Occupational Safety in the UK's Construction Industry
A 15 page
paper discussing Britain's efforts to devise effective rules for increased safety while
maintaining common sense. Narrow and immediate issues of workplace safety rest with
individual workers and their employers' management of active safety issues, but they also
extend to greater levels as evidenced by rules applying to consultants and designers.
Mandatory certifications can work to improve safety records of construction firms, as can
greater awareness of safety issues by all involved, workers and managers alike. The trend
toward identifying best practices and methods of assessing risk is sound, but UK's regulatory
agencies will need to look to OSHA as example of regulations that often are
counterproductive. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
