Many designers are unaware of their duties under CDM (Construction Design & Management) The designer initiative involved HSE's construction inspectors in Scotland and the North of England meeting designers and planning supervisors on site in a bid to reduce the number of accidents in the construction industry involving falls from height. Falls from height continue to be the most significant cause of fatal accidents on construction sites in the UK and designers have legal duties to avoid foreseeable risks to workers during construction, cleaning and maintenance of the finished structure. Where risks remain, designers are required to provide information that will allow these risks to be properly controlled by others.
