What is CDM2007 About?
The CDM2007.org website is created by Bromley Council and managed by Bromley Council as a central e-learning portal for the benefit of ALL other public bodies
Why have we done this?
- The new CDM2007 Regulations require all duty holders to be competent to undertake their legal duties
- There is no professional body addressing the needs of the corporate ‘legal person’ undertaking construction related operations
- The law requires ALL duty holders to be able to prove they are competent within the first 12 months following the introduction of CDM2007 – the proof is required from 6 April 2008 by law!
- Through joining into the scheme of CDM2007.org and maintaining continuous membership, each organisation will have the means to gain the necessary level of knowledge and understanding for their teams through an accredited on-line e-learning process and be able to register the training to prove they are competent as the law requires
- Being part of the scheme keeps each organisation in touch with a unified and accredited pool of knowledge and practice accepted by the HSE
Measures of success?
Initial early contact was made by David Bartlett – Chief Executive of Bromley Council to all other local authority CEOs throughout the UK and within a very short time a substantial number had responded to the call for support for the creation of CDM2007.org.
