Working safely across the BBC

One of my big worries is whether we're doing enough about Health and Safety - with so many things going on across the estate day in day out, plus our enormous building programme going on at the same time.
When I think about the latter, and the fact that today there could be up to 2,000 people carrying out construction work on BBC sites across the UK, this is quite a challenge.
It was therefore very heartening to read some feedback about MediaCityUK in Salford where Peel Media and Bovis Lend Lease had a very positive visit from the Head of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) who paid tribute to the high safety standards at the site.
Have a look for yourself by reading the 'Safety first for builders at the BBC's new Salford HQ' article on the HSE website.

• 500,000 hours without a reportable accident
• One year without a reportable accident.
As a provider to the BBC our Health and Safety standard is paramount and we'd like to share our achievement as part of the ONE Workplace team and congratulate everyone within BBC English Regions for their commitment to Health and Safety.
Keep up the good work and hopefully we will achieve a million hours worked without an accident before the end of 2010.
