Easton Bevins can supply experienced CDM Coordinators in line with the THE CONSTRUCTION (DESIGN & MANAGEMENT) REGULATIONS 2007 (Also known as CDM 2007).

The CDM Coordinator's role is to:

• Advise the client on health and safety issues during the design and planning phases of construction work so they can undertake their duties under the Regulations.
• Notify the HSE about the project prior to commencement on site.
• Co-ordinate design work, planning and other preparation for construction where relevant to health and safety.
• Identify and collect the pre-construction information and advise the client if surveys need to be commissioned to fill significant gaps.
• Promptly provide in a convenient form to those involved with the design of the structure; and to every contractor (including the principal contractor) who may be or has been appointed by the client, such parts of the pre-construction information which are relevant to each.
• Manage the flow of health and safety information between clients, designers and contractors.
• Advise the client on the suitability of the initial construction phase plan and the arrangements made to ensure that welfare facilities are on site from the start.
• Ensure that a relevant user friendly Health and Safety File is produced suitable for future use at the end of the construction phase.

In addition Easton Bevins usually prepares and submits to all parties a pre-tender health and safety plan and attends at least one design team meeting and/or a pre contract meeting if required. Further attendance at meetings can be arranged. Please note that in some cases the Health and Safety File will be produced by the principal contractor and checked for adequacy by the CDM Coordinator. This will be confirmed on an individual project by project basis.
