Since 1994, the CDM Regulations have formed the backbone of Health and Safety Regulations relating to construction, design and management of projects in the construction industry.
In light of the continuing poor health and safety performance of the construction sector, the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) published its ‘Revitalising Health and Safety in Construction’ discussion document in 2002. Following industry’s comments on this document, HSC announced it would revise the CDM Regulations in 2003.
