Health and Safety

ConstructionSkills fully recognises the duties placed upon it under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and all other relevant legislation. The organisation is committed to ensuring it at least complies with the minimum requirements and wherever reasonably practicable shall exceed them. It also recognises the obligations it has to others with regard to its activities including the funding bodies in UK responsible for provision of youth training as well as other partners in relation to delivery of training. The organisation is committed to working with these partners to ensure a safe and healthy working environment.

The organisation recognises the duties it has to not only its staff, but also to trainees, contractors, visitors and any others who may be affected by its activities and shall adopt the principle of zero tolerance with regard to accident prevention. This principle is underpinned by the acceptance of the organisation that no accident at work is acceptable.

ConstructionSkills also recognises the position it holds within the Construction Industry and as such is committed to the production of high quality health and safety training materials. The organisation will also work toward attaining a position of Exemplar in Health and Safety, the benefits of which will be shared with industry.
