Construction Design and Management Regulations, 1994

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 came into force in March 1995. They seek to raise the standard of construction health and safety management by improving co-ordination between various parties in the construction process. This book offers a practical analysis of recent legislation. The text of the regulations, and relevant supplementary material such as the Approved Code of Practice and Guidance Notes, are discussed, with an explanation of the reasoning behind the legislation, and its likely effect upon implementation. The regulations are considered in the context of their European origin, the consultation phase in the UK, and UK health and safety legislation in general.
