We expect investment in the UK’s infrastructure to remain at robust levels for the remainder of the decade and our business is well positioned to benefit from this. As they concentrate on their core business, major public and private sector organisations are continuing to outsource support services. This trend is now well established and continues to provide a platform for strong growth in our business. Outsourcing is also developing rapidly in the utilities sector, where the major operators are seeking partners to handle broader aspects of their infrastructure renewal and maintenance activities. The provision of complex technical support services lies at the heart of our outsourcing activities. We focus on working with clients who have sophisticated infrastructures which provide critical support to their core operations. These infrastructures must be well managed and maintained, and our clients understand the false economy of under-funding these activities. Alfred McAlpine is well positioned in growth markets and is focused on working with clients who value our high quality services. It has a strong executive team, skilled and enthusiastic people and a sound financial position. Two thirds of our activities are in support services, offering longer-term, lower-risk earnings and the prospects of double digit growth. Looking forward, I am confident that we will continue to make good progress, which will enable us to create further value for our shareholders.

    HSE Health & Safety Executive A survey of UK approaches to sharing good practice in health and safety risk management Prepared by Risk Solutions for the Health and Safety Executive CONTRACT RESEARCH REPORT 412/2002 HSE Health & Safety Executive A survey of UK approaches to sharing good practice in health and safety risk management E Baker Risk Solutions 1st floor, Central House 14 Upper Woburn Place London, WC1H 0JN United Kingdom The concept of good practice is central to HSE’s approach to regulation of health and safety management. There must therefore be a common understanding of what good practice is and where it can be found. A survey was conducted to explore how industry actually identifies good practice in health and safety management, decides how to adopt it, and how this is communicated with others. The findings are based primarily on a segmentation of the survey results by organisation size, due to homogeneity of the returns along other axes of analysis. A key finding is that there is no common understanding of the term good practice or how this is distinguished from best practice. Regulatory interpretation of good practice is perceived to be inconsistent. Three models were identified: A) Large organisations, primarily in privatised industries, have effective Trade Associations where good practice is developed and guidance disseminated industry-wide. B) Large and medium-sized organisations in competitive industries have ineffective trade associations. They develop good practices in-house and may only share these with their competitors when forced to do so. C) Small organisations have little contact with their competitors.

Not only have you provided me with the valuable material necessary but you have offered friendship that has made your place of work such an enjoyable place for me to be. Your candid contributions never cease to amaze me and for your trust I am truly grateful. Thanks to my supervisors at Loughborough University for their words of wisdom and encouragement. I’ve been connected to the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering on and off since 2008. Whilst I’ve never been permanently based there I have always felt like I belong. I therefore extend this thanks to the wider team at ACBE – you make it a special place to learn. Thank you to all my industrial supervisors (there have been many) for their guidance, with special thanks to Lisa for, in her words, being the best industrial supervisor in the history of industrial supervisors. She’s kind of a big deal.
