Topics covered
New Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
Revisions to the Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations (1994) (CDM 94) are expected to
come in to force in April 2007.
Construction remains a disproportionately dangerous industry where improvements in health and safety are
urgently needed. The improvements require significant and permanent changes in dutyholder attitudes and
behaviour.
Since CDM 94 was introduced in 1995, concerns have been raised that their complexity, and the bureaucratic
approach of many duty holders, frustrate the Regulations’ underlying health and safety objectives.
These views were supported by an industry-wide consultation in 2002, resulting in HSC’s decision to revise the
Regulations.
The new, simplified Regulations (CDM 2007) will revise and bring together the existing CDM 1994 and the Construction
(Health Safety and Welfare) (CHSW) Regulations 1996 into a single regulatory package. They will be
supported by an Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) and industry-approved guidance. To give construction
and design professionals time to plan and prepare for the regulatory changes, the ACoP will be available in
January 2007, three months before the Regulations come into force.
CDM 2007 offers an opportunity for a step change in health and safety performance and will be used to reemphasise
the health, safety and broader business benefits of a well-managed and co-ordinated approach
to the management of health and safety in construction.
