BRITAIN ’ S FIRST FLOATING VILLAGE
Concluding comment The consultation follows on from a number of national construction site campaigns led by the HSE in 2013 , as a result of which they confirmed that nearly one in five constructions visited , were subject to enforcement action . In addition , numerous prosecutions have arisen in which not just companies , but individuals have been held to account for health and safety failings . Such regulatory activity tells us that , although the changes to the CDM 2007 may stem from recommendations made under the governments “ Red Tape Challenge ” aimed at alleviating regulatory burden on companies , the regulator is maintaining a strong focus on ensuring that health and safety is being upheld .
