CITB has been commended for its CDM Wizard app.

The team behind the app received its recognition at the prestigious Construction Health and Safety Group (CHSG) Annual Awards in London in March.

The commendation was for the Beaufort Award – a trophy awarded to an individual or company for implementing a new device or method of working that prevents accidents in construction.

The CDM Wizard app, which has been downloaded over 50,000 times since its launch last year, has had rave reviews by people from across the industry.

Professor Iain Cameron said, “It makes a tough-looking task straightforward and achievable,” while others have described it as “very easy to use” and a “very useful and productive app.”

Kevin Fear, Health and Safety Strategy Lead at CITB, said:“Winning this award is great promotion for the app. The app is getting seen by the people who will benefit from it and therefore ensuring individuals in the industry are safe and healthy on site – that’s the important thing.”

The CDM Wizard app has been successful in reaching small businesses working on domestic projects as well as larger employers. The app has also attracted use from colleges, universities and major contractors.
