The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) are UK rules that ensure health and safety in construction projects. They require clear planning, coordination, and communication among designers, contractors, and clients to identify and manage risks from the outset. The regulations designate specific roles, like the "Principal Designer" and "Principal Contractor," to oversee safety throughout the project. The goal is to prevent accidents and injuries by making safety a priority from planning through completion, ensuring all parties understand their responsibilities and work together effectively.
