Architects have a key role in creating safe, sustainable and buildable designs. The fourth video in a series produced by the RIBA and the Health & Safety Executive covers the housebuilding sector and looks at: working at height; sequencing and programming; and manual handling. The 2007-2008 HSE statistics showed that 50% of all fatalities on housebuilding sites were as a result of falls from height and 16% of major health issues were caused by manual handling. This amounts to a poor safety record for UK housebuilding. The video is aimed at improving health and safety standards on-site and can be used as part of CPD training, attracting RIBA CPD accreditation.
