Week 9 : Safety and Health Act (CDM)

On this week module, I have learnt about the Construction Design and Management (CDM) regulations in United Kingdom, which similar to Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) the health and safety regulation in Malaysia.

The aim of Construction Design and Management (CDM)  is to improving the overall management and co-ordination of health, safety and welfare throughout all stages of a construction project to reduce the large number of serious and fatal accidents and cases of ill health which happen every year in the construction industry.

No matter in which country, there sure have their own health and safety regulation,their aim normally will not have much different, which is to provide a welfare for the employees. Therefore, these regulation must be strictly to be follow.
