| Abstract |
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 have introduced new duties for designers. Early intervention by designers and clients can have a significant impact on construction safety during building, maintenance and demolition. The industry has found the cultural changes necessary for proper designer integration difficult and various projects have been initiated by the Health and Safety Executive to remedy this. It was believed that an analysis of a series of randomly selected incidents might give evidence that designers can do more to improve safety and health in construction. The findings very thoroughly underline the fact that the thinking behind the Regulations is sound and that designers can and should do more. Contents: Executive summary; Background; Project objectives and work phases; Source documents; Author's remarks; Assumptions and processes; Findings; Commentary; Recommendations; Appendices. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.
