Value
​Starting from a collaborative initiative on the M1 J28-35 SMP scheme, between a small group of consultants in April 2016, the Principal Designer Working Group has now become an established authoritative body on all things CDM. The group has representatives from most major consultancies and contractors working for National Highways on major projects, the Operational community on Areas 1 and 9, and from different interest groups within National Highways. Our current focus is supporting National Highways in the review of existing documentation. Individual working groups are advising on issues such as Asbestos Management, Implementation of CDM 2015, the requirements for Pre - Construction Information, the future H&S File structure and Project Control Framework documents. This work is an immediate requirement, driven by changes elsewhere, which need to be reflected in current Highways England documentation.
Richard Wilson (Health and Safety Director - Major Projects / SES Directorate) has recently taken over as Chair of the group, to help drive our aim of facilitating closer links between the design and contracting communities, to secure improved designer hazard elimination during the pre-construction phase and reduce the number of hazards passed on to contractors. By working alongside the established National Highways  Health and Safety hub, the Principal Designer Working Group will drive the further reduction in hazards during the whole life of schemes. The agreed Terms of Reference for the group is set out below. This is supported by a detailed Action Plan.

Objectives
• To proactively support the delivery of Highways England Home, Safe and Well initiative.
• To improve the health, safety and welfare (including the Occupational Health) aspects of designs produced by the supply chain including behavioural change.
• To provide guidance to the supply chain based on best practice and lessons learnt from on-going design work
• To provide input from a principal designer role perspective to complimentary health, safety and welfare groups.
• To develop consistent design health, safety and occupational health approaches across all aspects of the sector to drive improvements in construction, use, maintenance and operation, of the strategic road network, including dismantling and decommissioning of structures.

Action Plan
• Support Highways England design documentation updates
O Interim Advice Notes
O PCF products
O DMRB update etc
• Support Highways England Health, Safety and Welfare documentation updates
O Raising the Bar
O Good practice toolkit
• Identify key designer actions within the 5-year plan and Home, Safe and Well initiative and provide direct support to action owners
• Report examples of good practice and share these with the wider community
• Develop consistent design delivery processes – e.g. similar to Network Rail requirements, particularly to support a Common Data Environment for BIM
• Develop cross-industry links for continuous improvement e.g. rail, nuclear, water etc
