Summary:

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations require all those involved in construction to adopt an integrated approach to health and safety management. Clients, designers and contractors, as well as planning supervisors, must now work together to ensure that health and safety management issues are considered throughout all phases of a project. Appropriate procedures must be established to ensure that documentation is clear and a structured approach is adopted by all those involved in a project to ensure that the requirements of the regulations are complied with.
