£115 billion
30 accidents
Construction Design and Management Regulation
(CDM 2015)
This provide a systematic approach to prevent accidents

2. Aims and Objectives
The aim of the research
This study ‘Health & Safety; How to mitigate minor
and near miss accidents on construction sites and
assessing the role of site inductions used to aid this’ on
Morgan Sindall Group.
Objectives of the research
• To identify minor accidents which happened at
construction site
• To determine the role of site induction at
construction site
• To determine the impact of site induction on
reducing rate of accidents at construction site
• To recommend different approaches in order to
minimize rate of minor accidents at construction
site.
3. Methodology
Construction (Design and management)
4. Conclusion
This is the part of the research in which summarise the
overall report effectively. The first phase of the study has
been concluded the background of the research and
company operation. The topic is related with the
mitigating risk at construction site. There are different
objectives and those are interlinked with each other.
Develop an appropriate health and safety
management system and use new technological tool
at site
Statistics United Kingdom Russia
Approx. 6.1
million contribute
8 percent of total
employment.
£280 billion
Approx. 480
accidents.
Fatal injuries to worker by major sector:
5
In order to reduced accidents company need to
minimize nigh work
This is the roles and responsibility of project
manager is to conduct safety meeting on daily basis.
5. Recommendation
Provide effective training before sent their staff at
construction site and review such training on regular
