Health and Safety Executive

CDM 2007 - update

CONIAC – 20 June 2012

Considerations and constraints

• Simplification

• Small/Medium sites

• Under-implementation

• Government policy on regulation– “copy out”– one in one out

Principles

• Improvement of health and safety outcomes

• Retention of technical standards

• Workable, comprehensible package – getting the framework right

• Consider case for retaining requirements going beyond the Directive

Considerations

• Under-implementation– Trigger point for appointment of co-

ordinators – ‘two or more contractors’– Domestic client issue

Considerations

• Going beyond the Directive– Competence – Co-ordinator – Designers– Notification threshold

• Client responsibilities

Considerations

• Approved Code of Practice– Retain– Reduce– Remove

• Provision of suitable guidance

Considerations

• Industry engagement– Through CONIAC– Bilateral discussions– ‘panel’ meeting– Through consultation– Arrangements for engagement over

development of guidance/ACoP
