According to the Health and Safety Executive, the combined UK demolition and construction industry killed 45 of its number last year. But that is not the full story.
The concern for me is the rising number of fatalities on site when H&S requirements are far stricter than in the past. It suggests that as margins tighten, corners are being cut again. The HSE is woefully underfunded but also toothless imo.
