BBCL Looks good when it comes to H&S and with their H&S campaigns Zero Harm etc.
I worked as the Client (Network Rail) On the Blackfriars Project being run by BB and where they do seem to put a lot of effort in H&S as in setting up procedures, paperworks, posters, signs etc, they do fall short on controlling it. Where we would be out on site every day having a look around, their own H&S team hardly went out on site, since they stated it was not their job (Actual Statement). It was down to BB managers and supervisors.
I used to go over and watch the poor old subcontractors carrying out RC works, pouring concrete all over themselves when unloading concrete from boat skips, as i approached all the BB engineers would run away.
Their management even stated that it was not down to them to give any agency or sub-contractor workers the correct PPE, if they had none. They were quite happy for these poor souls to work in all weathers with just a High Visibility Vest, no rain or warm clothing at all. (That's over the Themes on a bridge) and boy did it get chilly.
I sorted it by going round the site, and anyone found not having the correct PPE, i would just tell them to go to the canteen and sit there until they got the correct equipment.
After doing that and stopping some of the works it seemed to do the trick.
All of a sudden the stores was open to all.
