Construction is one of Britain’s most dangerous industries to be employed in. Statistics from the Health and Safety Executive show it accounted for almost a quarter of all fatalities in the workplace between April 2011 and March 2012. Therefore, if you’re an employer in the construction industry the opportunity to improve the health and safety skills of your staff to equip them with knowledge and expertise they need to help them to stay safe at work really cannot be missed.
