Occupational road safety does not start and stop on the way out of a construction site or as materials leave a depot to be delivered to homes and workplaces. It starts as soon as each of us thinks about driving for work – every day. In a recent article, RoSPA's Dr Karen McDonnell highlights the importance of transporting goods safely: https://lnkd.in/e5UMRqDi #safedriver #safevehicle #safeload #driversafety #occupationalsafety #healthandsafety #news

We’re backing calls for tighter health and safety measures following an independent report revealing 138 workplace fatalities in the past year. The Health and Safety Executive's report highlights a concerning spike in construction industry deaths, rising from four to 51.   Ruth Wilkinson from the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health emphasises the urgent need for action, particularly in high-risk industries. At Thompsons, we echo this call and remain committed to advocating for workers' rights and safety.   Phillip Liptrot, our head of personal injury, states: "The recent rise in workplace fatalities underscores a critical need for improved safety measures. Every worker deserves a safe working environment free from injury or death."   If you or someone you know has been affected by a workplace accident, our team is here to help: https://bit.ly/4czdHin #WorkplaceSafety #HealthAndSafety #WorkersRights #ConstructionSafety

Workers in construction, agriculture and transportation are dying from exposure to extreme heat. When the Granillo family lost their son they fought to change laws that would protect other workers from the dangers of heat. But many states are making those protections illegal and it now falls to companies and the federal government to step up. Watch our latest video to understand what's at stake and what can be done.

Since 2012, OSHA has teamed up with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) - Construction Sector for the Fall Prevention Campaign. This initiative aims to raise awareness among workers and employers about common fall hazards in construction, and most importantly, how to prevent them. Falls from ladders, scaffolds, and roofs can be prevented with the right knowledge and precautions. Let's work together to keep our construction sites safe! Check out some valuable tips and resources to prevent these accidents. https://loom.ly/XCxSc9A #SafetyFirst #ConstructionSafety #FallPreventionCampaign #atlanta #Georgia #Standdown4Safety Georgia Department of Labor U.S. Department of Labor

This case heard today in Mullingar District Court, further demonstrates how essential it is that employers manage and conduct work activities to ensure the safety, health and welfare of all its employees. While the employee did survive, he sustained serious injuries after falling over 7 meters to the concrete floor below. The company and its management team were found guilty of failing to implement adequate safety measures and ensure a safe system of work, exposing workers to risks from inadequate edge protection and fragile roof lights. https://bit.ly/3ZjXD04 #healthandsafety #heightsafetytraining #riskassessment #safetymeasures

There is no clear cut definition of practicable and a person with minimal OHS & no construction management experience would have a very different view of practicable as compared to a safety professional that is very experienced in site safety - has experience in construction management plus has done work as a site supervisor with multiple trades, they have a far better understanding of construction site logistics as to what is Wip or what constitutes a hazard to workers - it is such a simple issue so just deal with it and it will meet compliance with WorkSafe BC’s gray area policy’s on such matters - and if you do not have enough experience you will develop anxiety and sleeplessness and not fully solve the issue because you will not be able to effectively present your case for judgement-and thus I rest my case 😎

Prioritize Ladder Safety at work to prevent accidents and ensure security. Regularly inspect equipment, follow load limits, and use proper techniques. Invest in training to educate employees on hazard mitigation and best practices. Enhance safety with strict policies and continuous monitoring. Boost productivity and welfare. #CTSTraining #SafetyCulture
