The Considerate Constructors Scheme<\/a> (CCS) has discovered that 75% of survey respondents believe that worker fatigue in construction is a serious issue<\/h2>\n

The CCS\u2019s worker fatigue in construction survey of the UK and Irish construction industries also discovered that over a third (37%) of respondents were found to be working in excess of a 50 hour week.<\/p>\n

Worker fatigue in construction is a serious health and safety<\/a> risk. It has the potential to significantly impair physical and cognitive capacities, as well as having a damaging effect on the mental health<\/a> of the industry\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n

The inability to respond and react promptly can be highly detrimental across any type of construction activity \u2013 leading to errors, near misses, injuries and even death.<\/p>\n

Available on the CCS\u2019s Best Practice Hub,\u00a0\u2018Spotlight on\u2026 worker fatigue\u2019<\/a> provides the entire industry with a place to get the latest best practice examples, case studies, guidance and other resources, such as key details about the law and legislation on this issue.<\/p>\n

The campaign includes a range of\u00a0case study<\/a>\u00a0contributions from CCS-registered sites and companies such as:<\/p>\n

A-one+<\/a>, Carnell Group<\/a>, Farrans<\/a>, J. Murphy & Sons Ltd<\/a>, Munnelly Support Services<\/a>, Robertson<\/a> and VolkerRail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considerate Constructors Scheme, chief executive, Amanda Long said: \u201cOur workforce is at the centre of the success of our industry and, as the industry survey clearly shows, we must do more to improve standards to tackle the issue of worker fatigue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Scheme is at the centre of raising awareness and spreading best practice across the entire industry and I would encourage everyone to read the campaign and utilise the resources available within it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to all organisations which have contributed to the campaign so far, and we look forward to continuing to grow the Best Practice Hub\u2019s suite of resources on this critical subject to help to continue to raise standards across our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
