Construction Safety PartnershipGoal 1
(Lead organisation: CIF)
In order to understand how well a company is performing in relation to its occupational health and safety management, it is useful to have a reliable benchmark of industry wide performance. In this way, a company can measure itself against industry standards and achievements and this will assist it to set targets as part of a continuous improvement programme.
Goal 1 will develop a basis for such a benchmark of health and safety performance and provide a tool that can be expanded to include other informative services which can contribute to improved company performance and international comparison. The table below sets out the plan to achieve this over the three year plan period.
SEPTEMBER 2009 - THE BENCHMARKING TOOL WAS OFFICAILLY LAUNCHED AT THE CONSTRUCTION SAFETY PARTNERSHIP FORUM - WE ARE NOW TAKING REGISTRATIONS FROM INTERESTED COMPANIES TO USE THIS RESOURCE. CLICK HERE
