Major construction companies support SCI safety project

SCI has signed sponsorship con- tracts with a number of construc- tion organisations, including Taylor Woodrow, Morgan Sindall and the HSE, for the third phase of its Trojan Horse safety messaging project.

This new joint industry project addresses the commercial application of the highly successful messaging technique that conveys health and safety information on construction sites through pictures.

The HSE and SCI are keen to maximise the messaging technique uptake and improve on site construction safety.

Recently retired Chair of Health & Safety Commission, Bill Callaghan, said: “We believe that the Trojan Horse messaging technique can be used as part of a health and safety strategy to deliver a safer construction industry.”

The third phase of the project includes ready to use messages that reflect industry best practice, guidelines in the use of the technique and exemplar applications for housing, industrial building and multi-storey building.
