In force since April 2007, the new CDM Regulations impose new responsibilities and requirements on architects and all parties to construction work.This reference tool for the new role of CDM Co-ordinator is written by the Association for Project Safety (APS), whose extensive experience in the field and insider's knowledge of the new CDM Regulations will prove invaluable to any practice offering CDM-C services. It is arranged so that basic services and procedures can be quickly reviewed and related to the normal flow of the CDM Co-ordinator's activities on a traditional procurement route.Published in a ring binder and supplied with a fully-searchable electronic version on CD-ROM, the guide covers: competence, resources and capability; advising and assisting the client - to manage the project, on appointments, on notifying the HSE, on the competence, resources and capability of others, to provide information, and, on the start of construction; co-ordinating the planning and preparations for project construction work; working with 'designers' on risk reduction and health and safety management; advising on the suitability and compatibility of designs; dealing with design work during construction; and, delivering a suitable Health and Safety File. Each section details what needs to be done under the headings: 'How to do it'; 'Additional guidance'; 'When other approaches are needed'; and 'When things are going wrong'.
