The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Construction Division are inviting property developers to attend a free training seminar at their London Headquarters, Southwark Bridge, on 20 March 2006.
With the proposed changes to the Construction (Design Management) (CDM) regulations, the half-day seminar is aimed at providing an understanding of health and safety laws applicable to property developers in the construction industry.
Giles Meredith, Construction Inspector, said:
"Far too often we visit construction sites where the client thinks health and safety is not their problem.
"Evidence clearly shows that clients who take ownership of health and safety for the life of a project, who demonstrate their commitment through their leadership on site and who work in partnership with contractors have much to gain, including a significantly better product".
This is a free seminar, which will only take one morning or afternoon, providing property developers with the opportunity to discuss health and safety law with HSE construction specialists.
Bookings for the seminar can be made by contacting Kokhab Rafi or Pat Osayande on 020 7556 2100, or by email to : kokhab.rafi@hse.gsi.gov.uk
