OK,
This has been quiet for a few days now so I'm guessing that we'll have no more posts.
CDM affects almost all of us in EVERY job we do.
IT DOES NOT KICK IN after so many days etc. it kicks in as soon as we undertake ANY work within the SCOPE of the regulations.
Check out CDM Reg 2 part e, under the definition of "construction work"!
This is SI 2007 No. 320.
The ACoP is L144, both are free to download from what was the ODPM, or HSE accordingly.
I did this poll as research.
There is quite a lot of confusion even with H&S professionals with regard to this!
I was wondering how actual practicing sparks understood their obligations.
So, you were all Guinea Pigs, not just Specs!
CDM is statutory legislation.
You all worry about complying with 7671 which is "nothing" in law.
Statutory legislation, which if not complied with can end you up arrested by the Police and imprisoned seems to be poorly understood.
There are many other examples.
However, IF you are wiring buildings CDM, WAH, and many other pieces of Statute Law, that is the Law of the Land, where by you IF you fall foul of them, you will end up being prosecuted by the Police & or HSE & or LA EHO's and could end up with a CRIMINAL record, are poorly understood by the looks of things!
Larnacaman,
The reason for this was the incremental change to their status towards becoming a British Standard.
Before long they may become a B.S. E.N. Std. thought this will be difficult as we use ring mains! At the moment...
Thanks for your input guys I appreciate it.
If you have any questions I will now take them...
Thank you for your patience!!!
