Before we get going!

• Workshop Objectives

– To help designers steer an effective path through the duties and responsibilities that they have to discharge under CDM 07 in accordance with MWH systems and procedure. – To emphasise the fact that elimination, reduction and effective management of H & S Risks during design can have positive benefits in terms of project cost, delivery and quality.

What’s it all about?

• ON 6 APRIL 2007 the Construction (Design and Management)

Regulations1994 (CDM 1994) were revoked and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) came into

• force. At the same time the new Approved Code of Practice (ACOP)

was also issued ‘Managing health and safety in construction’. These applied to all projects involving construction work in Great Britain from 6 April 2007 onwards, including those that were already under way.

• These regulations impose duties on a range of participants in any

construction project, including clients, designers and contractors. The

• bjective of the new regulations is to improve health and safety within

the construction industry.

• Designers’ duties under CDM are contained in Regulations (4-7incl.),

11 and 18 and amplified in the ACoP paragraphs 109–145. All designers should read this guidance and become familiar with it.

• Failure to comply with the requirements of the regulations may result

in a criminal prosecution.

Who are Designers?

Who are Designers?

The term “Designer”

• relates to the function performed – not profession or job title
• you’re a designer if you prepare –

– drawings – write specifications – prepares bills of quantities – impose specific requirements on the design

• Nearly all participants in a project could be designers,

whether it be a client specifying a type of construction, or a subcontractor deciding how to work and designing a method

• f lifting and slinging.

Who are Designers?

Designers are:-

• Discipline Engineers (Civil, Structural, MEICA,

Process, etc)

• Project Managers
• Principal Contractors
• Contractors
• Clients
• Quantity Surveyors
• Temp. Works Engineers

Designer Duties

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Must be competent and adequately resourced to

address the health and safety issues likely to be involved in the design;

• When: Already in place, but client may review at any time.
• Why: Designers accepting an appointment are required,

under the CDM regulations, to be competent.

• How: Framework Appointment, Performance Track, MWH‘

Capability Statement’, covering competence, resources and commitment issues, supplemented with project-specific information.

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Check that clients are aware of their duties;
• When: Do this before commencing any design work.
• Why: You must not start design work until satisfied that

Clients are aware of their duties.

• How: Issue the Standard MWH letter on K-Net – HSF 005.1

CDM 2007 Standard Letter to Client

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Ensure that the client has appointed a CDM

coordinator;

• When: Do this before commencing Conceptual Design work
• Why: You should not start Conceptual Design work if the

project is notifiable and the CDM-C has not been appointed.

• How: Issue the Standard MWH letter on K-Net – HSF 005.1

CDM 2007 Standard Letter to Client. Advise clients that, on Notifiable Projects, the CDM-C has to be appointed before preparation of the Conceptual Design can commence.

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Ensure that they do not start design work other than

initial design work unless a CDM co-ordinator has been appointed

• When: Do this before commencing any Conceptual Design

work.

• Why: You should not start Conceptual Design work if the

project is notifiable and the CDM-C has not been appointed.

• How: Issue the Standard MWH letter on K-Net – HSF 005.1

CDM 2007 Standard Letter to Client. Advise clients that, on Notifiable Projects, the CDM-C has to be appointed before preparation of the Conceptual Design can commence.

Reminder: Designers must always remember that, whatever is meant by ‘initial design’, the work that the Designer carries out in every phase is subject to Regulation 11.

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Avoid foreseeable risks to those involved in the

construction and future use of the structure, and in doing so, they should eliminate hazards (so far as is reasonably practicable, taking account of other design considerations) and reduce risk associated with those hazards which remain;

• When: Critically assess design proposals at an early stage, and

then continue throughout the design process.

• Why: To ensure that health and safety issues are identified,

integrated into the overall design process and addressed as they go along.

• How: (1) Carry out Site Scoping Visits HSP 009.2 and HSF 009.3.

(2) Complete the Hazard Identification Checklist (HIC) HSF 009.1 at each stage. (3) Complete an Existing Site Hazard Drawing HSGD 009.1. (4) Complete the Significant Hazards Log HSF 009.2 throughout the design.

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Provide adequate information about any significant

risks associated with the design;

• When: Identify risks on a continuing basis throughout the

design process (not just at the end of the design stage).

• Why: Designers must provide information that other project

team members are likely to need to identify and manage the remaining risks. This should be project specific, and concentrate on significant risks which may not be obvious to those who use the design (providing generic risk information is pointless).

• How: (1) Complete the Design Decision Diary HSF 009.4 throughout the

design (2) Complete the Significant Hazards Log HSF 009.2 throughout the design

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Co-ordinate their work with that of others in order to

improve the way in which risks are managed and controlled.

• When: From day 1
• Why: Under the CDM Regulations, Designers are obliged to

co-ordinate their activities with each other, to co-operate with

• thers and to seek co-operation of others.
• How:. Attend design reviews, team meetings, etc. Complete

the Significant Hazards Log HSF 009.2 throughout the

• design. Make residual risk information available to others

throughout and across the project.

