Abstract

Provides information particularly relevant to constructional steelwork. It should be noted however, that the principles of CDM primarily affect the structural form and method of construction. Whilst the Regulations do impact on the choice of materials used in construction, it is unlikely that the choice of the primary structural material (e.g. reinforced concrete, timber, structural steelwork) will be based on an application of the Regulations. An explanation of the designer's duties under the Regulations is presented which is equally appropriate to materials other than structural steelwork. Comments are made on some of the hazards which may be considered as specific to structural steelwork.
