Before the current health crisis the government promised a million new homes by 2025 and increased investment into the sector. Recent reports suggest this is still on the horizon and businesses within this sector should be confident that despite the current situation, they will not be overlooked. So as the construction sector starts to look forward, Health and Safety will remain a top priority. After all, this is an industry in which its workers already have a high risk of developing diseases from a number of health issues. Add to that, mental health issues which pose some of the biggest risks faced by construction workers. We can help you as lockdown is loosened but the dangers in your industry remain.
