Background Information

Although the construction industry accounts for only about 5% of the employment in Britain, it is responsible for 27% of fatal injuries to employees and 10% of reported major injuries. In addition 56% of all male occupational cancer registrations are all construction related.

Injuries and new cases of ill health resulting from current working conditions in the construction industry can cause significant disruption, delays and cost to projects.

As from 6th April CDM 2015 comes into force and will require new roles and responsibilities on Clients, contractors and Principal Designers. In addition CDM will now also apply to domestic projects and will have a revised threshold for notification. Guidance L153, currently in draft, will also become approved.
