During this period, inspectors will be targeting visits to sites where refurbishment work is being carried out, focussing on the main causes of accidents and ill-health in this high risk sector. These include
- work at height
- site good order
- welfare
- exposure to carcinogens such as silica and asbestos
- manual handling
- noise
- vibration
- exposure to other hazardous substances
During last year’s campaign, 35% of all enforcement notices served were for health issues, and inspectors will again be prioritising the management and control of health risks.
Where serious breaches of legislation are found then immediate enforcement action will be taken, but inspectors will also be taking steps to secure a positive change in behaviour to ensure ongoing compliance. They will also follow up health and safety breaches with clients and designers to reinforce their duties under CDM 2015 and to ensure that all duty holders with on site health and safety responsibilities understand and fulfil these.
Let CRS help you with ensuring you and your organisation are up to date with the NEW CDM 2015 legislation, contact Ros Stacey – or our Sales Team on 01283 509175 for more information
