CDM 2015 creates a new role of the Principal Designer (PD) – a
designer or design organisation appointed from the existing project
team with duties to plan, manage and monitor the pre-construction
phase and coordinate matters relating to health and safety during
the pre-construction phase. A significant part of the course is
intended to increase awareness and understanding of how
construction risks can be mitigated through design and exchange of
information.
This event provides an introduction to this new role and is
aimed at designers, clients, contractors and/or individuals who may
take on the pre-construction phase coordination role for the first
time, or simply want to understand the PD function for small to
medium size projects. It is not aimed at former CDM-Cs.
The course will be delivered by an ex-HSE Principal
Construction Inspector with almost 40 years’ experience. It will
include:
- An introduction and overview to CDM 2015 and the duties of the
Principal Designer - The role of the construction client
- The Principal Designer’s role in supporting the client
- Obtaining and using pre-construction information
- Appointment of designers and contractors
- The Principal Designer’s role in ensuring designers comply with
their duties - Exploring through case study and discussion the key health and
safety risks construction workers can face during construction and
maintenance - Coordinating the flow of health and safety information
- The role of the Principal Contractor and liaison with the
PD - Preparing the health and safety file
- Understand the changes introduced by CDM 2015, the policy
objectives behind them, and how the Regulations enable
proportionate compliance dependent on project complexity - Know the role and duties of the Client, Principal Designer,
designers, Principal Contractor, and contractors and the
relationships and interfaces with the Principal Designer - Know the key health and safety risks faced by construction
workers and those maintaining a structure - Understand the importance of pre-construction information, its
limitations and the need for interpretation and further
investigation in some circumstances - Understand the importance of achieving the effective
communication of and use of design information - Understand how effective management, coordination and
monitoring during the pre-construction phase can help to eliminate
or reduce risks during the construction and life of the
structure - As PDs, be better placed to make decisions on the relevancy of
pre-construction and design information they should provide to PCs
for construction phase health & safety plans, and relevant
information for health and safety files
This training is aimed at individuals and employees of
organisations who meet the definition of designer and could be
appointed as PD, and those who want to understand the duties of a
PD as defined in CDM 2015.
This course is intended to provide an introduction and overview
only to this new role and help delegates understand the actions
that need to be taken to discharge the Principal Designer’s duties.
It is not aimed at those involved in major projects or designed to
establish or evaluate competence.
