27 May 2004 - Welsh Dates for FaTaL Risks Campaign Released
June 7, 8 & 9 will see the HSE construction inspectors in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire as part of the FaTaL Risks Campaign 2004. Construction sites in Wales saw 6 deaths last year, which the campaign has hopes of reducing in future years.
HSE wishes construction project participants from client to contractors to consider and be proactive on the important issues set out in the HSE Campaign Guidance Sheet found here.
Chantal Nicholls HSE Principle Inspector for construction in Wales commented:
"The statistics seem to indicate that construction is a risky business. My message is simple, it doesn't have to be. What we are aiming to do over this blitz period in West Wales is to highlight to companies how they can eliminate, minimise and control those areas of greatest risk on their sites, in a practical, common-sense way. We want to support those businesses that are trying to get things right, but will take action against those who are paying lip service or ignoring their obligations to their employees and others who may be affected by the work they are doing."
