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 objective 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.

Why do we have to do it? High Conceptual Design Detailed Design Ability to Procurement Influence Safety Construction Commissioning Low Project Lifecycle

Why do we have to do it? To achieve the 6 ‘C’s

Why do we have to do it? COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE CONSISTENCY CO-OPERATION COMPLIANCE CO-ORDINATION “Cradle to Grave, Holistic Approach”

Who has to do it? 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 of 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 others 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 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 other users or occupiers of the workplace, with regard to compliance with the Workplace Regulations • How: Complete the Workplace Regulations Checklist HSF 005.6 throughout the design process.

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.
