Protect Your Project from Health and Safety Hazards

Under the UK’s Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015), the role of the Principal Designer is critical in ensuring that health and safety risks are managed from the earliest stages of a construction project. Appointed by the client, the Principal Designer is responsible for coordinating health and safety throughout the pre-construction phase, working with architects, engineers, and contractors to identify and mitigate risks. Without a qualified Principal Designer, projects are at greater risk of accidents, legal non-compliance, and costly delays.
