September HSE Inspection Results

Poor standards and dangerous practices were found at nearly half of the building sites visited during the September safety drive. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) visited 2,607 sites where refurbishment or repair work was taking place.
Inspectors found basic safety standards were not being met on 1,105 sites. On 644 sites, enforcement action was necessary to protect workers with 539 prohibition notices served and 414 improvement notices issued. The inspection campaigns will continue with a tight focus on checking occupational health issues.
