HSE Tightens Safety Checks
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are responding to a rise in workplace related accidents by vowing to carry out more surprise checks on construction and refurbishment sites. Between 2010 and 2011, it was reported that 50 people died and more than 2000 people were seriously injured in accidents that could have been avoided if simple practical precautions had been taken into consideration. HSE officials will be visiting sites to ensure that they are operating safely and within the relevant legal guidelines in a new initiative aimed at reducing these kinds of accidents. Any building sites they find that are being managed poorly and, as a result, are presenting unnecessary risks to workers, will have action taken against them. The inspections will cover all aspects of on-site health and safety, from high risk activities such as working at heights and in confined spaces, to more common sense regulations that include ‘good order’ and checking that the site is generally clean and tidy with safe, clear access routes. Ensuring your site is running in strict compliance with the relevant health and safety regulations will not only help you avoid penalties, fines and legal action, but it will also help your site run more efficiently. Effective health and safety is proven to reduce absences and sick leave and speed up processes, and the investment in protecting and training your workers will help you retain staff. Health and Safety Training Ltd have been delivering quality training for many years and have developed a comprehensive repertoire of courses - from general safety on site and first aid, to specific training on equipment and machinery that will ensure that operatives fulfil their responsibilities in relation to health and safety. All of our courses are approved by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and accredited by the leading industry bodies and authorities, so if you need any guidance or training before the HSE officials visit your site, make sure you give us a call.
