Occupational Health in the Construction Industry
"Employers have a duty of care to ensure as far as reasonably practical, the health, safety and welfare of its employees"
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Section 2.
The facts…..
- The construction industry has 1.9 million workers in the UK.
- 572 construction workers were killed by accidents at work 1997-2004.
- 83% work for small firms employing three or less workers.
- Much work is peripatetic, travelling from site to site and staying only for the duration of the project.
- Sickness absence costs the construction industry more than £1102M pa.
Crossland Occupational Health's mobile occupational health screening facility can attend different sites to screen employee's health where the head office is in a different location. This minimises time employees spend away from work and the need to allocate a room.
Crossland Occupational Health work with your company to provide an effective health surveillance programme, in line with current HSE guidelines. Or, if you already have a policy we help you streamline it and ensure that you are covering the necessary areas to remain compliant.
Contact us for a no-obligation meeting to discuss your organisation’s occupational health policy info@crossland.uk.com or phone 01789 298556.
