1 February 2005 - New HSE Web Page for
Construction Division's Programme of Work
Navigation
A new web page within the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's)
website has been created for the Construction Division's Programme of Work
2004/05, part of the Revitalising Health and Safety (RHS) strategy and is made
up of the following 4 main portfolios:
-
Safety
-
Health
-
CDM Dutyholders
-
Strategic Stakeholders.
The RHS was implemented due to concerns that no improvements had
been seen to be made in the numbers of injuries occurring within workplaces
since the early 1990's. The Health and Safety at Work Act (1994) was
the most recent law for health and safety at work, therefore the Government and
the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) deemed it necessary to act, by putting
more effort into the management of health and safety with the aim of reducing
these figures.