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Co-operate with the CDM co-ordinator, principal contractor and

with any other designers or contractors as necessary for each of them to comply with their duties This includes providing any information needed for the pre-construction information and health and safety file.

• When: From Day 1
• Why: to ensure that incompatibilities between designs are identified and

resolved as early as possible, and that the right information is provided in the pre-construction information.

• How: Make sure DRM issues are discussed in Design Review Meetings

and specific H & S Meetings/Workshops. Co-operation can be encouraged by: integrated teams, reviews of developing designs and site visits. Include the Existing Site Hazard Drawing HSGD 009.1. and the Significant Hazards Log HSF 009.2 in the Pre-Construction Information HSF 005.4 and the Health and Safety File HSF 005.3.

Designer Duties

• DUTY: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations
• When: From Day 1
• How: Complete the Workplace Regulations Checklist HSF 005.6

throughout the design process.

Reminder: Designers must always respond to these duties, as they design and need to be aware that certain solutions could compromise the position of the Client procuring the design, or

• ther users or occupiers of the workplace, with regard to compliance with the

Workplace Regulations

Designer Duties

• DUTY: The principles of prevention (ACoP Appx 7)
• When: From Day 1
• Why: These principles should be used to direct your approach to

identifying and implementing precautions necessary to control risks associated with the project. NOTE: Applies to all dutyholders.

• How:

– (a) avoid risks; – (b) evaluating the risks which cannot be avoided; – (c) combat the risks at source; – (d) adapt the work to the individual, – (e) adapt to technical progress; – (f) replace the dangerous with the non-dangerous or the less dangerous; – (g) develop a coherent overall prevention policy – (h) give collective protective measures priority over individual protective measures – (i) give appropriate instructions to employees.

What are my duties on all projects?

• Designer Outline Plan of Work

What don’t I have to do?

• “Under CDM, designers do not have to:

– take into account or provide information about unforeseeable hazards and risks – design for possible future uses of structures that cannot reasonably be anticipated from their design brief – specify construction methods, except where the design assumes

• r requires a particular construction or erection sequence, or

where a competent contractor might need such information – exercise any health and safety management function over contractors or others; – worry about trivial risks. – Keep records – although it is useful to record important design decisions.

Any Questions?

Design Risk Management

Avoiding Forseeable Risks – Why?

• It is essential that designers direct their actions towards

eliminating hazards and, if they cannot, to reducing risks through design decisions or provisions. Only as a last resort should designers seek to rely on actions by Contractors on site to provide the means of protection of workers and others during work activities.

• State the obvious – E.G danger of falling from height when considering a standard

building.

• Copy information to everyone, when only specific persons need to see it, and only

specific items are relevant.

• Issue generic information – This hides the specifics and buries the real message.
• Inform the contractor of all hazards, without attempting to eliminate them or reduce

the risks, so far as is reasonably practicable

• Tell the contractor what controls to adopt – E.G PPE, toe boards.

Significant Risks – NO, don’t do this!

• Significant Risks are not necessarily those that involve the greatest risks,

but those, including health risks that are:

Significant Risks – YES, do this!

Design Risk Management

• 1. Not likely to be obvious to a

Competent Contractor or Designer

• 2. Unusual
• 3. Difficult to Manage

Design Risk Management

In Sum, Designers should where possible:

• Select the position and design of structures to minimise risks

from site hazards.

• Design out health hazards
• Design out safety hazards
• Consider prefabrication
• Design in features that reduce the risk of falling/injury
• Design to simplify safe construction
• Design to simplify future maintenance and cleaning work
• Identify future demolition hazards for inclusion in the Health

and Safety File

Design Risk Management

The Whole Process Adopt the ERIC approach to eliminate hazards and reduce risks

• E – eliminate
• R – reduce
• I – inform
• C – control

Design Risk Management

• If you are complying with CDM2007 Reg. 11

– the design is progressed through the Project Lifecycle to completion

• hazards should have been considered –
• eliminated or minimized

– remaining residual risks reduced –

• ‘so far as is reasonably practicable’
• ACoP Paragraph 113 states that –

– “compliance with Regulation 11 of CDM2007 will usually be sufficient for designers to achieve compliance with Regs 3(1), (2), and (6) of MHSWR as they relate to the design of the structure”.

Competence – Key Messages

• By choosing the right people for the right job and

appointing them early, all in the project team can make sure that the project is safe to build, safe to use, safe to maintain and delivers good value

• CDM 2007 will make it easier to show that you

have the right skills and experience for the job

• Competent designers eliminate hazards and

reduce risks – manage the risk, not the paperwork

Summing up

• CDM2007 places the designer at the centre of health and safety,

jointly with the contractor, because the work to be done is of the designer’s choosing

• Designers are in a unique position to reduce the risks that arise

during construction work, and have a key role to play in CDM

Reminder:

• Designer CDM duties apply from Design Day 1 on every project
• Each project is different
• Designers are required to work as a team
• Raise questions and make further decisions using your own expertise.
• Make sure the information gets to the people who need it

All designers need to understand CDM2007 and be familiar with the ACoP, and other relevant legislation or they will not be able to undertake the legally enforceable duties placed upon them by CDM.
