The revised Construction (Design and Management) Regulations have been delayed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) until Spring 2007, instead of the previously intended implementation date of 1 October 2006. The new Regulations will combine the provisions of the existing Construction (Design and Management) Regulations SI 1994/3140 and the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations SI 1996/1592, into a single piece of legislation. They will be supported by an Approved Code of Practice and industry produced guidance, and the HSE will make a final draft of this available three months before the Regulations come into force.
