Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been published as a direct response to the poor results indicated six years after the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 came into force. The CDM concept spread responsibility across the whole chain of construction, demanding adequate resourcing and competent appointments. The output however has been poor. Accident rates have not fallen significantly and the cost of implementation of the regulations has been high. Throughout the book the authors demonstrate that the CDM regulations can be a tool for delivering real value in health and safety, improved operational output, and savings and measurable benefits for clients.
