During 2009, 53 people were killed on UK construction and demolition sites. Horrendous though that statistic is, it is nothing compared to the 1,500+ people that died within the industry from a variety of health conditions, many of them preventable.

Constructing Better Health (CBH) is a not-for-profit organisation established to address this situation and to:

• provide demolition contractors with a fitter, healthier workforce
• provide demolition workers with improved levels of personal health
• provide employers and employees with access to information to improve occupational health and to safeguard site safety

Demolition News spoke to Michelle Aldous, CBH chief executive, and Wendy Stimson, CBH occupational health director, to find out more.
