    Health and safety in construction

    The importance of CDM, Construction Design and Management 2015 Regulations

    Highlighting the significance of health and safety in construction, the CDM Regulations 2015 are a commitment to ensuring people’s safety throughout your project's lifecycle. These regulations prioritise health and safety planning from the project's inception through design, construction, and subsequent maintenance.

    At the core of CDM is the overarching objective to minimise harm to those involved in constructing, using, and maintaining structures. This is accomplished through strategic planning and project management, early identification of potential hazards during the design phase, clear communication of risks to project stakeholders, and cooperation and coordination among all parties.
