As a client CDM adviser, my role is to assist clients to comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM), and all associated health and safety legislation, to ensure that they manage their arrangements and remain compliant throughout the lifecycle of their £multi-million works programmes and projects. CDM also says that the client has a statutory duty to engage with other duty holders and this is where they will often require that 3rd party support. 

CDM says that if a client needs help in making these arrangements the principle designer (PD) should be in a position to help with this however, the client could also draw on the advice of a competent person in accordance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 ('the Management Regulations'). The latter is why I have been appointed to support clients such as PHE / UKHSA, and Defra. 

During this presentation I will be giving you an overview on how I have advised and supported my clients from business case; the procurement of projects; the appointment of CDM duty holders namely the principal designer and the principal contractor; the notification of a project to the HSE (when required); the handover of a project area; the pre-construction phase; the construction phase; project hand back (including project documentation); and the occupation of an asset if it is to be used as a workplace. 

There will be time at the end of the presentation for a Q & A session!

Ray’s journey in CDM started when he was serving in the Royal Engineers as a design draughtsman, a design draughtsman lecturer, and a survey team leader during the 1990’s when CDM was first introduced. I am sure we all remember the CDM Regulations 1994 coming into force at the end of March 1995.

This new piece of legislation was adopted by his trade in the Royal Engineers and applied to all projects worldwide. Ray’s career as a design draughtsman concluded as a drawing office manager in 2001 before he retired from the Royal Engineers in 2005.

Ray is a Chartered construction manager with over 35-years’ experience and a proven track record in construction design and design management; hard FM contract management; construction project management; construction management; construction safety management; Design Risk Management; and construction safety leadership obtained whilst supporting works programmes on safety critical sites including MoD, Nuclear, NHS, Dstl, PHE/UKHSA, and Defra.

Ray is a highly resourceful individual who, as a seasoned CDM Adviser has been delivering a full-time assurance service to his clients for the last 8-years to ensure that they remain legally compliant in accordance with the CDM Regulations 2015 and all associated H & S legislation throughout the life cycle of their £multi-million works' programmes.
