CDM seminar 2016: Are you an effective principle designer? Middlesbrough27/09/16

Organisation: ICE
Date: 27/09/16
Time: 4.30pm - 6.30pm

Venue: Stephenson Building Lecture Theatre
Cost: £5
Type: Lecture
Contact: katy.obrien@ice.org.uk
Region: Tees Valley: Tees Valley
Time of Day: Evening
Topic: Design

Engineers are frequently (and perhaps sometimes inadvertently) now taking on the role of Principal Designer under the 2015 CDM regulations.

  • What does the role of Principal Designer generally entail and what does best practice look like?
  • How are other engineers economically addressing the extra responsibilities?

Chaired by ICE branch chair Sarah Kellerman, this seminar will be an open discussion on how working engineers are currently addressing the new regulations.

Quick examples from a range of projects will be introduced for assessment by attendees. This will provide guidance on what can be done and what to avoid when managing the various risks and responsibilities. A nominal charge is being levied for the tea.

The ICE has developed an Ethics Toolkit which will assist civil engineers in identifying the ethical consequences of their work, enabling them to fulfil their professional duties to the public, the environment and to society.

You will have the opportunity to discuss case studies from the toolkit, identifying problems and looking at possible solutions and outcomes. There are a wide range of case studies to discuss meaning that everybody would benefit from attending, including those who have attended another ethics workshop session previously.

This is an excellent opportunity for Graduates and Students to gain a deeper understanding of ethical challenges, and attendance may help towards Attributes 4 (Independent Judgement and Responsibility), 8 (Interpersonal Skills and Communication) and 9 (Professional Commitment).
