CONSTRUCTION firm Bluestone, which has offices in Ashworth Road, Swindon, has launched a campaign to try and reduce falls on building sites, the single biggest cause of workplace deaths.
The campaign aims to give employees and subcontractors help and guidance in staying safe, when on a site, or at home.
Between 50 and 60 workers are killed each year in the construction industry from falls, and about 4,000 suffer serious injuries.
Bluestone's health and safety director Dave Thompson said: "Employers have a duty to ensure that the people they employ have completely thought through their actions."
