The Association for Project Safety (APS) sets out to create the principles of best practice in fulfilling the requirements of the Construction Design Management Regulations 2007 (CDM). It strives to achieve this by publishing Practice and Guidance notes along with model documents and procedures and also by providing practice and legal advice to its members on issues pertaining to the CDM Regulations and Health and Safety generally. APS members are encouraged to provide a proportionate and effective service so that the benefits of the Regulations can be fully realised just as they were intended.
The Association for Project Safety (a Registered Company, Limited by Guarantee) has been established to provide all those working as CDM Coordinators under the terms of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 with an advisory and representative body to assist development of this field and activity. The Association is a multi-disciplinary body for all who work as CDM Coordinators in the UK, enabling the Construction Industry to respond to the demand for CDM Coordinators who are both trained and monitored. The Association provides a Forum in which the necessary knowledge base can be developed and disseminated, guidance and training for CDM Coordinators and for others affected by the Regulations, and a central source of information for clients seeking CDM Coordinators.
