CDM Regulations 2015: What Contractors and Clients Must Know

If you’re involved in construction, CDM 2015 applies to you—no exceptions. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place clear responsibilities on clients, designers, and contractors to ensure safety from start to finish.

Here’s a simplified breakdown:

Key roles under CDM:

  • Client: Must ensure suitable arrangements for managing the project safely.

  • Principal Designer: Coordinates health and safety in the pre-construction phase.

  • Principal Contractor: Manages health and safety during construction.

Why compliance matters:

  • CDM is legally binding.

  • Non-compliance can lead to stop-work notices, fines, or worse—serious incidents.

  • It improves project coordination, reduces delays, and ensures worker protection.
