WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OUR CUSTOMERS A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

 The CITB is urging contractors to order their copy of the 2013 edition of the GE 700 Construction site safety manual, to ensure best health and safety practice on site.

The new edition of GE 700 gives up-to-date guidance and legislation information on matters related to health, safety and the environment.

The latest edition also includes access to the GE 700 website, where users can access news, industry-related updates and useful links to related health and safety topics.

Braden Connolly, Head of Testing and Card Services at CITB-ConstructionSkills said:  "In the last 12 months, the number of recorded UK construction-related fatalities has fallen more than 10% below the last five year average, making UK construction sites among the safest in Europe. However, ours is a high risk industry, so we must continue to strive for better standards of safety across the board and we can only do this through industry-led best practice guidance."

"By ordering a copy of the GE 700 now, contractors and their employees can be safe in the knowledge that they will have up-to-date guidance and information on current health, safety and environment legislation. Not only that, but the new publication will provide all of this information in a new, easy-to-use format, which will make it even easier for contractors to understand their responsibilities."
