Elaborate Peter

Posted By peter_1961

This is the question being posed, it is way over the top considering the work we are tendering for, I have searched all the right sites, I just need a copy of one that someone has done so I can adapt it for our work.

Thanks for replying.



In order to demonstrate an understanding of the CDM 2007 regs please provide your procedures / arrangements for practical implementation of the duties applicable to your company.

Please provide your procedure for complying with the appropriate cdm 2007 duty holder role. Procedures are required that show how the company complies in practice with the relevant duty holder role(s) under the cdm regulations 2007 ie who does what, when and how. You may show this in various forms eg an expanded flow chart, a table of legal duties and the actions individuals will take to comply with the duties or as a procedure that shows the actions to be taken by individuals throughout the various stages of the project etc

Support previous postings but would add that even if not principal contractor you will find CDM2007 places duties on contractors and also on what the ACOP calls "everybody". See page 5 and 6 of ACOP. We are consultants specialising in CDM and construction safety and there are others out there who will help on a commercial basis if you are stuck.

Might help.

Hi Peter

Suggest you use Appendix 4 of CDM ACOP to comment against the core criteria.

Regards, Peter

i worked for a design and build company who did everything, who are now "redundant".....so i used to do all the CDM paperwork - seriously. and i'm DipNEBOSH now, but still between jobs. and i've got a sense of humour so i can take most of what the construction world will throw around

hi there homer,
it means I'm just happy that i have recently passed my nebosh national diploma despite being made redundant twice in 3 months. and it means i have, as far as the L144 CDM acop says, a greater competency becasue i have the cdmc aps approved course under my belt, from one of my recent last companies, and the required HnS knowledge for a post as a CDMC. make any better sense? i hope so. fact is though, CDM is good when it works and you get into it having looked at the acop in depth, which is what an aps approved cdmc course will do. its a good one to get on if you can get it. there are many pitfalls with the understanding of CDM for those who don't have to deal with it every day, which i guess is why they make acops.
so peter has his work cut out for him anyhow.hope its going well Peter.

cheers

Sorry Sonshine I should read more carefully.

This and all questions like it show for me a total ignorance of what CDM is meant to be about. Yes we should check competence but questions asking for a CDM procedure is about as good as asking a pilot to demonstrate how he flies from airport A to airport B

Troble is that too many clients are advised to ask questions in this format. As a CDMC I would be ashamed of asking this question in this manner

I think I was trying to make the popint about overly complex questions and the belief that there is a "procedure" for everything especially when the requirements of CDM should be an integral part of all that constructiuon organiisations do. How many clients can demonstrate their answer to this question.

The question actually does not address any specific competence issue and as such must necessarily be poorly constructed. Competence = Skills, Knowledge, Ability, Training, Experience, Attitude and Behaviour. In CDM terms the question is in relation to H&S knowledge of CDM and relevant legislation.
