A record number of 74 companies – up by almost half on 2005 and reflecting the safety record of almost half of the association’s contractor membership – took part in this annual exercise. Its newly published report, the 10th of its type, covers the period January 1 to December 31 2007.
“Safety statistics are a useful insight into the performance of a company in the vital areas of health, safety and environment,” said IMCA chief executive, Hugh Williams.
He added: “The purpose of the statistics is to record the safety performance of IMCA contractor members each year and to enable IMCA members to benchmark the performance. The continued increase in reporting from member companies is a good thing and is to be encouraged.”
