The CDM Regulations place duties on all those who can contribute to the health and safety of a construction project.

The Regulations place duties upon clients, designers, contractors and the CDM Co-ordinator, and require the production of certain documents such as the health and safety plan and the health and safety file.
The degree of detail as well as the time and effort required to comply with the legal duties need only be in proportion to the nature, size and level of health and safety risks involved in the project.

Therefore for small projects with minimal health and safety risks, you will only be
required to take simple, straightforward steps and few, if any, specialist skills will be needed.

Datson Consulting Ltd can undertake these CDM responsibilities on behalf of Clients and contractors and provide advice on their
application to any specific scheme.

We are often appointed as the CDM Co-odinator and work with the contractor to produce:-

• Construction Phase Health and Safety Plans
• Site inspections
• Pre-tender safety plans
• Health and safety file production
• Method statements
• Risk assessments
