Managing Contractors - CDM
Overview
There have been major health and safety improvements within the
construction industry, but there were still 51 fatalities during
the 2010-11 period. Managing contractors and lifting operations
have featured amongst accidents and prosecutions.
Tom Miller, of
Ward Hadaway, will provide an overview on the legal duties
to manage contractors with a specific focus on recent
prosecutions.
This session has been prepared to be relevant for those with a
non-CDM function. Those with a CDM role will be able to relate this
session to specific CDM roles. Even if your project is not
notifiable under the CDM Regs, how do they affect you? It could be
a small company building an extension on your property or carrying
out maintenance work. How should you control them and ensure you
don't fail in your duties to manage contractors?
Gordon McLeod from Mammoet Cranes will
discuss contractors' duties under LOLER and the difference between
contract lifts and crane hire, including:
- Requirements of LOLER
- Industry best practice BS 7121 part 3 requirements
- Contract lift versus CPA hire (the hybrid hire)
- Current industry standards and CPA best practice guide
requirements.
What's in it for me
This event will allow you to learn and understand how to manage
contractors under CDM and what your duties are under LOLER (Lifting
Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations).
Who should attend?
Members and their managers in organisations where CDM and/or
LOLER applies.
