Membership
The Association of CDM Co-ordinators
ensures that no individual, company
or partnership is accepted or listed
as members without confirmation of
basic competency relevant to current
health and safety requirements. The
Association strongly believes that no
creditable "competency trail" achieved
since 1995 proves incompetency and
weak links in every temporary
or permanent workplace.
