When it comes to construction projects, safety isn’t just a box to tick — it’s a responsibility that affects everyone involved, from the workers on site to the people who will eventually use the building.

For clients, understanding your role in managing health and safety can feel overwhelming, especially with regulations like CDM (Construction, Design and Management) and the Building Safety Act to navigate.

At John Green Health & Safety, we help clients make sense of these rules, showing how proper planning, communication, and compliance not only keep people safe but also protect your project, reputation, and investment. In this article, we break down what CDM is, explain your responsibilities, and show how staying proactive can make every project run smoother and safer.

Some of you may remember my earlier post about women in male-dominated roles and the ongoing issue of ill-fitting PPE — a real safety and equality concern for many across industries.

I’m really pleased to share that the Provision of Inclusive Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Guide – BS 30417 has now been published.

This new British Standard provides practical, evidence-based guidance for employers across all sectors, aiming to tackle the longstanding issue of PPE traditionally designed around the male physique.

BSI research found that 46% of British women have been supplied with ill-fitting or inappropriate PPE — something that can compromise both safety and comfort at work. The guidance also supports inclusion for people with disabilities, religious dress considerations, and diverse body types.

The introduction of BS 30417 is a significant step towards ensuring PPE is inclusive, effective, and suitable for everyone, helping reduce workplace risks and improve compliance. The standard enables employers to evaluate suppliers and develop inclusive procurement specifications.

A big step forward for health, safety, and inclusion in the workplace!

Company Responsibility, Diversity, and Inclusion

When discussing company responsibility and sustainability, it is essential to consider not only environmental concerns, which have received increasing attention, but also the ethical and moral obligations of an organisation.

Diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, socio-economic backgrounds etc. brings the benefit of a wide range of perspectives, thoughts and ideas which can be representative of the organisation’s customer base. In the most successful organisations these differences are recognised and celebrated through the development of fair policies and practices, resulting in employees feeling valued, respected and empowered.

Diversity in My Work Context

In my consulting role, I observe how diversity and inclusion play out in client organisations. Key examples include gender, foreign workers, younger and older workers, expectant and new mothers, and disabled employees.

The construction industry has seen a rise in foreign or immigrant workers with limited English, creating challenges in ensuring safety information is properly communicated. Tools such as bilingual staff and visual aids help, but cannot guarantee understanding.

Age differences can also create difficulties. Older employees may become frustrated with younger workers who appear reckless, while younger employees may resist traditional practices. Encouraging mentoring and providing thorough training helps bridge this gap and promotes teamwork, which is crucial in high-risk environments.

Is Your Fire Risk Assessment Up to Date?

Fire safety is not just best practice—it’s a legal requirement. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, any building that is not a single private dwelling must have a fire risk assessment in place.

If you are the Responsible Person—whether an employer, property owner, landlord, or managing agent—you are legally obliged to ensure fire safety. This includes identifying hazards, implementing appropriate safety measures, and maintaining up-to-date documentation.

The Lone Worker Safety Challenge: What Businesses Need to Know

Workplace violence is on the rise, and it’s not just affecting frontline staff—it’s impacting productivity, morale, and overall business performance.

The People Safe Lone Worker Safety 2025 report shows that across sectors, employees are feeling increasingly unsafe, both on the job and during their commute.

Key insights for business leaders:

High-risk sectors: Public-facing roles—healthcare, social care, emergency services, retail, and hospitality—face the highest levels of abuse.

For example, 1 in 7 NHS frontline workers experience physical violence each year. Retail incidents have skyrocketed to over 2,000 per day, nearly four times pre-pandemic levels.

Remote and lone workers: Community nurses, delivery drivers, and other mobile roles are particularly vulnerable, with 56% reporting safety incidents.

Culture matters: When abuse is normalised as “part of the job,” it damages recruitment, retention, and employee wellbeing.

Managing health and safety in construction is a constant balancing act between regulation, human behaviour, cost, and operational realities. It requires strong leadership, a proactive safety culture, clear communication, and continuous monitoring.

Health and safety isn’t just about individual risks—it spans organisational, regulatory, and operational challenges.

HSE Launches Construction Inspections in Manchester – Support Available for Businesses

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has today begun a series of unannounced inspections across Manchester city centre as part of its national initiative to tackle ill-health in the construction industry.

Twelve inspectors will visit a range of sites – from large-scale developments to smaller projects – to review how effectively businesses are managing key health and safety risks. The inspections will focus particularly on:

Asbestos
Dust
Noise
Musculoskeletal disorders
Health surveillance

These visits form part of approximately 14,000 inspections being carried out nationwide by the HSE during the current financial year, with around 8,000 specifically targeting health-related issues in the workplace.

A spokesperson from John Green Health & Safety Ltd said:

“With HSE inspections now underway in Manchester, it’s essential that construction businesses ensure they have the right measures in place to protect their workforce and meet their legal obligations.

Our team is here to help organisations prepare for inspections, liaise directly with the HSE on their behalf, and implement any necessary remedial actions following a visit.”

John Green Health & Safety Ltd offers tailored support to help businesses achieve and maintain compliance with health and safety regulations. This includes inspection readiness assessments, documentation reviews, and practical guidance to strengthen workplace health management systems.

Mental Health Focus and Its Impact on Health and Safety Management in Business.

In today’s workplace, mental health is no longer a secondary consideration — it is a central part of effective health and safety management.

While traditional safety programs often focus on preventing physical injuries, organisations increasingly recognise that employees’ mental and emotional well-being is equally critical to operational performance, safety, and organisational culture.

Boardroom Conversations: How to Get Senior Leaders Engaged with Health & Safety

Health and safety is often viewed as a compliance-driven function, relegated to policies, checklists, and audits. Yet, the most successful organisations understand that embedding health and safety into business strategy is not just a regulatory necessity—it’s a driver of productivity, employee engagement, and long-term sustainability.

The key to achieving this is engaging senior leaders in meaningful boardroom conversations about health and safety.

Behavioural Safety is a systematic approach that focuses on identifying and promoting safe behaviours to prevent accidents and work-related illnesses.

Its foundation lies in the research of Herbert William Heinrich, who, in his 1931 book Industrial Accident Prevention: A Scientific Approach, highlighted that approximately 88% of workplace accidents were caused by unsafe employee actions rather than hazardous conditions.

In my article, I break down the core principals of Behavioural Safety and discuss how by focusing on human factors and behavioural safety, organisations can reduce incidents, protect employees, and build a culture where safety comes naturally.
