Health and Safety in construction in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and Suffolk

Foley and Baugh - The Health & Safety People

At Foley and Baugh we offer consultancy and training in health and safety for the construction sector in Great Yarmouth and throughout Norfolk and Suffolk.

Every workplace carries risks, but few are as hazardous as building sites. Despite the challenges, most construction-related risks can be mitigated with proper health and safety measures. For construction firms putting health and safety first is a vital step towards safeguarding workers and passers-by.

Building sites often present an array of risks: working at heights, handling heavy loads, operating large machinery and exposure to rough materials. Without proper health and safety protocols, the likelihood of accidents and injuries rises significantly. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) reports that the construction industry accounts for a third of all workplace fatalities and 10% of major injuries. 

Implementing appropriate health and safety processes for building sites reduces risks significantly. By conducting risk assessments, providing good training and fostering a safety-conscious culture, large construction companies and smaller building firms alike can minimise dangers and ensure a safer working environment. We’ve been providing consultancy and training in health and safety to the construction sector in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk and Suffolk for many years.

Health and safety measures don’t just protect construction workers – they also safeguard the public. Unsecured building sites can pose threats to passers-by, whether through falling debris, unsafe fencing or moving machinery. Construction managers must take proactive steps to prevent accidents that could harm people outside the workforce.

Failing to address health and safety can have devastating consequences for builders and construction businesses. Injuries and illnesses lead to lost productivity, which reduces profitability. Additionally, non-compliance with health and safety regulations can result in hefty fines, legal action and even operating bans. Businesses may also lose critical accreditations like SSIP, damaging their reputation and future prospects.

The solution lies in embedding health and safety into every aspect of builders’ work. This includes regular assessments, clear communication of risks and comprehensive training for employees. Workers must know how to spot potential hazards and how to manage them effectively.

Although it takes time and effort, implementing health and safety protocols is invaluable for protecting workers, the public and your construction business. Foley and Baugh offer expert advice, guidance and training in health and safety to builders in Great Yarmouth, across Norfolk and Suffolk and throughout East Anglia.

Face Fit Testing

Foley and Baugh offer a full face fit testing service to businesses and individuals through East Anglia from our head office in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Face fit testing is critical process for assessing the seal of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) like face masks and respirators to a users face.

Face fit testing checks for gaps between a RPE and the user's face to ensure effective filtration of airborne contaminants. Through simulated exercises, any gaps in the seal are identified, enabling adjustments or recommending alternative respiratory protective equipment to maximise user protection. Repeat testing is a must for maintaining safety standards and protecting workers in hazardous environments across all industries.
