CDM 2015: A Practical Guide for Architects and Designers

摘要

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) has had everyone talking since the Health and Safety Executive's revisions were announced in the autumn of 2014. The most controversial, perhaps, being the removal of the CDM coordinator and the introduction of the new principal designer (PD) function.
