The Health and Safety Commission (HSC) has approved the proposed revised Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations and Approved Code of Practice (ACoP). The Regulations will revise and bring together provisions in the existing CDM Regulations 1994 and the Construction (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 into a single regulatory package.

The proposed Regulations are scheduled to come into force in April 2007. The Regulations do not impose new duties on clients. They make explicit what clients should already be doing as a result of existing duties in the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA) and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
