Construction

British Safety Council has strong membership representation in the construction sector. The construction sector interest group comprises senior representatives drawn from our member organisations in the UK.

Our construction group meet four times a year to discuss key policy and regulatory issues surrounding health and safety in the industry. This group gives industry experts the chance to share their experiences, knowledge and achievements which are fundamental to creating and maintaining excellent practice.

We held a meeting of our Construction SIG on Wednesday 9 July, in London, chaired by Persimmon Homes plc. The day included an update from our sister charity Mates in Mind, which works with employers in construction on mental health and suicide risk, as well as sessions on psychosocial risk and stress, led by British Safety Council Director of Wellbeing, Stephen Haynes, and a legal update from Chris Green, Partner at Keoghs. The SIG also discussed latest developments in health, safety and wellbeing in the sector, and considered what it would focus on in future meetings. The next meeting is due to be held around November / December.
