CONIAC

The group’s role is to co-ordinate the production of industry-produced guidance in support of the CDM Regulations 2007.

It is chaired by Kevin Fear (Head of Health, Safety and Environment at ConstructionSkills) and includes representation from across the whole of construction, covering each of the duty holders outlined within the Regulations.

The group developed the Guidance using the following process:

1. Consultation with relevant parts of industry
2. Guidance drafted for each duty holder by groups that broadly represent each duty holder
3. Peer review and update of Guidance
4. Final review by IOSH Construction Specialist Group and the HSE
5. Approval by CONIAC

The Guidance is made up of working documents which will be updated over time based on feedback from industry. It is also proposed to add Guidance documents over time on specific issues. To have your say, please visit the Feedback section of this site.
