t 02 I comment t augusT 14 Please excuse the harvest festival reference but CDM 2015 provides an opportunity for the industry to reject the minimalist paper-pushing, form lling CDM-Cs who rely solely on their ‘statutory appointment’ status to get work. We can be pretty sure that a regulatory dened set of competence requirements will not appear in any nal set of CDM Regulations. seParaTing The WheaT from The chaff or raising sTandards? Appendix 4 o the current CDM Approved Code o Practice has been criticised or creating a air degree o bureaucracy surrounding prequalifcation and competence assessments or dierent duty holder roles. Appendix 5 however has not suered the same damnation and has always provided a measure o good guidance when appointing a CDM Co-ordinator or larger, more complex or riskier projects. As industry becomes better or all but the simplest o projects, the Appendix 5 criteria may well be closer to where the industry now needs to look in terms o standards or construction health and saety risk management consultants i.e. someone who is proessionally qualifed to Chartered level in a relevant construction related institution, has validated CPD in this feld, and a typical additional qualifcation or example the NEBOSH Construction Certifcate, membership o the Association or Project Saety, and o course, most important o all, evidence o signifcant work on similar projects with comparable hazards, complexity and procurement route. The big clients see the project and fnancial benefts o employing a good CDM Consultant to do more than the absolute minimum and proessional clients such as Housing Associations, Councils and private developers should probably all be working to this model going orward. I can accept that this is not necessarily going to happen with the smaller one-o clients and contractors, the very area o the industry where there are most concerns, but this has always been a difcult market to ‘convert’. Only a concentrated eort by the HSE based around un-announced inspections o smaller sites, together with a great deal o education o both designers and contractors, is going to see improvements at this end o the industry. The age old problem has always been “How do you educate one-o clients i you have no way o knowing who they are or when they are going to start a construction project?” We, the industry and the HSE, will have to rely on the people they appoint to ensure that suitable health and saety management arrangements are put in place. In terms o designers, that probably means our design institutes have a lot o work to do to ensure that their members are completely amiliar with new CDM and risk management generally - well at least amiliar enough to know when they do not know enough and need to bring in a CDM Consultant to advise and assist both them and the client. It will be interesting to see what the views o others in the industry are regarding a capable workorce in this key area when the APS Convention comes to Birmingham on 2nd and 3rd September. The HSE’s CDM 2015 proposals may well help in this regard as architects, surveyors and engineers will fnd themselves on many projects automatically appointed as the Principal Designer with an associated legal responsibility or co-ordinating the design phase health and saety. Designers are usually good co-ordinators as this is part and parcel o a designer’s role and perhaps Designers need to look at the Principal Designer role as less about being an expert in health and saety and more about being a good co-ordinator o inormation and making sure they have the right advice to hand. I they really want to deal with the ‘health and saety’ issues and they have the capability, then great. I they don’t have the capability, then they will need to go looking or someone who does and can provide them with that all important independent advice and assistance. The APS and HSE, via the new CDM2015 Regulations, will be working to see the days o poor quality CDM Co-ordinators getting away with orm-flling and paper pushing, no project team involvement or provision o good advice and guidance, hopeully coming to an end. Bring on the capable, independent, CDM consultant… How do you educate one-o clients i you have no way o knowing who they are or when they are going to start a construction project? ‘‘ ‘‘
