Screed Installation Safety Advice, How Safe Are Your Screed Installers?

How safe will your screed installation be with Speed Screed working on site? Since the Health and Safety at Work Act was introduced in 1974, working conditions have improved massively over that period. However construction sites are still an extremely dangerous place to be. For any screed installation great care needs to be taken, not only to lay the screed, but to protect the people around. Below are the Health and Safety Executive statics for Great Britain for the period 2016/17. 1.3 million working people suffering from a work-related illness 2,542 mesothelioma deaths due to past asbestos exposures (2015) 137 workers killed at work 92 members of the public killed 609,000 injuries occurred at work according to the Labour Force Survey 70,116 injuries to employees reported under RIDDOR 31.2 million working days lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury £14.9 billion estimated cost of injuries and ill-health from current working conditions (2015/16) As you can see health and safety standards still have a long way to go, and the last thing any site wants is an accident that hurts someone. Apart from the personal effect of the accident, and possible long-term issues of an injury, the site may need to be inspected by HSE, and possibly closed.
