Construction Work Safety in the Home

Construction Safety in the home
Hi folks,
in a recent report from the HSA, it reported an increase in construction site fatalities from 2016 to 2017.  So I thought it might be a good opportunity to begin the year with an emphasis on construction safety in the home.   I have covered this topic before but I think it’s important to review it again for anyone who may not be aware of the responsibilities of homeowners in relation to construction safety in the home.  These responsibilities are covered under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013. I would also encourage tradesmen to read this article and to check out the checklist at the bottom of this article and in the HSA Guide. If you are a tradesman, try to ensure that you can answer ‘yes’ to the relevant questions in the checklist and that you carry a file with relevant certs and policies to support your claims.
