LABC pitch in as HSE report highlights surprise increase in construction fatalities
LABC pitch in to help health & safety and sustainability for SMEs as the number of fatalities in construction takes a surprising hike upwards. HSE go back on the offensive with an intensive inspection initiative.
This nationally important joint campaign between Local Authority Building Control and CESW (as part of the Working Well Together Campaign) is about to commence in the South West. FMB and ConstructionSkills will also be involved. Anna Thompson, Director of Training at LABC, has been pioneering this initiative from her organisation's perspective.
Tom Harper of CESW FF notes, “LABC are being very proactive in responding to the Donaghy report and the HSE’s LACE initiative, both of which are aimed at improving health and safety. I am delighted that this next step is starting in the South West where we have piloted a number of ideas along these lines. I would ask all larger contractors to help us if, when and where we need a trainer. The larger companies in this region have been great at doing this for our county wide events. We really cannot thank them enough”.
All counties will see free training offered locally to SMEs. Details of all venues will be issued shortly. The training day will be a mix of training in sustainable construction skills and health & safety.
