Construction Group

Working well together

Working Well Together (WWT) is the country’s leading construction health and safety campaign, supported by the construction industry, trade unions and the Health and Safety Executive. Members of the Construction Group Committee and IOSH members are regularly involved in the organisation, and delivery of meetings. A number of the regional WWT groups have IOSH members on their committees.

Dave Charlton, Construction Group committee member commented:

"SMEs and micro organisations can benefit from attending WWT events to find out how they can improve safety on site and see what new equipment and kit is available to help them. This is the Industry providing help for the Industry, with the main purpose of the WWT meetings and events being to promote a better understanding of health and safety issues affecting all the industry. This along with sharing expert knowledge and experience with those who may not have the benefit of employing an IOSH member, will hopefully reduce the numbers of serious injuries suffered by construction workers every year..."

The campaign aims to improve health and safety in the construction industry, particularly in small and micro businesses.

To do this the campaign aims to:

Provide a nationwide network of groups where members can support and advise each other and share good practice throughout the industry
Encourage new members to join the network
Stage events where at least half the people invited will be from small businesses (fewer than 15 employees) or micro businesses (fewer than 5 employees).

There are 16 regional WWT groups providing events, most of which are free to attend. Find out more about your local WWT group.

The events give practical, hands-on experience with expert speakers from the industry. There is usually a demonstration and exhibition area where you can see the latest equipment and services to help you and your business. For more information about events please see the WWT website.
