The new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994, which came into force on 31 March 1995, have imposed statutory duties on clients, designers, planning supervisors and contractors with the specific aim of improving the health and safety conditions of people in the construction industry. The new regulations apply to all construction work which: lasts for more than 30 days or will involve more than 500 person days of work; requires five or more people on site at any one time; or includes any demolition.;This text aims to provide the reader with step-by-step practical advice and guidance on each clause contained within the Regulations. In explaining the Regulations the text has been organized so that the chapters emphasize the main legal responsibilitites of each of the central roles, and provides a checklist which ensures quick and easy assimilation of the legal responsibilities that affect the reader. It also aims to help the reader avoid potential pitfalls (and associated penalities) of non-compliance.
