CDM Coordinators

A new role of CDM co-ordinator has been created by CDM 2007. It is a wider role than that of the planning supervisor (which it replaces) and may be summed up as ‘The client’s adviser in matters relating to construction health and safety’.

The role involves advising and assisting the client in undertaking the measures needed to comply with CDM 2007, in particular, the client’s duties both at the start of the construction phase and during it.
