CDM Regulations - Revisions
The proposed updates to the CDM regulations are now expected to move from the HSE's internal evaluation process to the external Consultative Document stage by the end of the year. We will keep you posted as the story unfolds. Our intention is to keep our software ahead of any changes to the regulations so that our users are adequately served.
CDM Company Self Assessment Form
The HSE have a self assessment form to help organisations assess their commitment to duties under the CDM Regulations. This is an innovative approach by the HSE and, in our view it is well worth spending a few minutes to study it. See http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/designers/content/assess.htm for more information.
