Health and Safety
- 77 fatal injuries to workers in construction in 2006/7
- estimated that...90,000 people whose current or most recent job in the last year was construction suffered from an illness which was caused or made worse by this job
- 1600 non-fatal injuries per 1,000,000 workers in 2005/06
- 32% of all worker deaths were in the construction industry
- 295.4 major injuries per 100,000 employees in 2006/07
A sustainable business is reliable upon a healthy and safe workforce. In the construction industry alone over 3 million days are lost every year due to occupational ill health. This is a significant burden on the economy and a painful experience for many individuals and their families.
Our target is to have zero RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences) incidents by 2010. As a matter of course, we are fully compliant with all health andsafety legislation and all of our works are carried out under strict adherence to:
- PPE Policy
- Method Statements
- Risk Assessments
- COSHH Assessments
- Permits to Work
