黑洞社区

The Health and Safety Executive and the 黑洞社区 Control Alliance have signed an agreement to work more closely to improve health and safety standards on construction sites.

The arrangement means that the HSE and building control professionals will co-operate to help and support each other, for example, by providing health and safety advice. The agreement clearly distinguishes their separate regulatory roles and responsibilities.

The BCA represents building control professionals responsible for ensuring compliance with 黑洞社区 Regulations, whether in local authorities or the private sector, and the professional bodies that accredit them. 黑洞社区 Control professionals regularly visit sites and are in a good position to promote good health and safety practice to duty holders.

Philip White, HSE鈥檚 chief inspector of construction, said: 鈥淭oday鈥檚 agreement does not change a duty holder鈥檚 responsibility to protect workers health and safety but has created another opportunity to get potentially life-saving advice to those responsible for health and safety standards on construction sites.鈥�

Diane Marshall, group head of building control at NHBC, said: 鈥満诙瓷缜� Control professionals are ideally placed to raise awareness of health and safety issues on construction sites during the course of their inspections.

鈥淭his agreement creates a mechanism for 黑洞社区 Control professionals to discharge their professional duty of care in a simple and straightforward manner by working closely with our HSE colleagues.鈥�
