This guide has been prepared to help designers get things right when dealing with the CDM Regulations. The process of Design Risk Management insofar as it concerns health and safety in construction is an integral part of the design process and can make a substantial contribution to achieving client and design team targets on projects if seen in this light. It can also make a big difference to the lives, health and well-being of those who work on the buildings and other structures that we are involved with.

This guide draws out the implications of CDM2007 and its Approved Code of Practice to see what they really mean for designers who have to apply them. The nine sections cover:

• Starting Out
• Client Awareness of Duties
• Being Capable: Competence, Resources and Commitment
• Capability of Other Designers
• Co-operation and Co-ordination
• Information to Inform Design and Planning
• Risk Management in Design
• Residual Risks, the Health and Safety File and Client Requirements
• Records and Feedback
