Behind every grand hotel or office building, there are hazards and risks that continue to astound us.
Customer-facing business is built upon the requirement to deliver a great appearance and atmosphere in order to impress prospective clients.
Do a little bit of digging behind the scenes and it soon becomes clear that all is often not quite as it seems.
Slippery steps and walkways, missing edge protection, eccentric ‘botch jobs’ and a general lack of consideration for safety are all too common occurrences behind the scenes.
They needn’t be.
There is a certain stigma about health and safety in the UK. The media has dubbed it the “health-and-safety-gone-mad” culture.
You hear about people injured or worse, killed in the workplace. This is where health and safety has failed. Have you heard about the millions of people made safe by the non-slip flooring or roof protection that prevented a slip, trip or fall?
No, because safety doesn’t sell.
The pictures below are actual installations encountered by our surveyors in the last two years.
