Health, Safety & Wellbeing
Scope
The CLC has established a Health, Safety and Well-Being Working Group, focusing on three key areas: Mental health, MSDs and respiratory health. Its purpose is:
- To bring together key industry H&S leaders to drive significant improvement in industry construction H&S performance.
- To enable cross fertilisation and collaboration between H&S industry groups to maximise impact and avoid duplication.
- To act as a conduit: Providing a steer on strategic direction from CLC whilst enabling a feedback loop to broader industry. The cross-industry working group will oversee and support delivery of a series of workstreams, working in partnership with key stakeholders across the sector.
This page will be updated with further details as the group’s work develops.
