The CDM regulation 2024 will have significant impact on any project which involves construction work including planning, design, management and other work involved in a project until the end of the construction project. The CDM regulation 2024 covers the responsibility of the client, designer and contractor on the management of safety, health, and welfare when carrying out construction projects. The course provides the awareness and understanding of the CDM regulation 2024 and explain what the duty holders need to do and how they are involved in management of risk of a construction project.
