Posted By JasonGould I do not think it is mentioned and to some extent can see why. Unfortuantly a sound knowledge of H&S only is not going to get us through the CDM-C role. (I am begining to find that out myself and still have a way to go) I think we are going to have to look at this as a specialist subject and constantly improve ourselves to the desired skill set required to really achieve what the AcoP is hoping to be achieved. Dont get me wrong, H&S pro's will always have a very important role in this work, but they also need to know how the other parts work i.e. Design. I see it like this although simplified H&S = Get a best friend called designer Designer = Get a best friend called H&S H&S + Designer = Get a best friend whom is a super skilled interactive manager. All of the above = Try to become the Clients best friend :) Hence we enter the "can a CDM-C be one man debate?" I will duck out at this point as the flames start to fly.

Posted By Michael Battman The new ACoP states the following.... FOR DESIGN ORGANISATIONS- details of number/percentage of people engaged in the project who have passed a construction health and safety assessment, e.g. the CITB Construction Skills touch screen test or affiliated schemes, or the CCNSG equivalent; Details of any relevant qualifications and/or professional Institution membership and Any other specific qualifications such as ICE construction H&S Register, NEBOSH Construction Certificate, APS Design Register; FOR CDM - COORDINATORS- details of number/percentage of people engaged in the project who have passed a construction health and safety assessment, e.g. the CITB Construction Skills touch screen test or affiliated schemes, or the CCNSG equivalent; Evidence of health and safety knowledge such as NEBOSH Construction Certificate; Details of Professional Institution membership and any other specific qualifications such as member of the co-ordinators register administered by the APS, ICE construction H&S register etc. Evidence of a clear commitment to training and the Continuing Professional Development of staff. This isn't 'set in stone' and could change slightly, but there is no mention of IOSH - it rightly focuses on construction skills and experience
