HS2 and various contractors have all taken the step to try and improve the overall health and safety for those who work across various safety sites. They have introduced what is being seen as a new health and safety passport and it is going to really push the whole system forward. The new passport is going to be seen as a new way to share important health and safety information across the world. The contract is going to develop and deliver new systems and it is going to try and give the sector support while the current industry struggles to keep moving forward.

Credentials and Skills

As well as ensuring that operatives who have all of the right credentials are permitted to work on-site, this approach is also going to allow HS2 operatives to operate and track workforce data across all different areas. This includes competency mapping and also health and safety announcements too. Where supplier companies and even operatives work across various locations, it would seem that the new system is also going to flag fatigue risks for the project too. The software is going to duplicate any worker profiles and it is also going to help to establish a single record for every operative too. This includes whether or not they are going to move contractors between projects. If you work in the industry of transport recruitment or if you are currently seeking driver jobs or HGV jobs, then this will be of special interest to you.

The introduction of the HS2 commitment means that this is going to be the UK's safest major project. It also means that everyone is going to ensure the health and the welfare of their team as well and this is going to give a level of protection which has been called upon for quite a long time.
