CDM Regulations

Health and safety can’t be left until the last minute. CDM regulations make it clear that risk needs to be ironed out early in the design phase.

That means responsibilities must be clearly assigned and managed from the outset. Appointing the right Principal Designer is a legal duty if you’re going to meet CDM 2015 compliance. It’s also a smart move if you want a project that runs smoothly and safely.

CDM 2015 Compliance Is Non-Negotiable

CDM 2015 compliance improves safety and project outcomes, but it only works when the duties are understood and carried out. The Principal Designer is important when it comes to shaping a safe build, reducing the chance of delays and accidents.

With BAS as your Principal Designer, risks are flagged early and can be factored into every design decision. We also work with you to communicate them clearly to your wider team. That means fewer surprises and a project that protects both people and reputation.
