Planning Portal partner with HSE to deliver guidance on working safely

No matter what kind of development you are involved in, working safely should always be a top priority. At the Planning Portal we are committed to providing our users with the information they need to complete projects safely. That’s why we are delighted to announce our new partnerships with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Construction Industry Advisory Committee (CONIAC).

We have been working with both organisations to bring simple but essential information to our readers about working safely. Visitors to the site can now find recommendations on how to get work done safely and without causing ill-health or injury.

This new information comes as part of our ‘common projects’ advice and sits within sections relating to basements, roofs, loft conversions and external walls.  Information can also be accessed through our interactive house.

Partnerships such as these are part of the Portal’s ongoing mission to provide valuable, accurate and up-to-date advisory content to enhance the planning and building control processes. We hope this new information will be helpful to professionals and homeowners alike.
