Opening remarks


“Construction remains a disproportionately dangerous industry where improvements in health and safety are urgently needed.”

HSE January 2007

‘Construction is one of Britain’s most important industries employing over two million people. Vast improvements have been made in the sector in recent years; however it remains one of Britain’s most dangerous industries to work in.’

HSE. February 2015

1. We have come a long way since 2007


UK Construction


“The purpose of CDM 2015 is to maintain or

improve worker protection.”

HSE June 2014

2. THE PD role ‘mirrors’ PC role in pre-construction


3. CDM Regulations not ‘stand alone’ law.

‘HSE surveys of designers have shown that few design practices have understood the need to extend training beyond CDM wording.

It is not possible to deliver CDM without a wider understanding of legal requirements’

Regulation 8 General Duties Every great project is great in every respect. On

time. On budget. Proudly delivered without harm The Olympics has proved that integration and

team work can deliver stunning results: not just the ODA Big Build but also LOCOG’s creation of an integrated whole from disparate parts

8. Integration: proper teamwork


9. Iteration: repeated review


If you cannot deliver well managed projects and make professional project decisions then our industry does not want you

Step up and embrace the challenge Be proud Great H&S is best delivered by technically and

managerially competent individuals working in teams. Great civil engineers.

10. Professionalism? Yes!
