Property development industry, ‘ignorant’ about health and safety measures
Health and Safety Executives (HSE) campaign aims at people who are working in the property development sector. HSE says that it intends to increase the awareness and responsibility among people working in the sector.
Last year, over 38 people had lost their lives in construction refurbishment, maintenance and repair as reported by the organisation.
It is the liability of property renovators, investors and developers to cut down on the number of destructions and accidents that happen in this sector.
Bob Blackman, from Unite Union, reported that the size of the property should not be a matter of concern. What should really matter is the health and safety of the employees that helps in the smooth and successful running of the organisation. It should not be treated as a cost that needs to be slashed down.
According to HSE, people who are at the moment working in the property development sector are oblivious and unaware of the legal obligations which fall under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.
Companies who try to cut down on the costs of health and safety could find their corporation in trouble in the long run, stated Ted Kenrick, technical and risk solutions manager at Norwich Union Risk Services (NURS).
People who work in the property developments and are responsible for shouldering safety may find the NEBOSH Certificate in Construction Safety and Health very vital for expanding their knowledge.
