Construction site inspections underway HSE has begun the latest construction inspection initiative across London. The inspection initiative is running until 17 February and will target London construction sites, primarily focusing on risks to health, particularly working with asbestos.   The inspections will be looking at the measures in place to protect workers from occupational lung disease when carrying out common construction tasks.   Make sure you are prepared, working safely and don't get caught out. You can view guidance on our construction website and keep up to date by signing up to our construction eBulletin.
