3. CDM Seminar

Date: 5 April 2001, 09:30

The CDM seminar was extremely well attended and was the most successful to date thanks to a very full agenda and excellent speakers. The delegates included strong representation from Seeboard our largest customer, and Bradford Metropolitan Council who are at the forefront in leading CDM management across the web using cdmUK.com.

We were privileged to have Stephen Taylor, from the HSE to talk to us. He was able to give us an update on the strategy and focus for the HSE in response to the appalling Health & Safety fatalities, accidents and ill health in the construction industry. He had a few questions for the delegates and asked for help in obtaining examples of good and bad practice on CDM projects.

David launched the Asbestos Register ToolKit and another new product, which Ai Solutions has developed with Wirral MBC for energy management. He reported that the company was flourishing and that the ability to be flexible in meeting customer needs was seen as a great benefit. Being small was a positive advantage!

The next seminar is October 4th and we are hoping to have another Speaker from the HSE. We are opening it to non-customers and would be pleased to hear if there are any topics that you would particularly be interested in.
