Deaths In The Construction Sector

EDM number 1379 in 2006-07, proposed by Stephen Hepburn on 30/04/2007.

That this House welcomes the publication of `Levels of Convictions and Sentencing following Prosecutions arising from deaths of workers and members of the Public in the Construction Sector', which was commissioned by the Union of Construction Allied Trades and Technicians; notes with concern the report findings that between 1998 and 2004 there were 504 construction deaths, of which only 21 per cent. resulted in conviction, and that the percentage of deaths resulting in a conviction decreased by almost three quarters from 42 per cent. to 11 per cent. in the six-year period; further notes with concern the regional disparities on prosecution and conviction rates and regional disparities on average fine per conviction; and calls on the Government to review the decision to reduce Health and Safety Executive inspector numbers and to record in all future instances of injury and fatality the employment status of workers killed or injured and the name of the client on the job where a fatality or injury occurs and to record the nationality of a worker killed or injured at work.

This motion has been signed by a total of 86 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
