Good Afternoon, I have hopefully landed myself an interview with a new build construction company next Monday. I have been out of construction for the last 4 years so a bit rusty so any help would be greatly appreciated. What areas will I need to revise on , obviously CDM regulations but anything in particular in CDM ? Other topics on construction I will need to revise. Also if anyone would have any suggestions to likely construction related questions they may ask ? Any hints of tips would be greatly appreciated as I really want this job. Thanks in advance :)

Is it houses, office developments, hospitals etc and is it in an enclosed area. Trades involved this list could be endless if you are not there to see.

Sorry I should have been clearer. It is new build houses and flats which could range from 10-250 units I would assume.

Take a look at the HSE construction priorities programme for 2013, also take a look at Fees For Intervention. All of which is readily available on the good old HSE website. If you can take a look at you prospective new employers website as they may have some information relating to Health & Safety on there. Good luck!
