The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has an in-depth practical involvement with and a strong interest in The Construction Design and Management Regulations. The ICE contributed to the current 2007 Regulations, along with other professional bodies. However, with the benefit of using CDM, it has become clear that further important improvements are required and ICE assembled a Project Team to produce a Report on the three main areas where ICE Members had expressed concern.
The three particular areas addressed by the Report are:
1. Competence of the CDM Co-ordinator
2. Pre-construction information – “The Information Pack”
3. The H&S File
4. General Concerns with CDM 2007
One of the most encouraging aspects of the ICE CDM study and Report has been the co-operation of key industry bodies in identifying and debating matters of mutual concern and interest. It is intended to consolidate this communication, co-operation and co-ordination by establishing a series of small Contact Groups to allow further discussion. A number of bodies have indicated a willingness to join e.g. APS, IOSH, IStructE, RIBA, HSE, and ConstructionSkills.
