Course programme

This 1 day course is intended to clarify the role of Designers under CDM 2007.

The key messages from the HSE in their CDM 2007 references are:

    if you design or specify building work, then you are a designer with new duties under CDM; competent designers eliminate hazards and reduce risks – manage the risk, not the paperwork; design for safety and health for those that build, use, maintain and demolish – its safer by design; tell others about significant risks which remain – give the right information to the right people at the right time.

This course is aimed at people who carry out planning, conceptual, feasibility or detailed design of permanent or temporary works or who dictate or influence design decisions.

It will elaborate the approach that Designers can adopt and will include short films and pictures to generate discussion on various designer issues.

The course is intended to be interactive to enable people to raise and discuss issues related to their own work as designers and the associated implementation of their duties under CDM 2007.
