Many building sites, including small works, are covered by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM), which are enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The purpose of CDM is to ensure that health and safety issues are co-ordinated and managed throughout all stages of a construction project in order to reduce accidents and ill health. Where CDM applies, you will have legal duties to discharge which are enforceable in a court of law. A Planning Supervisor (CDM Co-ordinator) is the key adviser to the client and has responsibility for co-ordinating the health and safety aspects of design, notification of the project to the HSE, preparing the relevant Health & Safety Information and Health & Safety Construction Plans and delivering the Health & Safety File to the client prior to practical completion.
