Working Well Together Southwest

Working Well Together (WWT) is a construction industry initiative put in place to improve health and safety in the construction industry, particularly in the small and micro businesses. Started in 1998, WWT has gone on to become the most successful, health and safety initiative within the construction industry. The South West Working Well Together Group covers the counties of Gloucestershire, West of England (formerly Avon), Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. We meet monthly to plan our events. Please contact wwtswg@gmail.com to find out where our next planning meeting is. The aims of the WWT initiative are: To improve health and safety knowledge and good practice within the construction industry and seek to continuously improve health, safety and welfare performance in the construction industry. To provide practical advice and assistance to the construction industry on the provision and maintenance of healthy and safe working environments. To encourage co-operation between members in relation to sharing knowledge of health and safety matters. To promote training and learning in health and safety. To provide free or low cost information, advice and training to employers and workers in the construction industry. To stage events where at least half the people who attend will be from small businesses (15 or fewer employees) and 20% are micro businesses (5 or fewer employees). The WWT Groups also stage events for specific topics, audiences and scenarios such as asbestos, scaffolding, college road shows, Designer Awareness Days (DADs) and mock trials.
