Abstract
A brief review of accident history and the introduction of health and safety legislation in the UK is included. The main requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations are reviewed together with enforcement by the Health and Safety Executive. The problems associated with implementing the Regulations are addressed, based on findings from practitioners. Client involvement is discussed in relation to the timing of appointments and the assessing of competence for principal contractors. Designer involvement is analysed in relation to awareness and assessment of risk, the recognition of the planning supervisor's role and transfer of requirements to operational safety on site. Finally, an approach to design and management is recommended with increased client and designer involvement.
