520 _aProvides details of the disturbing figures for deaths on construction sites between April and December 2000. On 27 February 2001 a construction industry health and safety summit, called by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, was held at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London to address this worrying trend. Describes the ten new action plans drawn up by major umbrella groups involved in construction work, and launched at this summit. Suggests that these initiatives may be the construction industry's last chance to put its house in order, in terms of health and safety. If it fails to do so, government is likely to act by introducing new legislation. Tables.
