A Clients Guide to Health and Safety for a Construction Project is a fully up-to-date and straightforward guide which aims to assist construction clients in understanding the health and safety duties imposed upon them by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and to help ensure that a project is safe to build, use and maintain. It cuts through the complicated legislation to reveal the difference between non-notifiable and notifiable projects, the role of the CDM Co-ordinator, how to determine the competence of other duty-holders, what may expected from those working within a design team, and any legal liabilities to be aware of. Aimed at the construction client and particularly those who may be new to the role, the guide offers a quick and easy overview of everything you need to stay on the right side of the Regulations - designed to ensure the health and safety of the project over its life and should lead to a successful project delivered on time and on budget.

The Client Role in Successful Construction Projects is a practical guide for clients on how to initiate, procure and manage construction projects and developments. This book is written from the perspective of the client initiating a construction project as part of a business venture and differs from most available construction literature which can externalise the client as a risk to be managed by the design team. The book provides a practical framework for new and novice clients undertaking construction, giving them a voice and enabling them to: Understand the challenges that they and the project are likely to face. Communicate and interact effectively with key stakeholders and professionals within the industry. Understand in straightforward terms where they can have a positive impact on the project. Put in place a client-side due diligence process. Reduce their institutional risk and the risk of project failure. Discover how their standard models are able to co-exist and even transfer to a common client-side procedure for managing a construction project. Written by clients, for clients, this book is highly recommended not only for clients, but for construction industry professionals who want to develop their own skills and enhance their working relationship with their clients. A supporting website for the book will be available, which will give practical examples of the points illustrated in the book and practical advice from specialists in the field.

"It goes a long way in mapping out the agenda for health and safety professionals in this most dangerous and populous industry." Annals of Occupational Hygiene, Derby, United Kingdom Changes in working practices and conditions in the construction industry over the past decade have meant that the competent authorities, health and safety committees, management or employers' and workers' organizations, in particular, should take a fresh look at such aspects as the safety of workplaces, health hazards, and construction equipment and machinery. This code of practice takes account of new areas in the sector which require improved health and safety practices and other protective measures.
