14 June 2005 - Construction SHAD Takes
Place in Cardiff
Navigation
A free Construction Safety and Health Awareness Day (SHAD) is
taking place in Cardiff at Glamorgan Cricket Club, Sophia Gardens, on 12th July.
The special Working Well Together event will provide smaller construction
companies an opportunity to find out about the latest developments in improving
health and safety.
The event is targeting small contractors employing fewer than 15
people, sole traders and the self-employed.
The event is the result of a partnership between the Federation
of Master Builders, local authorities, and large construction companies working
in the region.
Advice will be given on:
HSE Principal Inspector commented:
"Last year seven people died in the construction sector in
Wales. This is a terrible waste of life which could be avoided. On average 75%
of all people killed in construction work for companies employing fewer than 15
people. That is why we want small enterprises to take action to improve their
health and safety performance. The emphasis of the day is very much about giving
practical advice. To show how risks on site can be eliminated, minimised and
controlled in a practical, simple, no nonsense way. It is about sharing
experiences, best practice and learning from each other. We are keen to provide
help for the industry, by the industry."
