The construction industry can be a dangerous profession and as such has some of the highest reported death and injury rates. Last year, 71 construction workers lost their lives whilst at work and 4780 workers were injured. Many more will have required first aid treatment or time off work due to musculoskeletal illness.
The HSE has prioritised the construction industry and is working hard at helping these companies reduce the rate of death and injury. Part of the HSE’s strategy is to place a legal duty on construction companies to provide adequate first aid facilities and manual handling training to ensure that all staff are kept safe whilst at work.
Swan First Aid Services has a full commitment to working with the construction industry and has established excellent working relationships with many local and national companies.
