What if a project is already underway?
The new CDM 2007 Regulations will apply to projects that are already in progress. There are a number of provisions to aid the transition from the old duties to the new e.g. a planning supervisor or principal contractor already appointed under CDM 1994 will be deemed to be the CDM co-ordinator or principal contractor, but they must ensure that they acquire the new competencies within 12 months, if necessary.
