The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/320), also known as CDM Regulations or CDM 2007, previously defined legal duties for the safe operation of UK construction sites. They were superseded by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. The regulations placed specific duties on clients, designers and contractors, to plan their approach to health and safety. They applied throughout construction projects, from inception to final demolition and removal.
They were introduced by the Health and Safety Executive's Construction Division to:
- Improve project planning and management;
- Assign appropriate personnel to manage on-site risks;
- Manage health and safety;
- Discourage bureaucracy.
