Why construction (CDM) compliance matters

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) place clear duties on clients, designers and contractors to ensure construction work is planned and carried out safely. Fulfilling your duties can feel complex and time-consuming, especially when construction is not your core business. Common challenges include:

  • Uncertainty about roles and responsibilities under CDM (client, principal designer, principal contractor)
  • Lack of time or expertise to prepare and share pre-construction information
  • Gaps in contractor competence checks and ongoing site monitoring
  • Incomplete risk assessments, RAMS and site-specific inductions
  • Difficulty demonstrating compliance to clients, insurers or regulators

impact HR simplifies CDM compliance with clear guidance and hands-on support, helping you avoid enforcement action, delays and reputational damage.
