Risk Identification Tool

In the context of the UK Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM), a Risk Identification Tool is a systematic approach or mechanism used to identify and assess potential hazards and risks associated with construction projects. The CDM regulations aim to improve health and safety in the construction industry by ensuring that risks are effectively managed throughout the project lifecycle.

A Risk Identification Tool may take various forms, but its primary purpose is to help dutyholders, such as clients, designers, and contractors, identify and prioritize risks that may arise during the planning, design, construction, and maintenance phases of a project. It facilitates a structured process for identifying hazards, assessing their likelihood and potential consequences, and implementing appropriate control measures to mitigate risks.

A Risk Identification Tool in the context of CDM serves as a valuable resource for dutyholders to proactively identify and manage risks throughout the construction project, ultimately contributing to improved health and safety outcomes for all involved.

Overall, a Risk Identification Tool in the context of CDM serves as a valuable resource for dutyholders to proactively identify and manage risks throughout the construction project, ultimately contributing to improved health and safety outcomes for all involved.
