CDM 2015 for Non-Construction Industry

CDM 2015 for Non-Construction Industry is a CSS Worksafe training course developed to improve knowledge, competence and safer working practices.

Aims & Objectives: Why this training is needed. CDM 2015 applies because of the type of work being carried out, not simply because an organisation works in the construction industry. Many non-construction businesses are caught by CDM when they install, alter, maintain, dismantle or significantly change buildings, structures, plant or systems. This course gives delegates a practical method for deciding when CDM applies and how to integrate CDM duties into existing contractor control, permit-to-work and project management arrangements. Course aim. To give non-construction organisations a clear, practical and defensible approach to identifying CDM work, managing legal duties and applying proportionate controls across workplace projects.

Learning outcomes. By the end of the course delegates will be able to: Understand why CDM applies in non-construction industries.

Recognise workplace activities that legally count as construction work. Apply a simple test to decide whether CDM is likely to apply. Identify Client, Designer, Principal Designer, Principal Contractor and Contractor duties. Understand when written appointments are required. Recognise notifiable and non-notifiable project.

Requirements: Integrate CDM with contractor control and permit-to-work systems. Keep documentation proportionate while retaining suitable evidence.

Suitability: Facilities managers, estates managers, engineering managers, maintenance managers, operations managers, project managers, procurement managers, HSE managers, contractor control teams, permit-to-work coordinators, manufacturing managers, warehouse managers, laboratory managers, healthcare estates teams.
