Helping a Waste Business Navigate CDM Regulations
A successful waste management company, planning the construction of a new facility as part of their expansion, reached out to us for support. They wanted their team to understand their responsibilities under the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations to ensure the project was safe, compliant, and well-organised from start to finish.
As a commercial client, the company knew they had specific duties under the CDM Regulations but weren’t entirely sure how to meet them. They wanted their internal team to feel confident overseeing the project, particularly when working with contractors and ensuring everything was planned and managed safely. With a busy team already juggling multiple responsibilities, they needed a training solution that was straightforward, flexible, and easy to fit into their schedule.
Our Solution
We recommended our CDM Regulation Training Course, delivered entirely online for maximum flexibility. The course was designed to help their team understand:
- Their responsibilities as a commercial client under the CDM Regulations.
- The importance of appointing the right professionals and ensuring proper communication throughout the project.
- How to manage risks and make sure the project was planned and carried out safely.
To make the process even smoother, Laura Bird, one of our experienced training coordinators, worked closely with the company. She kept everything organised, tracked progress, and was always on hand to answer questions, making sure the team got the most out of the training.
The Results
The training had an immediate impact. The team now had:
- A solid understanding of their role as a commercial client, including what they needed to do to stay compliant.
- Confidence in overseeing the project’s planning and managing risks effectively.
- Practical tools to ensure proper communication with contractors and duty holders.
The team found the online platform intuitive and easy to use, and the flexibility meant they could complete the training without interrupting their day-to-day work. They also gave special thanks to Laura Bird, whose support made the whole process stress-free.
What They Said
“The CDM training was spot on for our needs. It gave us a clear understanding of our responsibilities and helped us feel much more confident about managing the project. The online platform was simple to use, and Laura Bird’s organisation made everything so much easier. We’re now fully prepared to keep our project safe and compliant.”
