CDM Co-Ordinator
When does CDM 2007 (Construction, Design and Management Regulations 2007) apply to a project?
The CDM 2007 Regulations apply to most common buildings, civil engineering and engineering construction work. You must notify the HSE of the site if the construction work is expected to either:
- last longer than 30 days; or
- involve more than 500 person days of construction work;
The HSE should be notified in writing before construction work starts; you can use the form F10. Your notification should be sent to the HSE office nearest to the proposed site.
The CDM Regulations are aimed at improving the overall management and co-ordination of health, safety and welfare throughout all stages of a construction project to reduce the large number of serious and fatal accidents and cases of ill health which happen every year in the construction industry.
The CDM Regulations place duties on all those who can contribute to the health and safety of a construction project. Duties are placed upon clients, designers and contractors.

- Provision and guidance on the development of Risk assessment
