Health & Safety
NJC Guide to Health, Safety and Welfare
The National Joint Council for the Engineering Construction Industry is concerned to ensure the provision of the safest possible working arrangements and environment for all employees engaged on NAECI sites and projects. To that end the NJC Safety, Health and Environmental Committee has been instrumental in developing and agreeing policies and guidance to meet the NJC objectives. To ensure greater clarity and to re-emphasize the importance of the guidance, the NJC has decided to publish this information as a free standing booklet.
Engineering Construction Industry Accident Statistics
The Engineering Construction Industry is justifiably proud of its excellent safety performance record within UK construction as a whole. The overall downward accident trend on independently audited NAECI Category 1 Projects and Category 2 sites during the last 10 years reflects the joint efforts of the in-scope employers and employees in the industry.
The NJC Award for Safety in Engineering Construction
The NJC Award for Safety In Engineering Construction was introduced in 1994 to recognise outstanding safety management and performance on in-scope NAECI Category 1 Projects and Category 2 Sites. When merited the Award is issued to projects or sites as a whole, to reflect the combined efforts of the client, the contractors and the workforce.
