About CDM Awareness Training

This course provides an awareness of how to comply with the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015. It looks at vital information, including the required duty holders in a CDM project, responsibilities for each project phase and risk management obligations.

Why Is CDM Awareness Training Important?

Construction projects pose significant risks to the health and safety of workers and the general public. In 2022/23, 45 deaths were reported in the construction sector, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). This figure makes construction the most dangerous industry in Britain.

CDM Regulations establish defined roles and responsibilities at every phase of a construction project to ensure health and safety. Construction professionals must be aware of CDM and its implications for project planning and site safety.

This CDM 2015 training course covers the key concepts, responsibilities and regulations all duty holders must know, including necessary documentation and risk assessment guidance. This knowledge supports compliance and improves worker safety.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

As an employer, you must comply with CDM and understand its implications for construction operations and worker safety.

Under CDM, employers must:

  • Ensure that all employees are aware of CDM regulations and duties
  • Provide targeted CDM training for employees based on their roles and responsibilities
  • Ensure that employees carry out their tasks safely and in compliance with CDM
  • Appoint competent supervisors to oversee compliance
  • Conduct thorough risk assessments and relay potential hazards to workers
  • Communicate project-specific information to employees and contractors
  • Establish protocols for reporting and investigating incidents or concerns
