The ACoP is out!
The ACoP is out and available to purchase from HSE books for £15.
So there are no more excuses, you now have all the information to prepare for CDM2007! Lets us hope they have enough printed in store for everyone as it's only 5 weeks until the regulations come into force.

CDM2007 regulations are signed!
I can confirm that the revised regulations have now been signed by the Minister.
It is perfectly normal for Regulations to form an appendix of the ACOP as those familiar with the 2001 ACOP will be aware. The Regulations can of course be sourced as a stand alone document.
The ACOP has been approved by the HSC.
There has been a very long and open consultation with the revision of these Regulations with full opportunity for all to express their views.
I have no intention to grow a beard just yet!

Concerns over possible changes in the ACoP
We all know that CDM2007 is on the horizon nevertheless some of us have a few concerns over possible changes in the ACoP. A lot of people are beginning to put together training courses, power point presentations etc. on the basis that the material that was presented to the HSC and approved and accepted by the HSC is now written in stone. We need to know that what we are preparing and delivering is consistent and true to the guidelines.
However, we now have reassurances from Andrew East at the HSE:-
"The ACoP and REGS have been agreed by CONIAC and the Commission. The ACoP is being edited for publication now. There is no intention or scope to change the contents, however where there are errors in the drafting that create inconsistencies we would welcome being informed ASAP so they can be corrected."
So it's up to all of us to report any inconsistencies we notice to ensure that the final draft is as accurate as possible.
