Abstract
Presents an illustrated summary of a major investigation into the underlying causes and risk controls for a range of construction activities. The work has sought to combine hard data, including accident and ill-health evidence, with expert judgements to build up a comprehensive and balanced understanding of the human, hardware and external factors. Diverse problems have been examined, including: hand-arm vibration syndrome, construction transport safety, falls from height, and an industry-wide view considering the potential efficacy of different intervention mechanisms HSE might adopt in working with the industry.
