RVT is heading to Chester for our next live event this November
7th October 2022Similar to our hugely successful London event, which took place in April this year, delegates will be greeted with a well-balanced breakfast and an engaging agenda. We have an outstanding line up of speakers who all share a common objective; to significantly reduce the number of construction workers suffering from work-related ill-health. We are also delighted that the event is being supported by the following organisations;
This event will become known as ‘AOSH North’ and we look forward to expanding the event even further in future.
As with our previous AOSH event, we are calling for action on site health because, as we know, health hazards are not mutually exclusive. Our health can be threatened by a huge range of hazards on site, from uncontrolled dust and fume and the mishandling of heavy objects to debilitating work-induced stress.
The HSE’s latest statistics (2020/21) show why this focus is necessary. This report showed;
Without appropriate hazard control measures in place, construction sites continue to pose significant dangers to workers’ short and long term health.
