Is health and safety on-site really protecting workers or just protecting paperwork?In today's episode, we dig into whether modern H&S practices genuinely make construction sites safer or if they’ve become a box-ticking routine. A recent survey found that 1 in 7 workers believe their bosses would rather they ignore safety issues to get the job done. With an aging workforce and increasing pressure to deliver fast, we ask: are communication, risk management, and mental health support on-site up to scratch?Joining the conversation are Sam La Roche, Health & Safety Manager at GSQ Brickwork Ltd, and Dr. Lowellyne James, HSEQ Manager at SafeSite Facilities. Together, we unpack whether on-site safety is improving or quietly slipping backwards.Tune in, share your experience, and tell us: is health and safety onsite just a way to cover backs instead of protect bodies, or do you genuinely feel safer because of it?Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
