The Construction Industry has one of the highest rates of accidents in the UK and is therefore a key target for Health & Safety Executive Inspectors. The high rates are believed to be due to a number of factors including; Nature of the Work, Macho Image within the Industry, Changes in Workplace and Workforce, Tight Deadlines and even the Weather.
