For our purposes we will only concentrate on that part of the CDM
regulations that concern our involvement in the design process.
Definition of a Client.
• An individual or organisation that in the course or furtherance of a
business has a construction project carried out by another or by
himself.
• Insurance Companies: If an insurance company arranges the work
it is the Client, if the insurance company pays but the insured
carries out the work the insured is the Client.
• PFI, PPP etc: The project originators are the Client until the special
purpose vehicle has been set up and has assumed the Client role.
• Where there are a number of client bodies they should elect one of
them to be the Client under the Regulations.
• This excludes domestic clients [but not necessarily domestic
premises] who are defined as someone who lives in or will live in
the work where the work is carried out.

The designer has certain duties to under the regulations as listed
below:
It should be remembered that CDM 2007 does not require “zero” risk
designs. And that the effort to eliminate hazards should be proportionate.
Designers must take into account information passed on by others and
provide the right information to the right people at the right time.

Designers – Recording the Process
Competency
All persons who have duties under CDM 2007 should take reasonable
steps to ensure that persons who are appointed are competent.
Additionally all persons who have duties under CDM 2007 should not
accept an appointment unless they are competent.
Therefore when a design is carried out the designer does not only consider
the theoretical aspects of the design but must be able to

The Risk Assessment Process
The aim of the risk assessment is to identify the level of risk by assigning
it a Risk Rating (R). This is a numerical value which is the mathematical
product of the Severity (S) of a risk and the Likelihood (L) of it occurring.
The designer then makes suggestions for the reduction of the risk and
then carries out the process once again. This may leave what is termed as
a ‘Residual Risk’. This residual risk cannot be removed and so the
contractor’s attention is drawn to this residual risk in order that he can
take preventative action should it be considered necessary.
The numbers used in the risk calculation can vary and are entirely in
under the control, of the designer or his quality management system.
