Health and safety is important to everyone nowadays, especially with burgeoning legislation and regulations in the area, both in the UK and, perhaps more importantly, in the European Community.
One of the industries most affected by this is construction, which because of its traditionally poor record in this respect and its widespread and under-policed activities is now subject to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. These require that every project that involves building or demolition work, regardless of the industry concerned and for what purpose, must be planned and documented according to these safety regulations and procedures. Non-compliance can attract heavy penalties, including fines and prison sentences. And now, these requirements and their contingent financial costs are beginning to determine a whole philosophy to underpin business management. It is therefore vital to understand exactly what legal obligations and duties are inherent in either managing, contracting or carrying out a given piece of work. Lack of such knowledge can be very costly. This book shows how to find a way around the maze of rules and regulations in order to improve business efficiency and reduce exposure to financial risk.
