Welcome to Health & Safety in Construction 2010

The construction industry accounts for the third highest rate of fatal injuries in 2008/9*

Health & safety continues to be a massive challenge to the UK construction industry.

In its ambition to dramatically reduce work-related injuries and fatalities, the construction industry is committed to improving health & safety at all levels and on all projects. 

To do this, the industry must keep abreast of:

• The latest thinking and priorities from the HSE
• New legislation and case law affecting the industry’s responsibilities
• Innovation and best practice from within the industry

Construction News’ established annual Health & Safety in Construction conference will provide you with an update on HSE strategy, the latest legislation and case law and best practice from sites around the country.

This year’s event promises:

• Insight from the HSE on its overall aims and also its asbestos programme
• First hand experiences from influential clients such as Sainsburys (invited), EDF (invited) and the Olympic Delivery Authority (invited)
• Practical application tips for behavioural safety
• Input from major contractors such as Skanska and Rok Group
  

So if you are keen to provide the safest possible sites for your workforce, attend Health & Safety in Construction 2010.
