CDM Awareness Course Overview

IIRSM & IOSH Approved

The Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations are designed to ensure health, safety, and welfare standards are upheld in construction projects. No matter your position within the construction industry, these regulations are in place to support and improve your safety on site.

The regulations are intended to ensure that each project is carefully planned and managed from the outset, fostering a safer and more effective working environment.

This introductory course covers the fundamental aspects of CDM regulations, outlining the essential roles involved in a construction project and the crucial documentation required. Beginning with an overview of CDM, the course then explores key planning considerations and concludes with real-world project examples to demonstrate how these regulations are practically applied.
