Health & Safety inspections are a snapshot of a construction site’s safety performance. During a site safety evaluation, our consultants will spot hazards and areas of non-compliance so that your workers go home unharmed and help you to avoid unwanted enforcement action from the Health & Safety Executive.
With the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reporting that the construction industry was responsible for the highest number of workplace fatalities last year - Health & Safety in construction has never been so important.
The best way to make sure your site is safe, is to ensure regular Health & Safety inspections are taking place.
A Health & Safety inspection is key to ensuring the safety of a construction site, workers and visitors. Conducting a Health & Safety inspection assesses the safety regulations in place and identifies any potential hazards on a site. Your inspection findings will also provide a basis for improvement going forward.
We’re here to help you decipher all the legislation you need to understand in order to complete your Health & Safety inspections, so that you can make sure you are keeping your employees and your business safe and protected.
Health and safety requirements start the first day you step onto your construction project, and that means during site set up.
One of the areas construction health and safety advisors will look at when carrying out a site audit is how well the site is set up and that the correct paperwork is in place. These records are evidence of what has been done, and when. Paperwork and documentation are important, and not just to comply with regulations. These documents communicate information to your team that will help them work safely. They also give you a record of the procedures and safety checks in place.
We can advise you on the correct documents and paperwork required and the correct Health & Safety information that needs to be displayed around your site. There are lots of things to remember for health and safety when setting up your construction site, but rest assured BeSure Safety will have you covered!
