Since a multitude of real estate developers are facing the huge brunt of the economic crisis, they are being enticed to cut corners in property development. However, they could be out of business if they compromise on health and safety practices.

The HSE gave a warning to the builders on the 23rd of February in a campaign to increase awareness among builders of their health and safety obligations whilst being involved in the property business.

Several studies have proved that numerous small builders are not even aware of their legal duties that they have to adhere to, under the Construction Regulations Act, 2007.

An officer from the London office of HSE’s Construction Division, Mr. Richard Boland stated that around 50 people lost their lives on these projects last year and many others were seriously injured or fell ill owing to reduced-efforts on health and safety practices.

Any property company needs to understand his responsibilities towards his workmen in their safety and well being. The HSE has involved many construction and property dealers as a part of the campaign to improve health and safety.

Make sure that your business is compliant with HSE regulations by enroling your staff and managers onto the range of iosh courses available from the experts at Workplace Law Training.
