A CDM Co-ordinator has to be appointed by the client if a project lasts more than 30 days or involves more than 500 person days of work. But, unlike the Planning Supervisor, is required to advise and assist the client on how to fulfill their duties, especially on whether other duty-holders´ arrangements are adequate. At the most, only the initial design work for the job should have been completed before the position is filled.
Since the inception of the 1994 CDM regulations and the new regulations in April 2007, WPPM have supported many clients to ensure compliance with the legislation. WPPM´s involvement with clients is flexible and multi-faceted. We can provide CDM support as a standalone role, such as CDM Coordinator on internal projects. Alternatively the role of principal contractor, CDM Coordinator and designer can be represented within a turnkey project or alliance scenario.
WPPM are active in the interpretation and development of the legislation via our role as a member of the CDM Duty Holders Support Group and our advice on procedural and documentation issues is comprehensive and well developed. This covers areas such as:
- Support on the development of Risk assessment
- Development of Health and Safety Plans and Files
- Compliance and reporting
- Auditing of the Construction Site
- Chairing and Supporting the Design Risk Assessments Process
