The most recent activity of British Precast's Health and Safety work was holding a Safety and Health Awareness Day (SHAD). The day focused on a number of topics and following on from this a dedicated SHAD page has been created with further links and updated on the issues covered.

Regular ‘Safety Alerts’ have been introduced and are circulated to all Member companies to enable the sharing of experiences throughout the Industry.

The committee continues to work closely with the HSE in respect of a broad range of Topical Health and Safety Issues.

Strong links have been maintained with the Building Products Training Council and other similar bodies to help promote the safe use of all building materials and to ensure good practice in training and Health and Safety are observed.

All British Precast Full Members are encouraged to support the valuable work of the committee and to send along representatives to the regular meetings. Non-participating observers are also welcome at meetings, please contact James Fudge if you are interested.
