CDM Regulations Training Course

The construction industry is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous industries to work in. Annual fatality and injury rates for construction demonstrate how hazardous it can be. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, also known as CDM 2015, was introduced to keep people safe and healthy in relation to construction projects. The CDM Regulations 2015 are the overarching regulations that apply to all construction projects in Great Britain, from small renovations on residential properties to large-scale constructions of new buildings.

Failure to comply with CDM 2015 can result in criminal prosecution for duty holders. However, avoiding fines and prison sentences is not the only benefit of applying CDM 2015. It provides a complete framework for proactively controlling, managing and monitoring the risks associated with construction. This can ultimately prevent harm to anyone involved in any phase of a construction project.

This 30-minute online course is the ideal introduction to CDM 2015. It provides a comprehensive overview of the main components of CDM 2015 and is suitable for anyone involved in construction work. On successful completion, learners will be equipped with knowledge of the key elements, duty holders, notification to the HSE and important documentation. This will enable the practical application of CDM 2015 on all future construction work.
