BEC calls for Silver Helmet entries
The Building Employers Confederation is calling for entries for the
industry's premier safety award, the Contract Journal Silver Helmet
trophy.
The award will be presented at the BEC's 25th annual safety
conference in October, featuring Frank Davies, chairman of the
Health and Safety Commission, as guest speaker.
The HSE's chief inspector of construction, Sandra Caldwell, will
brief the conference on safety in the year 2000.
Tony Wheel, director of Tarmac Building and chairman of the BEC
safety committee, will give the employers' view of how practice
will shape up in the new millennium.
The HSE's imminent guidance, Fire On Construction Sites, will be
tackled in the afternoon session, along with a briefing on joint
fire code being produced by the Loss Prevention Council and the
BEC.
A keynote ministerial address is also expected.
The closing date for entries for the Silver Helmet award is July
31.
Entry forms are available from Suzannah Thursfield at the BEC on
0171 580 5588.
