Occupational Health and Safety

One of the important steps on my poster is occupational health and safety as it is becoming one of the major considerations on site. I talked to Roger who’s a construction manager about the procedures they implement on the large Spotlight development site. He said there are regular site inspections and all workers must have a red card. He also talked about regular meetings where they discuss and implement safety measures. Another important safety measure was the safety equipment used such as helmets.
A really helpful website for finding out more information of O. H & S is:
