Build UK Members Contribute To CIP Construction H&S Manual
Build UK and its members continue to drive health and safety performance in the industry, ensuring that the latest industry-recognised policies and standards are included in the Construction Industry Publications (CIP) Health & Safety Manual.
The latest edition of the Construction H&S Manual features the Build UK Safety Helmet Colours Standard, updated guidance on MEWPs issued in accordance with IPAF and a BCSA review on issues surrounding the Erection of Structures. ARMI has reviewed the Asbestos section, while detail surrounding the Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) Programme, an initiative supported by Build UK, has been amended.
Helping the industry work safely for over forty years, the Construction H&S Manual, also known as the ‘Blue Book’, is a one-stop shop for information and practical guidance on all health and safety issues that affect the construction process. CIP is offering all Build UK members an exclusive 30% discount on the Manual, which will be available on all formats by the end of June 2016.

Jason Rowley, Chairman of the Drafting Panel and Health & Safety Director of Build UK member Carillion, said:
“For good practical up to date advice on health and safety matters, the Construction H&S Manual is a must for everyone involved in construction. Working with Build UK will ensure it is even more relevant on a day to day basis as the ‘go to’ source of information for all things health and safety. It will also keep the manual up to date with industry practices, and provide the more collaborative approach we all want.”
