EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO
THE CONSTRUCTION (DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT) REGULATIONS
2015
2015 No. 51
1. This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and is
laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty.
2. Purpose of the instrument
2.1 This instrument (“the 2015 Regulations”) is intended to protect persons from
health and safety risks arising from construction work through the establishment of a
systematic framework for management of those risks. The instrument revokes and
replaces the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.
3. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments
3.1 None
4. Legislative Context
4.1 The 2015 Regulations implement Commission Directive 92/57/EEC (“the 1992
Directive”) of 24 June 1992 on the implementation of minimum safety and health
requirements at temporary or mobile constructions sites. In recognition of the high
risks associated with construction work, there is a long history of legislation of
specific application to health and safety in construction work. The 2015 Regulations
update the approach taken by the 2007 Regulations which preceded them, which in
turn built on the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 which
represent the first implementation of the 1992 Directive into GB legislation.
4.2 The 2015 Regulations are shorter and more linear in structure than the 2007
Regulations and aim to facilitate better understanding by the small businesses which
predominate in the construction industry. The 2015 Regulations also provide for a
more streamlined and less bureaucratic approach to co-ordination of health and safety
information during construction projects.
4.3. The 2015 Regulations are deregulatory, and some gold plating of Directive
requirements has been removed whilst maintaining or improving necessary standards
of worker protection.
4.4 A transposition note is attached at Appendix 1.
4.5 A summary of Parliamentary scrutiny of proposals for the 1992 Directive is
attached at Appendix 2.
5. Territorial Extent and Application
5.1 This instrument applies to Great Britain.
5.2 In addition it applies to premises and activities outside Great Britain by virtue of
the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (Application Outside Great Britain)
Order 2013.
6. European Convention on Human Rights
6.1 As the instrument is subject to the negative resolution procedure and does not
amend primary legislation, no statement is required.
7. Policy background
7.1 In 2011-12 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) undertook a post-
implementation evaluation of the 2007 Regulations. These Regulations are the
principal vehicle for regulating the health and safety of those carrying out
construction work and those affected by such work. The industry has around 2.1
million workers and remains one of the most dangerous in which to work.
7.2 Whilst it was found that there was broad support for the structured approach to the
management of health and safety risks which the 2007 Regulations maintained from
the 1994 Regulations, concerns emerged in three key areas.
7.3 First, it was felt that the co-ordination function delivered under the 2007
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (‘CDM’) by the ‘CDM co-
ordinator’ – a role defined by those Regulations – was not in many cases well-
embedded in construction projects. As a result it was often felt to add considerable
cost without concomitant benefit.
7.4 Second, there were concerns that the prescriptive and detailed approach taken in
the 2007 Regulations to the competence of the construction workforce had
increasingly driven the industry to adopt bureaucratic, costly and repetitive systems
for the demonstration of competence, where the focus was often on the process rather
than the outcome.
7.5 Third, the construction industry showed a strong tendency to over-interpret both
the Regulations and their supporting Approved Code of Practice (ACOP), adding to
the bureaucratic burden of the Regulations.
7.6 The 2015 Regulations retain the key elements of worker protection from the 2007
Regulations and the 1992 Directive itself but seek to deliver them in a more
streamlined and easily understandable way, using language which has been
modernised and simplified. The 2015 Regulations, supporting guidance and revised
ACOP should be significantly more accessible to small businesses, which are
disproportionately represented in the risk profile of the industry and should provoke a
more proportionate approach than was the case with the 2007 Regulations.
7.7 The 2015 Regulations will revoke and replace the 2007 Regulations.
8. Consultation outcome
8.1 The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out a ten week public consultation
on the proposed 2015 Regulations between 31 March and 6 June 2014. This was
preceded by an extensive period of stakeholder consultation. The consultation
document and response form were made available on the HSE website at
http://www.hse.gov.uk/consult/condocs/cd261.htm.
8.2 More than 55,000 construction industry and health and safety stakeholders were
advised of the consultation through direct contact, HSE’s construction web
community and electronic ‘Infonet’ bulletin. These included construction companies
across all professions, trade associations, central and local government bodies, non-
governmental organisations and trade unions.
