New construction industry research to broaden understanding of how CDM Principal Designer role is working in practice

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has urged the construction industry to get involved in new research to help develop a picture of the benefits and challenges of the principal designer (PD) role under Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM).

It is inviting organisations and individuals who have experience of the PD role, regardless of the project size, to take part in an online survey. Survey questions will ask how the PD role is being implemented, to broaden understanding of the benefits of the role as well as the challenges of implementing it.

The 30-minute survey can be found here. The deadline for submissions is 5 March.
