by Mike Hughes, Evening GazetteFeb 21 2012
CONSTRUCTION sites in Teesside are being put under the safety spotlight as part of an intensive inspection initiative aimed at reducing death, injury and ill health.
Between 20 February and 16 March, inspectors from the Health & Safety Executive will be visiting sites across the area where refurbishment or repair works are being carried out. This is part of a Great Britain wide month-[B]long drive to improve standards in one of Britain’s most dangerous industries[/B].
Their primary aim will be to target high-risk activity such as working at height and also “good order” such as ensuring sites are clean and tidy, with clear access routes.
During 2010/11, there were no deaths but more than 23 serious injuries were reported in Teesside. There were two deaths and 132 serious injuries across the North-east
