The outcome of the public consultation on the proposals to revise the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007), are due to be considered by the HSE board on 13 August 2014.
One of the cases made was to develop a new, shorter signposting AcoP, which will be complemented by HSE and joint-industry guidance.
As expected, the consultation has created much debate within the industry, a factor which HSE acknowledges within the ‘next steps’ section of the document: “What has emerged from the consultation is a strong degree of agreement on the board proposals tempered by a diverse range of often opposing views on the details of the proposals.”
The consultation received over 1,400 responses, which is among the highest of any consultation undertaken by HSE.

“What has emerged from the consultation is a strong degree of agreement on the board proposals tempered by a diverse range of often opposing views on the details of the proposals.” – it sounds like the decisions are largely already made by the tone of the language used in the quote.
