HSE has today opened a 10-week consultation on proposals to replace the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007).
The revision of CDM 2007 aims to deliver a substantially simpler set of regulations that are easier to understand and comply with, but which retain vital safety protection.
Key changes being proposed include:
- replacement of the CDM co-ordinator role with a principal designer role within the project team;
- introducing a duty on information, instruction, training and supervision to replace the duty to assess competence;
- removal of the domestic client exemption and transfer of these limited duties to the contractor/designer; and
- replacement of the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) with tailored guidance.
None of the proposals on which HSE plans to consult are set in stone: - we want to hear from those affected to help shape the final regulations.

The consultation opens on 31 March 2014 and closes on 6 June 2014
