Safety and Health Awareness Day a Resounding Success
The SHAD held at Buchan Concrete Solutions in Byley on 21st November 2011 gave sixty delegates the opportunity to visit a working precast concrete factory whilst expanding their knowledge on five different health and safety topics. These were:
- Slips, trips and falls
- Occupational Health (including dust and noise)
- Load security
- Hand arm and fully body vibration
- Respiratory protective equipment
The day proved very useful and feedback from the event was extremely positive.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the attendees and particularly the HSE and Buchan for all of their assistance in helping create such an engaging and valuable event.
STATEMENT OF SUPPORT
Judith Hackitt CBE
Chair, Health and Safety Executive |
“I am delighted to offer my support for the new phase of the Concrete Targets scheme. For Health and Safety to be improved further, it is essential that the industry takes the lead and sets its own priorities. By signing HSE’s pledge, you have committed to being ‘part of the solution’, to help deliver on the relevant goals within the strategy for the Health and Safety of Great Britain.
You have already come a long way with an impressive 68% reduction in injury rates to date since the initiative began in 2001, but reaching the new targets in CT2015 will require even more hard work and commitment. The new phase rightly identifies how, by working together, sharing best practice and learning from one another, this can be achieved.
It is right that you celebrate the significant achievements which have brought you this far, recognising at the same time that the journey is long, and progress must be sustained to meet the new targets.” |
