What are the templates based on?
The regulations and the HSE's own guidance. The CDM document templates follow the lists of contents in HSE guidance L153, Appendices 2, 3 and 4, and every section names the regulation or paragraph behind it. Every check on a checklist names the regulation it comes from, or states plainly that it is good practice rather than law.
Will a template make my CDM paperwork compliant?
A template makes sure nothing the regulations ask for is forgotten. What makes a document compliant is that its contents describe the actual job. What goes in each CDM document explains the difference, document by document.
Will more downloads be added?
Yes. New templates, checklists and site posters are added here as they are made, and every one of them is free on the same terms.

The same records,
The same records,
without the paper.
On the platform these stop being sheets. The check, the person, the date, the photograph and the action that followed are recorded as the work runs and retrieved by site.
