What is ‘health and safety’?
Health and safety is about making sure that people are not injured
or made ill by work.
Employers should look at the work that’s being done and identify the
things that might cause an injury or illness.
They should then put measures in place to try and prevent injury
or illness from happening.
A duty-holder must reasonably consider the likelihood and severity of harm when managing risks. Risk assessment involves considering hazards, the chance of harm occurring, and the number of people affected. Workers and PCBUs have health and safety duties including cooperating on risk control, using personal protective equipment, and following safe work procedures. Safety data sheets provide chemical hazard information to safely handle materials. Site inspections help identify and control workplace hazards.
This course aims to teach design professionals how to recognize and eliminate construction hazards through permanent design features. It emphasizes identifying hazards during design, assessing their risks, and applying a hierarchy of controls to mitigate them. Specific topics will include fall protection, ladders, scaffolding, confined spaces, and noise exposure. Design solutions presented include parapets, window sills, skylights, roof anchors, floor openings, and reducing elevated work. The goal is to proactively improve safety through design rather than relying on protective equipment and procedures during construction.

1.7–1.9 Reporting accidents (2)
What is a ‘near miss’?
A near miss is an accident that could have caused injury but, fortunately,
did not.
An example of a near miss:
A scaffold collapses while the construction workers are on their lunch
break, which meant that no one was using the scaffold at the time.
If someone had been on the scaffold, they could have been seriously
injured or even killed.
A near miss must be reported in the same way as an accident.
