Industry Minister, Sarah Jones MP launched the Construction Leadership Council’s (CLC) Health, Safety and Wellbeing Strategy at a summit attended by ECA (Electrical Contractors’ Association) earlier this week.
Commenting on the new strategy, Tony Sidwell, ECA’s Head of Safety, Health and Environment said:
“The stress of late payments affects the mental health of business owners and managers, especially within SMEs. ECA’s advocacy to tackle the scourge of poor payment practices for several years is starting to bear fruit. We welcome the new strategy and hope it will move the dial to improve health and wellbeing within the sector.”
The CLC will work in partnership with Mates in Mind, and other organisations from across the supply chain and Government, to strengthen health, safety and resilience in the wider construction industry.
The work will be overseen by a newly established CLC Health, Safety and Wellbeing Group which will measure and act upon industry health and safety data.
