CDM TRAINING FOR DESIGNERS

Training in CDM Regulations 2007 available from CIRIA

CIRIA are running two CDM 2007 courses for designers on 28th October (London) and 27th November (Birmingham). The one day courses examine the duties of designers and explain the requirement for consideration of workplace ‘in-use’ risks. The difficult health and safety issues faced by designers will be discussed with practical examples used to illustrate the points being made. There will be a team exercise to enable designers to apply the knowledge and questions arising dealt with in an open manner. The course includes free copies of CIRIA’s newly updated work sector guidance for designers and the new workplace in use guidance for designers.
