(design, construction and maintenance)
Version 2, ????????? 2013
Draft 1
CDM 2007 – Principal groups active in health and safety relating to construction
(design, construction and maintenance)
This directory has been created in response to a request from CIRIA members about ‘who is doing what’ in relation to CDM2007. It is held on CIRIA’s
website and is freely
available.
It is intended that the database will be reviewed annually by members of the CIC’s Health and safety Committee.
Feedback is welcomed and should be sent to the author alan.gilbertson@ciria.org.
