Closing the construction compliance gap

More than one in five contractors say written safety policies differ from what happens on site.

New research from CHAS reveals a disconnect between confidence in construction health and safety and how compliance is being applied in practice, with 22% of contractors saying written safety policies often or very often differ from what actually happens on site.

Based on research with 500 construction contractors, the report explores health and safety practices, competence, supply chain assurance and the changing expectations facing the construction industry.

In this report, you’ll discover:

  • Where gaps remain between written policies and on-site practice
  • The biggest barriers to meeting safety requirements
  • How the Building Safety Act 2022 is changing the way organisations demonstrate competence
  • How contractor competence is being checked and monitored across the supply chain
  • What contractors believe could help strengthen compliance in the future
