Strategy

The strategy of the Construction Group is centred around providing an expert networking resource for our members in the industry, and by making a positive contribution by promoting and influencing best practice in health and safety. Our plan is based on a three-pronged strategy:

1  To contribute to the national effort to save lives and reduce work-related accidents and ill health in construction.

2  To improve our communications with members and stakeholders

3  To identify and promote best practice in construction health and safety

Our operational aims have a strong emphasis on communications. We the Construction Group will represent the best interests of our members, liaising with external agencies and other professional bodies. We aim to be recognised as a centre of excellence for construction health and safety at work and collaborate with others to influence health and safety practice throughout the construction industry. For example:

1  We will have a strong presence at the annual IOSH exhibition, offering surgery-style sessions for members

2  We will continue to build on our close links with the IOSJH Environmental and Waste Management Group

3  We will continue to review and strengthen our links with other stakeholders

Details of the programs we are adopting to achieve the group objectives, including working parties, special projects, support groups and work being undertaken to address changes in the industry, can be found in our strategy section.

Each committee member has a champion role to fulfil and is assisted by a support team. Learn more about our Committee members and their Champion roles.
