The CDM Regulations are aimed at improving the overall management and co-ordination of health, safety and welfare throughout all stages of a construction project to reduce the large numbers of serious and fatal accidents and cases of ill health which occur every year in the construction industry. 

These regulations place duties on all those who can contribute to the health and safety of a construction project.

The regulations give guidance on all stages of the project as follows:

• Concept and feasibility
•  Design and planning
•  Tender/selection stage
• Construction phase
•  Commissioning and handover

Duties are placed upon:

•  clients,
•  designers
•  the planning supervisor
•  principal contractor
•  contractors

The regulations also introduced new documents -

•  the health and safety plans
•  the health and safety file.
