CDM 2015 Awareness Training for Client Organisations is a CSS Worksafe training course developed to improve knowledge, competence and safer working practices.
Aims & Objectives: Why this training is needed. Many organisations become the Client under CDM 2015 without realising it. This can happen during everyday works such as office refurbishments, roof repairs, installation of new equipment, production line changes or maintenance shutdowns. This course helps delegates recognise when CDM duties are triggered and what evidence should be in place to show that projects have been properly planned, managed and monitored. Course aim. To give Client organisations a practical understanding of CDM 2015, including when it applies, what the Client must do, and how to avoid common compliance mistakes. Learning outcomes.
By the end of the course delegates will be able to: Explain when CDM 2015 applies and what counts as construction work. Identify who the Client is and understand the Client's legal duties. Recognise when Principal Designer and Principal Contractor appointments are required. Understand the difference between notifiable and non-notifiable projects. Know what information should be requested before work starts. Understand what documentation and evidence should be retained. Apply proportionate CDM controls to common workplace projects.
Suitability: Directors, senior managers, facilities managers, estates managers, engineering managers, maintenance managers, project managers, procurement managers, HSE advisers, permit issuers, contractor controllers.
Requirements: No prior knowledge of CDM is required. Delegates should ideally have some involvement in commissioning, managing or overseeing projects, contractors or maintenance activity.
