Additional Features

CDM ToolKit CS™ Cloud allows any number of users to initiate project detail, edit template based documents and add a multiplicity of attachments for the management of the CDM process including the provision of the Notification (Form 10), Pre-Construction Information, Construction Phase Plan, and Health & Safety File. All documents and reports can be formatted as required to meet corporate style requirements.

Along with the individual Features described here, the following features are common across our software.

During the lifetime of a structure (such as a School, Bridge, etc), many CDM Projects may be carried out.

To simplify the management of the Health & Safety File under the CDM Regulations 2015, projects can be grouped within individual structures, providing a single Health & Safety File across related projects.

Competence is another issue central to the CDM regulations. The HSE have been un-prescriptive in what they require apart from the basic need for competence in skills knowledge, ability, resources and systems.

CDM ToolKit CS™ Cloud gives users the opportunity to not only use this approach but to enhance it with their own assessments. These can be in any format and attached as documents if required.

Competence can be monitored with review dates and reminders which are part of the dashboards. This is to ensure that competence issues are kept up to date and that the organisation's liability in this regard is minimised.

Fundamentally, ToolKit CS™ is a database; not just a document management system with an excellent Knowledge Centre. This means that users can, with the help of our powerful search engine, research their ToolKit™ database to answer their day to day CDM management needs.

The search engine can be set to search for documents, project, site or structure data, competence records, or simply search the knowledge base for relevant information, on duties, hazard related topics and so on. This puts significant 'power' in front of users at the touch of a button, saving time, energy and stress by resolving issues quickly and efficiently from a single point of reference; ToolKit CS™ Cloud.

Risk assessment is central to the CDM process. CDM ToolKit CS™ Cloud includes a basic Risk Assessment module backed by the knowledge centre to help users through the hazard and risk identification and assessment process in a structured way.

Alternatively, single flat forms can be set up as templates or copied in from external sources as required.

CDM ToolKit CS™ Cloud includes extensive communications modules including actions/notes and a letters module with mail merge facilities plus the ability to send emails to project members simply and fully audited.

Messaging includes notifications and a project log, giving users ample tools to allow them to manage their communications effectively from anywhere within ToolKit™ Cloud.

Users can be given permission to access, read and edit all data within ToolKit CS™ Cloud, or just those projects that they work on. Set up correctly, the system can be run so that a small group of internal personnel maintain the database and a large group of external personnel access the data on a read only or need to know basis.

A major requirement of a management system is the provision of an audit trail so that past activities are traceable. ToolKit CS™ Cloud has been designed around this principle. All system administrators can access the audit trail whenever required.
