Latest figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) show a rise in the number of work-related fatalities. The common causes of fatal accidents to workers are being struck by a moving vehicle, struck by a moving object and falling from heights. Between them they accounted for around 70% of fatal injuries to workers in 2023/24. These stark figures demonstrate the need for quality training to help ensure that construction and infrastructure workers across the nation can operate safely and competently. TTC’s Synergie Training offers effective, accredited training for the construction and infrastructure sectors. Find out more here https://buff.ly/4cHwQyP #compliance #HSE #training #construction

When drafting agreements with contractors, it's crucial to discuss safety management.  Confirm the contractor's safety arrangements, ensure their core safety obligations under WHS legislation are clear, address how they will manage critical safety concerns specific to your business, verify the truth of their safety claims, and focus on the outcomes rather than processes, with clear agreement on conditions that prioritise safety. Book a consultation with our experts to ensure your agreements address all critical safety aspects, safeguarding your business and workers. #ContractorSafetyAgreements #OHSCompliance #RiskMitigation #WorkplaceSafety #LegalProtection #SafetyFirst

❗Safety is more than just rules. It involves creating an environment where employees feel secure. This can be achieved through regular safety training, provision of personal protective equipment, and implementation of emergency response procedures. In industries like construction and manufacturing, where physical risks are higher, safety measures should be stringent and regularly reviewed. Does your employer do any of the above?
