Customer Feedback
Why Is CDM Duty Holder Training Course Important?
Construction projects have a considerable amount of risk associated with them, and it is a legal duty to ensure it is managed according to CDM guidelines.
Duty holders must follow systems to identify any potential risks and ensure they are suitably controlled through every phase of a construction project. Effective communication and coordination strategies must be in place to ensure everyone is working together to prevent accidents and ill health.
By having a clear understanding of guidelines and responsibilities, workplace safety and risk management can be effectively carried out to mitigate hazards in construction projects.
This course is aimed at duty holders, to help them gain awareness of their roles and responsibilities on a CDM construction project.
The training provided within this course provides users with an understanding of how CDM projects work, including the roles of duty holders through all phases of the project.
