CDM Training Courses

Prices start From £375 + VAT

It is vital that organisations and individuals involved in construction projects know their precise legal duties and responsibilities under the regulations in order to ensure that they are not held criminally liable for any failures that may arise as a result of their ignorance. The course ‘CDM Awareness’ is designed to make candidates aware of the requirements, roles and responsibilities under the regulations, together with learning when they apply to construction projects. The course combines teaching, videos and interactive exercises to ensure that it is both informative and interesting to candidates.

This 2 day course has been developed to provide delegates with an update of their knowledge of Health and Safety issues within the construction industry, in addition to a good understanding of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, incorporating the changes introduced by the 2007 Regulations.

The first day of the course is therefore devoted to general construction related Health and Safety requirements and practices, including risk assessments, work at height and accident prevention. The second is devoted entirely to the CDM Regulations and the roles and responsibilities of the Client, Designer, CDM Coordinator, Principal Contractor and Sub-Contractors, together with the contents of Health and Safety Plans and Files.

The 2 day version is designed for people who also require background knowledge in general health and safety issues including preparing and analysing risk assessments and method statements for construction work.
