CDM Co-ordination
Construction Design Management (CDM)
C-MIST was involved with CDM from the start – indeed assisted the HSE in the early development of the Regulations and, subsequently, in workshops leading to the 2002 Approved Code of Practice and Guidance document. C-MIST also helped set up the Institution of Construction Safety (ICS).
C-MIST believes CDM Co-ordination is:
- A cost effective management tool
- A value as part of the design process
It is not:
- An expensive overhead producing mounds of paper with little or no value
- The presence of a shadowy figure rarely seen or an obstructive nit picking irritant.
