Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations an organisation or individual for whom a project is carried out must make sure that the CDM Co-ordinator, Designers, Principal Contractors and Contractors that they propose to engage meet the core criteria for demonstration of competence under CDM.
To be deemed compliant with the Regulations, an organisation will need specific knowledge about the tasks that they will be expected to perform and the risks associated with these tasks. Clients can conduct Competency Assessments themselves or, alternatively, may choose to use the services of an independent organisation such as Aegis.
Aegis has personnel experienced in carrying out Competency Assessments on organisations and individuals on behalf of Clients and Principal Contractors.
