Construction Safety

With the construction industry under increasing pressure from the authorities and a growing burden of legislation companies need to be able to react and adapted to the changing scene.

The level of fatalities and major injuries has fluctuated in recent years but any number of deaths or disabling injuries is too many.

Recent government campaigns have targeted areas for improvement such as working at height, traffic movements, manual handling and lifting operations.

Changes in the Asbestos regulations have also made more clients aware of the growing emphasis on competence of their workforce and schemes such as CSCS skills cards and other trade linked skills indicators which are helping to improve site based safety.

The culture of "blame an claim" is also well established and whole new sector has grown out of the "no win, no fee" approach and with increased awareness among employees it is essential that companies understand the need to reduce instances of incident and accident.
