STATEMENT FROM THE HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGER TERRY CASBOLT
“Health and Safety is the number one issue for CONSTRUCT and all of its members”
2013 to 2014 has seen the specialist sector of RC Frame Construction grow considerably, which by its very nature has meant the number of people we now have working for us has risen sharply, but once again CONSTRUCT members have risen to meet this challenge face on with their proactive approach to Health, Safety and the Environment, and have achieved excellent results as shown by the accident statistics for 2013. Obviously there is always room for improvement and we must continue to work hard to ensure our industry leads the way in accident prevention.
I hope as you review the accident statistics summarised in this document you reflect on the statement Neil Mitchell, a past CONSTRUCT Chairman, said in a previous Health and Safety Statement “that the main aim and objective of all CONSTRUCT members is that every day we send all who work for us on our sites, home safely to their families”. I, as the current Health and Safety Manager, endorse this statement and believe this to be true of our members today.

The graph thankfully shows that there have been no reportable accidents involving women on CONSTRUCT member projects over this period. It may also indicate that perhaps there is a need for us to try and encourage more women to come into the concrete frame sector of the Construction industry.
