CDM Regulations 2015
Supporting safer planning and construction
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, commonly referred to as CDM 2015, came into force on 6 April 2015 and govern how construction projects of all sizes and types are planned.
The regulations aim to improve the health, safety and welfare of people working in construction. They define construction work and identify those who have health and safety duties during the planning and construction of a project, including home maintenance and improvement works.
Eryri Consulting Limited provides CDM compliance services for Clients, Designers, Principal Contractors and Contractors / Builders.

How Eryri Consulting can help

If a Client does not have the necessary skills and knowledge to fulfil their CDM 2015 duties, Eryri can provide support with:
- Ensuring appointed dutyholders have the necessary skills, knowledge, experience and training.
- Ensuring cooperation and communication across the project team.
- Preparing Pre-Construction Information, including existing Health & Safety Files, asbestos surveys and service drawings, for use during design and construction.
- Where necessary, supporting notification of the construction project to the HSE through the F10 notification system.
- Ensuring the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor comply with their duties.

- Checking that welfare facilities during the Construction Phase are sufficient in relation to Schedule 2.
- Ensuring dutyholders prepare a Health & Safety File for handover to the Client at the end of the project.
