David Lambert, health and safety expert panel chair at the Institution of Civil Engineers, has welcomed new proposals for a regulative overhaul of the construction industry.
Under proposals put forward by the Health and Safety Executive, the existing Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) would be overwritten by a more efficient set of regulations.
Mr Lambert said: “The launch of this long awaited consultation, albeit for a shorter duration than we would have liked, is welcome and ICE will be engaging closely with its members and the HSE to ensure its response reflects the concerns of civil engineers and ensure the final regulations are effective and workable.”
Key changes being proposed include:
Mr Lambert added: “The main issues continue to surround the transformation to a Principle Designer – which has implications for relationships on construction projects – and how competence will be addressed.
“I encourage members to contribute to the consultation and also share views with ICE to help inform its response.”
The HSE’s 10 week consultation, which is open until June 6th, comes on the back of an independent review of health and safety legislation by Professor Löfsted in 2011.
