2 Designer Awareness Seminar Awareness Days are run by the industry for the industry. Working Well Together (WWT) is the cross-industry partnership with the aim of improving standards of health and safety in our industry. The goal is meaningful and sustained reduction in injury and ill-health. The benefit is not only a reduction in the pain and suffering caused to our fellow workers. There are also real gains to be made in productivity, pride and professionalism. Designers have a big influence on all of these factors. Early consideration of health and safety issues can resolve many of the problems that contractors face. We all know that changes cropping up during the construction phase can be expensive. The cost of failure to plan effectively is reflected in the high levels of injury and ill-health amongst our workforce. There is widespread concern that designers could do more to address, mitigate or eliminate risk. Some designers are not fully aware of what they need to do. Too many people with design responsibilities are not up to speed on health and safety and, as a result, fail to fully understand how to meet the standards expected of them. Designers have a vital role in improving the performance of the industry, but they need to be more proactive. This half-day seminar is supported by the professional associations and HSE. You will gain valuable information about CDM 2007 which spells out your duty of care. This is crucial to your CPD - certificates will be provided. Please ensure that at least one of your colleagues attends. I look forward to meeting you at this seminar. Robert Parkes HM Principal Inspector of Health and Safety, Construction The cost of 25 per person includes tea/coffee. For further information call
