Overview
The only role in a building contract to be created by an Act of Parliament.
An unacceptable number of accidents and deaths on building sites made the Health and Safety Executive press for Parliamentary action. The result is the Construction and Design Management Regulations of 1994 creating the role of CDM Co-ordinator.
CDM Co-ordinator
A building or element of a building, designed by A, made in a factory by B, assembled on or off site by C, delivered by D, and maintained by E, all have the same responsibility to design and manufacture safely as much as the operative installing the item on site.
