The Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015 set the safety standard for all construction work in the UK, and the Online CDM Regulation Awareness Course (Remote Learning) gives everyone involved in a project, from clients through to contractors, a solid understanding of the legal and safety framework they must follow. With an emphasis on communication and teamwork, the regulations outline what duty holders need to do to bring contractors together as early as possible and identify, evaluate and address health and safety risks from planning through to completion.
Whatever the project, from demolition and extensions to planning new developments, any work that fails to comply with CDM regulations can face heavy fines or even criminal prosecution. Anyone whose role also touches on wider site management, such as scaffolding or temporary works co-ordination, may find the CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWCTC) Course a useful companion, since CDM duties and temporary works management frequently overlap on the same site.
In one day, the Online CDM Regulation Awareness Course (Remote Learning) gives delegates the ability to identify and control risks, foster a safe working environment and reduce accidents, along with a clear understanding of their legal responsibilities and those of other construction workers. Site managers holding a wider CITB qualification often add this course as a focused, standalone refresh of CDM knowledge specifically, complementing the broader syllabus covered on the CITB SMSTS Course.
Delegates attend a scheduled, interactive class via Zoom, so a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker is required; tablets and mobile phones aren't supported for this course.
