According to the latest HSE figures, over 4000 major accidents are reported each year (fractures, amputations, unconsciousness, loss of sight, electric shocks etc), and that's why the construction industry has set its own targets to reduce the rate of fatal and major injuries by 66% by 2009/10.
In addition over 70 fatalities occurred on sites between April 2004 and March 2005 - of which 70% are whilst working on small construction projects.
Joanna added: "Making sure that building sites of small and medium sized building companies are safe has risen up the agenda with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) now making thousands of random site inspections every year.
"Building companies have a legal obligation to demonstrate that they take their responsibilities seriously and that they have done as much as is reasonably practicable to safeguard their employees, subcontractors and general public".
How It Works.
Developed in partnership with leading health and safety professionals, Health and Safety Xpert encourages an active approach to health and safety on building sites across the country.
All users have to do is tell Health and Safety Xpert what they are building and it simply does the rest, automatically producing Company Health and Safety Policies, Risk Assessments, COSHH Assessments, Construction Phase Health and Safety Plans, forms required by the HSE, and many more essential documents.
It has already proved to have saved builders huge amounts of time, quickly guiding them through the crucial paper work that's required under current UK law, including the Health and Safety At Work Act 1974 and Construction Design Management (CDM) Regulations 1994.
In addition Health and Safety Xpert is a fraction of the ongoing costs that builders pay for consultant's fees. Request a free brochure from HBXL ...
