Construction Information, Construction Phase Planning and the Health and Safety File.

Why Use A CDM Consultant?

Rhino Safety are experts in CDM consulting. Using an experienced third party makes the process quicker and easier by supporting with time consuming but crucial tasks, such as:

  • Planning – All aspects of the pre-construction phase must be meticulously planned in order to manage health and safety effectively 
  • Communication – A CDM Consultant acting as a Principal Designer ensures there is communication between all parties involved and that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities in regards to health and safety
  • Risk Assessment – Risk assessments need to be completed to identify risks and hazards, and to control them throughout the project
  • Documentation – Making sure the health and safety file is accurate and updated is an essential responsibility that helps with the mitigation of risks, and documents safety measures for future work

With over ten years of experience in health and safety, Rhino Safety can provide a team of expert consultants that can support you as the Principal Designer or can  assist a Principal Contractor. This alleviates the burden of changing CDM Duty Holders at any stage during your construction project, and allows us to provide consistency from start to finish. It also ensures Construction (Design and Management) Regulations are followed consistently at all times.
