Client Duties Course

About the course:

The CDM2015 Regulations have brought increased, and new, legal duties to ALL clients of construction projects. With the Health and Safety Executive's increased emphasis on regulating smaller projects and sites, it is now imperative that clients, both domestic and commercial, are fully aware of what their statutory duties are before embarking on a construction project. Good consideration of health and safety practices early in a project has been proven to result in improved designer and contractor performance and returns for clients in terms of project Time, Cost and Quality.

This half day course will give clients a clear understanding of what their legal duties are and what their options might be for discharging them in a responsible, practical and proportionate manner.
