The vast majority (86%) of construction professionals have witnessed an accident on site that could have been prevented in the past year, research from SafeSite Facilities has revealed. This figure climbed to 95% for site safety officers, while 37% reported they had suffered an injury on site personally in the past year, although this figure was lower for more experienced workers. Jack Lowdell, manager at SafeSite Facilities, said: “The findings show that preventable incidents remain a real issue across sites in the UK. Just 14% said no one had been injured on a construction site they had worked on. Dr Lowellyne James, HSEQ manager at SafeSite Facilities, added: “It’s deeply troubling that in the 21st century, we’re still talking about injuries on construction sites that could have been easily prevented.
