VR01 Conform to General Workplace Safety

ByBrian Myers

Safety on a construction site is paramount. In the painting and decorating industry there are particular health and safety issues relating to using products and also working at height. Ensuring that a site is as safe as possible is a shared responsibility between employers and their workforce.
