520			_aProvides details of recently published figures on the number of fatal and serious injuries that have occurred in the construction industry from 1995/96-1999/00. Describes the reactions of various industry players to these worrying figures. For instance, Nick Raynsford, minister of state for housing, planning and construction, has set out new health and safety targets for the construction board to meet. These include reducing by 50% the number of incidents resulting in injury and ill-health in 10 years, and the number of fatalities and major injuries by two-thirds. Considers the role architects and RIBA have to play in health and safety. Puts the view that safety is achieved by design, and architects must ensure that hazards are removed at the design stage.
