About the Course
Introduction
The Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations 2015 place specific responsibilities on duty holders, including designers and contractors, and make them accountable for the consideration and management of health and safety in construction work. This CDM Regulations course has been designed to provide learners with practical knowledge of key duty holder requirements under the new CDM Regulations.
This accreditation will provide practical guidance on how to ensure health and safety in construction and help those working in construction to understand their role (and the role of other stakeholders) so that work can be carried out collaboratively. This course explains the main risks to health and safety in construction and sets out specific requirements for a wide range of topics and hazards under CDM that apply to all construction sites and work.
Course Duration
The CDM accreditation covers two modules over a half-day course. The course includes a theory assessment.
