The British Precast Annual Health and Safety Award for 2004/5, based on the topic of ‘Working at Heights ’ was awarded at the end of 2005, with the winning entry being submitted by Hanson Building Products, Derby Works. The HSE developed guidance sheets based on our 1999/2000 Award Scheme on the subject of ‘Manual Handling’, and these are to be published on the HSE website. It is now planned to develop similar guidance sheets based on successive years’ Award Scheme entries.
