Better management of health and safety in construction - case studies
#15 - 0--SHEpro_Admin01--Better management of health and safety in construction - case studies--2004-10-11 11:06:08
#As the 2004 European Week for Safety and Health at Work with its theme of construction approaches, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has published a compilation of 16 cases from EU states where effective action has been taken to achieve better standards of safety and health in the industry. - Achieving better safety and
health in construction
considers
the treatment of a range of issues directly influencing standards in an EU
industry now employing over 13,000,000 persons -
- design and planning;
- effective partnering;
- training;
- site management; and
- risk
assessment.
The cases are very different from one another in that
some are project specific or risk specific, some describe systems implemented
to improve the management of safety and health throughout the industry, but all
illustrate what can be achieved through the co-operation of key players.
The cases are presented in 3 categories:
- design stage;
- construction phase; and
- maintenance phase.
