Almost 3000 lives have been lost in the UK construction industry over the last twenty-five years; in addition to those seriously injured or made ill. The need to reduce this rate has required tight controls to be introduced throughout the planning and management of construction projects in the UK. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 outline the responsibilities and liabilities for the various professionals and agents involved.Straightforward and practical; Understanding the CDM 2007 Regulations demonstrates the rationale behind the regs; covers the duties of the five core duty holders (client; CDM coordinator; designer; principal contractor and contractor); explains the importance of the hazard management process on every project and also sets out the consequences of failing to successfully plan; design and manage for safety.Any client; architect; engineer; CDM co-ordinator; project manager; construction professional; or student will find this a simple but thorough and dependable guide and should value the management toolkit and the numerous practical examples of best practice and guidance on how to use the Approved Code of Practice appropriately. This book shows how to unleash the potential of the regulations and add real value to the industry.

I do wish there were more specific step by step examples by Thom. There were many examples of other artists and styles. just would have like more from Thom. There are two great examples where Thom shows the artist how to go from start to finish.Having said this. I quickly ramped up my ability to render automotive art. I see more chrome. reflections and other nuances within a car reflection than I ever have. Never imagined that I could produce chrome reflections through art. Thom does explain the principle fairly easy.After my first 2 drawings. I actually had a request for a commissioned drawing!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book for the moneyBy CustomerMy first review of this book was harsh. unjust. and unfair. A friend of mine went to graphic design school and got his bachelors degree. I showed him the book and my review and he told me what an idiot I was. He patiently went through the book and explained how the book showed in great detail how the book is perfect for someone who has background experience in graphic design. and I was wrong for buying the wrong book. It would be like an 8th grader buying a book on college calculus and complaining the book doesnt cover algebra very well.This book is excellent. and the artist does a great job in it. This is a book for people with a back ground or at least an advanced level of understanding of what the book covers. The book says "how to draw cars like a pro". a lot of people think that means it goes from basic level drawing. to advanced level. No it starts out at pro level. just like the title suggest. Thats not a bad thing. people like me dont think sometimes when we order books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. OkayBy CustomerOkay. I was hoping for more examples and help.
