Occupational Health Risk Management in Construction

PREPARED by the Construction Industry Advisory Committee (CONIAC) Health Risks Working Group, the 20-page Occupational Health Risk Management in Construction guidance offers advice on assessing the risks to health in the construction industry and the role of occupational health service provision in preventing or controlling those risks.

It’s aimed primarily at employers, but others, such as directors, health and safety professionals, safety representatives and occupational health service providers, may find it useful, particularly in identifying their roles in the management of occupational health risks in construction.
