Message
from the President
After 13
years CDM 1994 has been revoked
together with Construction (Health,
Safety & Welfare 1996)
and other regulations either in
part or in full. In their places
we have CDM 2007.
Did the HSE have to change the
direction for CDM? I think they
had no option as too many ‘responsible’ people
were definitely not the best people
to manage the risks involved in
the projects. Too many duty holders
failed to support or encourage
a competency base or a risk culture
involving the safe management of
projects and in many cases hazards,
risk assessments and method statements
became large ‘generic’ layers
in a file gathering dust in a site
office.
The main part of health and safety
has always been common sense based
on relevant knowledge and this
was getting lost in the avalanche
of paperwork and fear of a visit
from the HSE.
I think the new regulations can
simplify the responsibilities for
duty holders but I will have to
wait and see how the clients will
respond to their new influence
over the way a project is run.
