Structured
BakerHicks provides tailored and experienced CDM consultancy services to ensure clients meet all the health and safety obligations for their construction project.
Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, clients have a duty to ensure that health and safety is given the highest priority during the planning and execution stages of all building works.
Early in the pre-construction phase of a project, the client must appoint a “Principal Designer” to coordinate planning and design activities and ensure that steps are taken in design to avoid hazards and reduce risks.
At the same time, the client must appoint a “Principal Contractor” to manage construction work and ensure safe working in relation to workers, the public and others.
