Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM)

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) aim to improve health and safety in construction projects in the UK. They require everyone involved—from clients to contractors—to work together to identify risks and promote safety from the project's design stage through to completion. Key responsibilities are assigned to different parties, ensuring that safety is a priority. The regulations emphasize proper planning, communication, and coordination, helping to prevent accidents and ensure a safer working environment for all those involved in or affected by construction activities.
