Summary

The Occupational Safety and Health (Construction Work) (Design and Management) Regulations 2024 (CWDM Regulations 2024) is a newly introduced Malaysian regulation aimed at improving safety and health management in construction project covering all phases from planning and design to project completion.

The regulations mandate the appointment of competent persons for design and management roles, proper documentation of safety and health information, and effective coordination between different parties involved in construction projects. Key requirements include the preparation of pre-construction information, construction phase plans, and health and safety files.

The regulations also focus on ensuring proper risk assessment, communication of safety information, and implementation of control measures to prevent accidents and health hazards in construction work. These regulations represent a significant step forward in Malaysia's construction safety framework.
