The construction industry is one of the most dangerous to work and, many people are seriously injured on sites all over the country and loss of life is also high. In order to reduce the amount of people who are injured or killed health and safety laws were introduced and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and these regulations still stand today. The idea of the Site Management Safety Training Scheme is to make sure you are fully aware of your legal duties as well as your moral ones. When you are in charge of employees you have to do everything possible to stop accidents from occurring. Undertaking safe methods of work, carrying out risk assessments and managing health and safety reduce the risks and can save lives. This is why having the right training is so important.
