Procurement's Contribution to Improved Health and Safety Performance
Issue
To respond to the Government's Revitalising Health and Safety initiative.
Objective
To bring about a substantial reduction in the number of accidents on construction and maintenance sites and to provide better working conditions for the workforce.
Actions
Improved health and safety performance will be delivered by the following improvements to the HA's procurement procedures:
- Closer scrutiny of suppliers' corporate commitment to continual improvement in health and safety and of their record of performance;
- Regular monitoring and reporting of performance on a wider scope, including near misses;
- Targets for continual improvement;
- Earlier involvement of the contractor and the supply chain in the planning and design of work;
- Greater scrutiny of designers' performance in producing designs which are safe to build, maintain and operate;
- Longer familiarisation and mobilisation periods for the contractor and the supply chain;
- Demanding targets for the training of operatives and the policing of the registration scheme;
- Requirement on firms to produce action plans following accidents;
- More comprehensive post-project reviews;
- Ongoing work opportunities linked to good performance on health and safety.
