Safety

lyledunn
You fellas have been in and around construction sites, no doubt for may years for some. Can I ask you if you had only one recommendation to improve safety on a construction site, what would it be? 

By the way, for the mods, I do believe this to be a legitimate question for the Wiring Regs forum as safety on site affects all parties.

I am chairing a meeting on Friday which will comprise mostly construction professionals and which will explore such things so whilst I have my own ideas, I would like to garner opinion from the electrical engineering services side.

    I would say training, but not of the boring type to pas the multi choice questions but the training that makes you question how you work safely.


    I went on a HSE organised farm awareness session. On the roofing section there were about twelve of us and the lecturer asked had anyone fallen from height. Three people said yes. Each described what had happened to them. Afterwards the lecturer pointed out they had all started by saying "I was only". Fortunately none of the three had incurred serious injuries, I assume that those that had were not able to attend!


    It made me think about my attitude to the "I was only" jobs. 


    At the same session which was held on a working farm, one of the attendees put her foot down an uncovered drain, tore a tendon and ended up successfully suing HSE.
