The regulations aim to make specific members of a construction team (known as duty holders) accountable for the inspection and management of health and safety right from the start of a project to the very end.<\/p>\n<p>The CDM Regulations were brought in by the HSE to strengthen communication and cooperation between all members of the construction team. Under CDM, everyone has a part to play from the principal contractor and designer to the construction workers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before you begin your project, the HSE requires you to give notice of the beginning of your project. This is called project notification, and it is fairly straightforward.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>When do the CDM Regulations Apply?<\/h2>\n<p>The CDM Regulations 2015 apply to <strong>all construction sites<\/strong>\u00a0(domestic and non-domestic) across Great Britain.
