CDM Regulations (Construction Design and Management Regulations)

The Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations are UK laws that aim to improve health and safety in construction projects. They require all parties—designers, contractors, and clients—to work together to identify and manage risks from planning to completion. The goal is to ensure that construction activities are carried out safely, reducing accidents and harm to workers and the public. Key responsibilities include proper planning, providing safety information, and ensuring competent management throughout a project’s lifecycle. These regulations promote accountability and a proactive approach to health and safety on construction sites.
