This episode explains the changes. The new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 came into force on 6 April 2007 replacing the role of planning supervisor with that of CDM co-ordinator, imposing greater obligations on clients and removing the ability for clients to appoint an agent on their behalf. For those involved with on-going projects that commenced before 6 April and under the existing 1994 Regulations, certain transitional provisions apply.
