Employment Minister Michael Forsyth this week told officials of
construction union UCATT that there was no delay in the
introduction of the new CONDAM health and safety regulations.
In a meeting on Tuesday Forsyth said he would not just rubberstamp the rules but would sign them when a consensus had been reached with the architects who he confirmed were objecting to the regulations.
Forsyth has had the regulations for three months. They were expected to be laid before Parliament on 1 July for implementation on 1 October.
UCATT General Secretary George Brumwell said: 'The Minister has given us some assurance that he has no objections to the CDM regulations. We hope he will also make every effort to persuade the small minority of people in the industry of the value of the regs to the health and safety of construction workers.'