8.3 HSE received 1427 responses to the consultation. On balance, a third of
respondents supported the proposals overall, another third offered more qualified
support with reservations expressed about the detail of the proposals. The principal
areas of concern were the clarity of drafting relating to the application of the
regulations to domestic construction clients, and over the more general approach
proposed regarding competence. Concerns were also expressed about the lack of
transitional provisions relating to the change from the CDM co-ordinator role to the
principal designer. These matters have been addressed through amendments to these
Regulations post-consultation. Drafting has been improved for clarity where
necessary and the 2015 Regulations now provide for a six-month transition between
the existing CDM co-ordinator role and the proposed principal designer role for
construction projects extant at their date of coming into effect. Whilst some
respondents were dismissive of the need for any change, the redrafting has maintained
the broad structure of the consultation draft as to do otherwise would not deliver the
policy objectives of significant simplification of the Regulations and better integration
of the construction phase co-ordination function.
8.4 Only 33% of respondents supported the removal of the ACOP. On this basis HSE
has proposed that a new ACOP be published in support of the 2015 Regulations,
which will be subject to a separate consultation exercise in 2015.
9. Guidance
9.1 Given the diversity of size and type of organisations operating in the construction
industry there is a clear need, supported strongly by consultation feedback, for
appropriate materials to support the 2015 Regulations. HSE is therefore revising the
‘Guide to the Regulations’ (L144). This will be published in draft form on the HSE
website at least twelve weeks in advance of the Regulations coming into force. This
guidance will be supported by a suite of six joint HSE-industry guides which will
focus on the requirements for the various duty holders defined in the 2015
Regulations, in the context of small and medium-sized construction sites, which will
be published before the 2015 Regulations come into force.
9.2 The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will additionally publish a series of
project-specific ‘template guides’ aimed at the needs of micro-businesses which will
clearly signpost what a proportionate and risk-based approach to compliance means in
practice.
10. Impact
10.1 The 2015 Regulations are likely to result in a £19.6 million ‘out’ under One In,
Two Out (OITO). Including the elements that are out of scope of OITO and have a net
cost to business, the proposal as a whole is likely to provide an average annual net
saving to business of £12.4 million per annum. The final stage impact assessment will
be published with this Explanatory Memorandum on www.legislation.gov.uk.
11. Regulating small business
11.1 The legislation applies to small businesses. Small businesses (including the self-
employed) cannot be exempted as they are not exempt from the Directive.
11.2 To minimise the effect of the requirements on small firms employing up to 20
people, a number of approaches have been taken. First, the simpler structure of the
2015 Regulations compared with the 2007 Regulations should facilitate understanding
and compliance. Second, due to changes in the threshold for notification of
construction projects to HSE, around 50% fewer notifications will be required. Third,
the guidance prepared by both HSE and HSE jointly with the construction industry is
aimed at the needs of small business and promotes a proportionate and risk-based
approach to the requirements.
11.3 In consulting on the proposed changes HSE consulted direct with small
construction businesses and worked closely with both trade associations specific to
the industry and those representing small businesses more widely. HSE also worked
through the tripartite Construction Industry Advisory Committee on which small
business are represented.
12. Monitoring & review
12.1 The 2015 Regulations contain a provision for periodic review by the Secretary of
State. The first report must be published within five years of the date of coming into
force of the Regulations and subsequently at periods not exceeding five years.
13. Contact
13.1 Anthony Lees at the Health and Safety Executive (tel. 020 7556 2191 or email
[email protected]) can answer queries regarding the instrument.

Appendix 2
UK Parliamentary scrutiny history of proposals for Directive 92/57/EEC
1. An explanatory memorandum (EM) (Scrutiny reference 8075/90) on the
original Council proposal for the Directive was referred to the Commons
European Legislation Committee and the Lords Select Committee on the
European Communities.
2. The Lords sub-Committee C subsequently cleared the EM (Progress of
Scrutiny 20 November 1990).
3. The Commons Committee considered it politically important and for
consideration by the House (Report No 2, session 1990/91) and it was debated
in European Standing Committee B on 20 March 1991.
4. A further EM (Scrutiny reference 5831/91) was produced following an
amended proposal to take account of the European Parliament’s first opinion.
5. The Lords Committee cleared this by Chairman’s sift and the Commons
Committee cleared it as important but not for debate (Report No 22, session
1990/91).
6. Letters were sent in February 1992 advising the Scrutiny Committees of the
common position text which did not contain significant amendments.
