Half of dutyholders don't understand their COM duties

摘要

MORE than half of the health and safety professionals who participated in a recent survey on the impact of the Construction, Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2007 feel their managers lack the competence to fulfil their CDM duties. Almost half a wider sample, which included participants with site, planning and design responsibilities, did not believe their managers were competent to carry out their CDM duties, with 47 percent giving a vote of no confidence. The online questionnaire, which was hosted on training organisation CDM2007's website in July and received 228 responses, asked visitors for their views on the impact and effectiveness of the CDM Regulations since they were implemented two years ago.
