All UKCG members are working at the leading edge to improve health and safety performance. To this end UKCG has launched a health and safety charter, which sets out areas where members will be working collectively to improve the industry’s performance.

UKCG is committed to working with its supply chain to improve the standard of health and safety on its construction sites.  UKCG has a protocol that sets out the way in which UKCG intends to implement change in consultation with its supply chain.

UKCG will use the accepted records scheme to determine whether site based personnel are properly qualified. This document is currently under review and will be updated in the near future.

UKCG has also introduced a training standard to ensure employees have the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely and effectively. 

UKCG HEALTH AND SAFETY CHARTER

Working with their supply chains, UKCG member companies will take collective action to lead improvements in health and safety in construction. UKCG will report on its activities annually. Wherever possible UKCG will work with other industry bodies to drive change.

In particular UKCG members are committed to:

• Leading behavioural change on all our sites to eliminate accidents and work related ill health;
• Achieving a fully qualified workforce;
• Ensuring all supervisors on UKCG sites have the necessary skills to supervise effectively;
• Consulting workers in a way that engages them in improving health and safety;
• Ensuring that safety critical workers are fit to work;
• Exchanging best practice and consideration of lessons learnt in order to direct collective action; and
• Taking collective action to drive industry improvement in the management of construction risks.
