Draft guidance issued for CDM Regulations 2015 09 January 2015

The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) has today (9 January 2015) published draft guidance on the legal requirements in the new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015).

Subject to parliamentary approval CDM 2015, comes into force on 6 April 2015, and the new guidelines will replace the existing CDM 2007 regulations guidance.

"The guidance may be subject to change while the regulations are awaiting parliamentary approval, but we want duty holders to have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the main requirements before they come into force," states Philip White, chief inspector of construction for HSE.

"In addition, we have worked with the industry to produce guidance to assist small businesses," he continues.

"Both sets of guidance complement each other and will help anyone affected by CDM 2015 to prepare for the changes in the law."
