Overview


[center]The
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) come
into force on 6th April 2007. This Approved Code of Practice (ACOP)
provides practical guidance on complying with the duties set out in the
Regulations. It replaces the ACOP to the Construction (Design and
Management) Regulations 1994. The key aim of CDM 2007 is to integrate health and safety
into the management of the project and to encourage everyone involved
to work together to improve the planning and management of projects;
identify risks early on; target effort where it can do the most good in
terms of health
and safety; and discourage unnecessary bureaucracy. These Regulations
are intended to focus planning and management throughout construction
projects, from design concept onwards. Contents: Notice of approval;
