A rally to protest against proposals to scrap tower crane regulations will take place this Tuesday lunchtime outside the Department for Work and Pensions office in London, reports Construction News.
The union-backed Construction Safety Campaign has called for the rally in support of the Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes Regulations 2010, whose abolition was proposed by the Lofstedt review of Government regulations. The regulations require firms to notify the HSE whenever a crane is installed.
The demonstration coincides with the end of the Health and Safety Executive’s consultation on the abolition of the rules, which were introduced after a member of the public was killed by a falling crane in Battersea, south London.
