The East Midlands WWT Group, supported by the Health and Safety Executive, is holding a free half-day occupational health event for operatives, supervisors and managers. The event aims to raise awareness of occupational health risks in construction and provide the latest advice and guidance on managing these risks adequately.
The event will provide information on noise, dust, vibration and stress, all of which pose a risk to the health of construction workers.
