Construction operations form a major part in virtually all of the various and diverse listed services. In addition to the diversity of services, authorities also have large facilities forming their own workplaces which range from vast office buildings to depots and other more specialist places. The term “Construction” is defined in the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations [CDM].
There is no "set" unifying way that any local authority is forced to undertake and manage its construction operations within its own area and there are no controls from central government to dictate how any authority must undertake its work in this area. Some authorities retain all of its own construction in-house with directly employed in-house staff labour [DLO].
The DLOs can incorporate both the professional design and project management, and the site operatives, or a mix of each.
Further intensive research to each authority is needed to establish this workforce data in detail and CDM2007.org will utilise the new CDM community to form work groups to ascertain data that will provide valuable additional resources to its members.
An essential factor for the growth of an effective culture of safety in construction is to engage fully at all levels throughout the entire procurement chain of any project. Larger organisations tend to have established policies and procedures in place. Many of the larger organisations employ smaller independent organisations, teams or individuals in a self-employed basis. The small to medium employer organisations [SMEs] have less resources to set down to provide for their safety culture and many individual self-employed building trade operatives have little or no exposure to effective construction safety training.
