COURSE BACKGROUND

· This 1 DAY COURSE highlights the legal duties of Clients, Design Professionals, CDM Co-ordinators and Contractors engaged in construction activities.  However, in addition to the legal obligations, the course is intended to bring to attention the moral and sociological aims of the Regulations.

· CDM 2007 shows considerable shift in responsibilities and duties to those formally required under CDM 1994.  This course will not only give a clear picture to those new to CDM, but will also detail the requirements and changes under the revised regulations, which will assist those who had a working knowledge of the old regulations.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

·        All participants to construction projects, including client representatives, professional designers, contractors and facilities managers.

SPEAKERS’ PANEL

·        The speaker for each course will be from a panel of  Richard Allen, Peter Andrews, Paul Gray and
