Considerate Constructors Scheme says workers are reporting concerns over safety of materials used on new builds
The construction sector is “sleepwalking” towards the next cladding tragedy because of a “culture of silence”, according to a non-profit organisation tasked with raising standards in the industry.
The Considerate Constructors Scheme makes 10,000 monitoring visits to construction sites every year in an effort to raise standards, and its logo is seen on the hoardings of thousands of construction sites across the country.
