The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 were introduced with the objective of improving the Health and Safety record of one of the most hazardous industries in this country. The Regulations clearly define the responsibilities of Clients, CDM Coordinator, Designers, Principal Contractor and other Contractors. Each now has an important role in planning and co-ordinating the Health and Safety aspects throughout the duration of a project and throughout the life of the resultant structures. One of the main duties of the Client is to appoint a CDM Coordinator.
The CDM Coordinator has an essential role in carrying out the requirements of these Regulations and ensuring that the Designers comply with their responsibilities.
Salus Consulting Ltd carry out the role of CDM Coordinator to assist the Client to comply with the requirements of the CDM Regulations by ensuring that the Health and Safety aspects of a project are implemented from the initial designs through to completion and maintenance of the project. We have closely monitored the development of these Regulations and through a team of senior professional staff under the leadership of Wayne Jones, can fully resource the role of CDM Coordinator.
All CDM Coordinators used within the company have many years experience of Construction techniques and have undertaken commissions throughout the country. The CDM Coordinator is an integral part of the Design team. This ensures that the fullest understanding of the Construction industry and its associated problems can be brought into the Health and Safety issues which we believe will assist the Designers in their role.
Where projects place special demands on Health and Safety this is matched by ensuring the CDM Coordinator team incorporates members with experience in these areas.
Salus Consulting as CDM Coordinator can assist the Client to comply with their requirements under the Regulations by:
- Advising and assist the client with their duties, including their duty to appoint competent designers.
- Assisting to identify the information the Client must make available under the Regulations
- Notifying the Health and Safety Executive area office of the project.
- Advising on the criteria for assessing the Designers competence and resources in Health and Safety issues.
- Coordinate Health and Safety aspects of design work and cooperate with others involved with the project (this is used to ensure cooperation between designers).
- Facilitate good communication between designers (this is used to ensure cooperation between designers). Essentially this means that the CDM-C must manage flow of information.

- Advising on the Health and Safety competence and resources of the contractors.
- Advising on the suitability of the Principal Contractors initial Construction Stage Health and Safety Plan.
