CDM 2015 (Consultation)
Designer (ACOP 2007)
115Designers are those who have a trade or a business which involves them in:
(a) preparing designs for construction work, including variations. This includes preparing drawings, design details, specifications, bills of quantities and the specification (or prohibition) of articles and substances, as well as all the related analysis, calculations, and preparatory work; or
(b) arranging for their employees or other people under their control to prepare designs relating to a structure or part of a structure.

CDM 2015 (Consultation)
116 Designers therefore include:
(a) architects, civil and structural engineers, building surveyors, landscape architects, other consultants, manufacturers and design practices (of whatever discipline) contributing to, or having overall responsibility for, any part of the design, for example drainage engineers designing the drainage for a new development;
(b) anyone who specifies or alters a design, or who specifies the use of a particular method of work or material, such as a design manager, quantity surveyor who insists on specific material or a client who stipulates a particular layout for a new building;

(c) building service designers, engineering practices or others designing plant which forms part of the permanent structure (including lifts, heating, ventilation and electrical systems), for example a specialist provider of permanent fire extinguishing installations;
(d) those purchasing materials where the choice has been left open, for example those purchasing building blocks and so deciding the weights that bricklayers must handle;
(e) contractors carrying out design work as part of their contribution to a project, such as an engineering contractor providing design, procurement and construction management services;

(f) temporary works engineers, including those designing auxiliary structures, such as formwork, falsework, façade retention schemes, scaffolding, and sheet piling;
(g) interior designers, including shopfitters who also develop the design;
(h) heritage organisations who specify how work is to be done in detail, for example providing detailed requirements to stabilise existing structures; and
(i) those determining how buildings and structures are altered, for example during refurbishment, where this has the potential for partial or complete collapse.

HSE Consultation
Consultation Document CD261 issued March 2014 with Responses submitted by 6th June 2014
1427 Responses received by HSE (considered good)400 responses were from Entertainments Sector Campaign524 responses were from CDM Co-ordinatorsOthers included clients, contractors, etc
Only 162 responses from designers
There are 39000 Architects on the ARB Register aloneadd IStructE, ICE, CIBSE, RICS, CABE, CIOB takes the tally to several 100,000 designers in construction.
In this context 162 seems to indicate a lack on interest/engagement with CDM.

• Exclusion of domestic clients• Threshold of applicability
11
CDM 2015 (Consultation)
CDM Co-ordinator - 2007
CDM Co-ordinators need a sound understanding of:
• health and safety in construction work;• the design process;• the importance of co-ordination of the
design process;• an ability to identify information which
others will need to know about the design in order to carry out their work safely.
