We continue to recognise that whilst standards in UK construction are generally improving the industry as a whole has seen an increase in fatalities in 2006/2007. With the pressure increasing on the HSE to resource their level of monitoring to match the buoyant UK workload, it becomes more important than ever for responsible contractors to ensure that they are managing work safely and without risk to health.

At Quadric, we have seen a reduction in accident rates over the same period while the business has continued to grow but this success must be maintained. Our safety management system includes:

• Embracing the principles of prevention and the ethos of CDM 2007

• Listening to the needs of the Client and the application of a realistic hierarchy of control
• Co-operation and communication with the supply chain
• Use of market-leading safety management software
• Access to current information sources for the latest safety data
