Overview • TheClients CDM Compliance Kit has been specifically designed to assist Clients to comply with their duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM). • The software has been written by practising Construction Safety Professionals who have a detailed understanding and knowledge of both the construction industry and health and safety legislation. • We have also worked with a wide variety of both public and private clients, so we understand the needs and requirements of such organisations. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
What does it do? The software assists Clients by: • Providing a wide range of standard templates/proforma’s • Making sure clients are aware of their duties • Providing systems and guidance on the assessment of the competence & resources of designers, contractors and CDM Co-ordinators • Guidance on the requirements for Pre-Construction Health & Safety Information Packs • Systems for assessing the suitability of the Construction Phase H&S Plan • Provides prompts as to what & when, a client needs to take action, thereby ensuring compliance with the CDM Reg’s • It also provides an audit trail of the actions taken www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
How is this achieved? This is achieved in a variety of ways including: • The provision of checklists which outline the duties and roles of the Client at each stage of a project • Acting as an aide memoir to ensure Clients are aware of the actions they need to take, whilst also providing an auditable record of the actions taken • Enabling Design Safety Statements (DSS), Design Safety Reviews (DSR), Design Risk Assessments (DRA) and Hazard Registers to be prepared, these provide an ideal mechanism to communicate information with other parties www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
How is this achieved? (Cont.) • The provision of a wide range of example documents (MS Word format) which can be accessed at the appropriate work stage by clicking on the shortcut button located at the side of the audit records • Documents which can be edited and amended by the user and are entirely customisable to allow for the specific Client requirements to be catered for • Links to the other modules within the Compliance Kit are also provided, this enables users to quickly switch between modules as and when required www.SafetyServicesDirect.com

Ensuring Compliance • Whilst the Clients CDM Compliance Kit will not automatically make a project safer, it will help you to manage project safety matters and ensure all parties are aware of their duties and obligations under CDM, it will also help you to ensure you are discharging your legal duties under CDM 2007. • Furthermore the integral audit facility will allow Clients to review and assess the actions taken by their staff during the life of a project www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
Features & Benefits • The following slides provide more information on the key features and modules of the Clients CDM Compliance Kit • Whilst we have not included all of the features and modules included within the software, we feel that the following slides should provide a comprehensive overview of the product and its features • The only computer skills you need to operate the software is to know how to point a mouse, click the mouse buttons and use the keyboard to type in text www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
Once loaded, the first screen you will encounter is the Main Switchboard. This enables users to view supporting information, create a new project, open an existing project or exit the software. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
Whenever you open an existing project or create a new project, you will see the Project Safety Record HOME PAGE. This screen provides you with links to each of the software modules and information associated with a particular project. By entering the Project Title and No. on the Home Page, it is automatically transferred to each of the other modules. To access the project data, simply click on the relevant button on the left hand side of the screen. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
The first module is that of the Design Safety Statement, this should be prepared at the start of a project (and updated as necessary) and is used to specify any key information such as the general design criteria and parameters. It can also be used to record details of any existing information that is relevant to the project and which may restrict the design or generate specific hazards. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
The Project Directory is simply used to record the details of the key parties involved in the project, this includes not only the core design team, but also other designers, the Principal Contractors and other key contractor who will be involved as the project progresses www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
The main element of the software consists of the audit records for each of the project stages. This informs users of their duties and the required actions whilst enabling a full audit record to be prepared. The buttons on the right hand side of the screen provide a link to the MS Word documents and other modules within the Clients CDM Compliance Kit. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
Another key element is that of the Design Risk Assessment (DRA) module. This assists users to identify hazards and those affected, whilst also enabling a rapid assessment of the risk to be carried out. Whilst most Clients may not intend to carry out any design work, the specification of project requirements may involve the client in a design role! Each assessment is carried out on a separate page and there is no limit to the number of assessments that can be completed. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
To enable the effective transfer of information between the members of the project team, information such as the DRA’s can be printed off as shown here, or alternatively it can be exchanged electronically as Adobe Acrobat Files (PDF) or Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI) Format. Neither of these format’s require the recipient to have access to the Clients CDM Compliance Kit. To create electronic files you need to have the Adobe Acrobat Software or Microsoft Document Imaging loaded on your PC. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
The Design Safety Reviews enable key information relevant to the hazards associated with the project to be recorded. Separate DSR’s can be completed for each project stage and the information provides a useful format for sharing the information with other project members. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
