CIOB EPA Level 4 Design And Construction Management Practice Test

The main focus is managing health and safety across construction projects. CDM 2015 is all about planning, coordinating, and communicating to prevent accidents and ill health from the earliest design stages through to completion and handover. It places duties on clients, designers, and contractors to ensure risks are identified, eliminated or reduced, and that safe systems of work and construction phase plans are in place. The regulations push for safety considerations to influence design decisions so hazards are designed out where possible, and for clear responsibilities and continuous cooperation throughout the project. While keeping schedules on track, achieving efficiency, or improving client communications are important project goals, they are not the primary aim of CDM 2015—the framework centers on safeguarding everyone affected by the work through proactive risk management.
