CDM Regulations 2015; Principal Designers Training Awareness Day

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations are still raising a huge amount of questions, especially amongst those with new safety duties – designers / architects / structural engineers. We would strongly encourage you to take the time to get some solid guidance which comes (in part) right from the HSE themselves through our Principal Designers Training Day.

We’ve run several of these events and they are always sold out so please book your place soon.

CDM Regulations 2015; Principal Designers Training Awareness Day

Designer Awareness Day CDM 2015:

  • – prevention through design
  • – risk appreciation
  • – supporting small contractors

The South West Working Well Together (WWT) group and the Health and Safety Executive are inviting you to a Designer Awareness Day.

This is a seminar which will include presentations by the Health and Safety Executive and other experienced Construction industry safety Professionals.

WWT is a construction industry led partnership aiming to improve the standards of health and safety. The goal is to achieve a meaningful and sustained reduction in injury and ill-health in the construction industry.

Many people with design responsibilities are not clear how to address, mitigate or eliminate risk at the design stage and are therefore unable to meet the standards expected of them. Designers have a crucial role in improving the performance of the industry.

This event is supported by the professional institutions and HSE. You will gain valuable information about the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015) which spells out your duty of care – certificates will be provided.

I look forward to meeting you at this seminar.

HSENow is your chance to see who gets blamed for what and why and how they get sentenced – a real eye opener for all of us and something worth seeing or perhaps encouraging your Managing Director to attend.

Even better, our MD, Roger Hart, is the person in the dock!  So if you’d like to see him sweating under the glare of the lights and the scrutiny of Pinsent Masons please read more and book your place using the link below.

The health and safety team at Pinsent Masons will present a half day mock trial based on a fictional construction based scenario.

This is a hugely informative and a must-see event, providing a valuable and sometimes chilling insight into the legal responsibilities of all decision-makers who arrange and carry out construction work, especially Clients and their Contractors.The event is essential viewing for:

  • Client decision-makers at all levels
