Malcom Smith suggested that from CDM meetings that he has attended, the larger companies appear to understand the new Regs less! Cyril Campbell suggested that the domestic client would be more likely and easier to be prosecuted. He also mentioned that the CIBT App can be used for the construction phase plan as it has been endorsed by the HSE.
