Title: The CDM Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit


1
  • The CDM Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit
  • PRODUCT OVERVIEW

2
  • This presentation has been prepared to provide
    users and potential purchasers of the CDM
    Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit with a brief
    overview of the product and the benefits it offers

3
Overview
  • The CDM Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit has been
    specifically designed to assist CDM Co-ordinators
    to comply with their duties under the
    Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
    2007 (CDM). 
  • The software has been written by practising
    Construction Safety Professionals who have a
    detailed understanding and knowledge of both the
    construction industry and health and safety
    legislation.

4
What does it do?
  • The software assists CDM Co-ordinators to
  • Notify the HSE of the project
  • Make clients aware of their duties advise them
    when required
  • Assess the competence resources of
    designers/contractors
  • Ensure designers give due regard to health
    safety in their designs
  • Ensure designers cooperate with the CDM
    Co-ordinator other designers
  • Prepare the Pre-Construction Health Safety
    Information Packs
  • Assess the suitability of the Construction Phase
    HS Plan
  • Prepare the Health Safety File
  • It also provides an audit trail of the actions
    taken

5
How is this achieved?
  • This is achieved in a variety of ways including
  • The provision of checklists which outline the
    duties and roles of the CDM Co-ordinator at each
    stage of a project
  • Acting as an aide memoir to ensure CDM
    Co-ordinators are both aware of the actions they
    need to take and providing an auditable record of
    the actions taken
  • Enabling Design Safety Statements (DSS), Design
    Safety Reviews (DSR), Design Risk Assessments
    (DRA) and Hazard Registers to be prepared, these
    provide an ideal mechanism to communicate
    information with other parties

6
How is this achieved? (Cont.)
  • The provision of a wide range of example
    documents (MS Word format) which can be accessed
    at the appropriate work stage by clicking on the
    shortcut button located at the side of the audit
    records
  • Documents which can be edited and amended by the
    user and are entirely customisable to allow for
    the specific requirements of individual practices
    to be catered for
  • Links to the other modules within the Compliance
    Kit are also provided, this enables users to
    quickly switch between modules as and when
    required

7
Sample Documents
  • The CDM Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit
    includes a wide range of editable documents (MS
    Word) including
  • Form F10
  • Standard letters to the HSE, clients and
    designers
  • Competence and Resource Questionnaires
  • Pre-Construction HS Information Questionnaires
  • Pre-Construction HS Information Pack Templates
  • Construction Phase HS Plan Assessment Checklist
  • Health Safety File Template
  • Risk Registers

8
Ensuring Compliance
  • Whilst the CDM Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit
    will not automatically make a project safer, it
    will help you to manage project safety matters
    and ensure all parties are aware of their duties
    and obligations under CDM
  • Furthermore the integral audit facility will
    allow Line Managers and Safety Managers to review
    and assess the actions taken by their staff
    during the life of a project

Features Benefits
  • The following slides provide more information on
    the key features and modules of the CDM
    Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit
  • Whilst we have not included all of the features
    and modules included within the software, we feel
    that the following slides should provide a
    comprehensive overview of the product and its
    features
  • The only computer skills you need to operate the
    software is to know how to point a mouse, click
    the mouse buttons and use the keyboard to type in
    text

10
Once loaded, the first screen you will encounter
is the Main Switchboard. This enables users to
view supporting information, create a new
project, open an existing project or exit the
software.
11
Whenever you open an existing project or create a
new project, you will see the Project Safety
Record HOME PAGE. This screen provides you with
links to each of the software modules and
information associated with a particular
project. By entering the Project Title and No. on
the Home Page, it is automatically transferred to
each of the other modules. To access the project
data, simply click on the relevant button on the
left hand side of the screen.
12
The first module is that of the Design Safety
Statement, this should be prepared at the start
of a project (and updated as necessary) and is
used to specify any key information such as the
general design criteria and parameters. It can
also be used to record details of any existing
information that is relevant to the project and
which may restrict the design or generate
specific hazards.
13
The Project Directory is simply used to record
the details of the key parties involved in the
project, this includes not only the core design
team, but also other designers, the Principal
Contractors and other key contractor who will be
involved as the project progresses
14
The main element of the software consists of the
audit records for each of the project stages.
This informs users of their duties and the
required actions whilst enabling a full audit
record to be prepared. The buttons on the right
hand side of the screen provide a link to the MS
Word documents and other modules within the CDM
Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit.
15
Another key element is that of the Design Risk
Assessment (DRA) module. This assists users to
identify hazards and those affected, whilst also
enabling a rapid assessment of the risk to be
carried out. This module also enables the
actions taken during the design development and
any additional control measures to be recorded.
Each assessment is carried out on a separate page
and there is no limit to the number of
assessments that can be completed.
16
To enable the effective transfer of information
between the CDM Co-ordinator and others such as
Designers, the Principal Contractor and other
contractors, information such as the DRAs can be
printed off as shown here, or alternatively it
can be exchanged electronically as Adobe Acrobat
Files (PDF) or Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI)
Format. Neither of these formats require the
recipient to have access to the CDM Co-ordinators
CDM Compliance Kit. To create electronic files
you need to have the Adobe Acrobat Software or
Microsoft Document Imaging loaded on your PC.
17
The Design Safety Reviews enable key information
relevant to the hazards associated with the
project to be recorded. Separate DSRs can be
completed for each project stage and the
information provides a useful format for sharing
the information with other project members.
18
Application and Use
  • The CDM Co-ordinators CDM Compliance Kit can be
    used by CDM Co-ordinators, line managers,
    projects managers and others responsible for the
    management and coordination of project safety
    matters
  • The software enables the facilitation of regular
    reviews and compliance checks to be made to
    ensure an organisation is complying with its
    duties under CDM and is providing sufficient
    information regarding the hazards
