What is CDM?
CDM refers to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, the most recent set of regulations that domestic and commercial construction Health and Safety projects in the UK must adhere to. Whether you are a homeowner arranging a self-build or restoration project or are representing a large-scale commercial construction of, you must comply with CDM regulations.
What is a CDM Principal Designer?
In 2015, the CDM regulations introduced the duty holder role of ‘Principal Designer’. The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) stipulates that a Principal Designer is the individual or appointed company to oversee and manage the pre-construction phase of any project involving more than one building contractor.
The Principal Designer (whether an individual or organisation) must demonstrate that they have the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience (or organisational capability if a business) to carry out this very important duty holder position.

Central Leisure Developments has worked with USP and in particular with Kevin Kerin for several years now to obtain all of our health and safety requirements across a broad range of exhibition projects from on-site installation to workshop safety. His knowledge and understanding of our practices and working methods ensure that all documentation is not only accurate but informative to all our staff. Time is not always on our side with the projects but we can rely on Kevin and the USP team to produce the documentation we need on time and in full every time, I would highly recommend Kevin and his team at USP to anyone’s business.
