The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM2015) received Parliamentary approval on 29th January 2015, and came into force on 6th April 2015. There are questions that must be asked of construction client organisations and persons such as facilities managers including; are you ready for the changes, and is CDM2015 applicable to facilities management?
The aim of the CDM2015 Regulations is to make health and safety an essential and integral part of the planning and management of projects and to make sure that everyone works together to reduce the risk to the health and safety of those who work on the structure, who may be affected by these works, or who will use it once it’s completed. The regulations are key to any project, and here we answer some of the most asked questions and advise what clients need to do to be compliant, along with answering the challenges for facility managers specifically.
