Raising safety standards for a bricklaying contractor
The challenge
The initial visit identified gaps in manual handling training, face-fit testing and risk assessments for key work activities.
Our approach
The findings were discussed with staff, supervisors and management. Follow-up work included manual handling training, face-fit testing and updates to fire and work-activity risk assessments.
What happened next
The contractor gained a clearer safety framework and assessments tailored to its operations. Staff and supervisors became more engaged in addressing the gaps.
