New Health and Safety Guidance.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has updated its website on managing occupational health risks in the construction industry, providing new information for Construction Design and Management coordinators (CDMs). The website gives information for CDMs, clients, designers, principal contractors and contractors on how to manage occupational health risks and meet the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007. See http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/healthrisks/index.htm and also http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg411.pdf.

In addition, the HSE has issued a site inspection - workplace transport checklist to help reduce risk from vehicles (http://www.hse.gov.uk/workplacetransport/checklist/index.htm) and a quick guide to managing the risks when using scaffolding (http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/scaffoldinginfo.htm).
