520			_aLooks at new research by the "New Civil Engineer" which shows there is still a great deal of confusion or complacency over what can be achieved and who is responsible for taking the lead. Attitudes to health and safety were examined amongst a sample of designers, contractors and clients. Results showed 87% said designers could do more to boost safety, but only 8% believed most accidents on site were down to poor design. The HSE was thought to be in a position to help designers understand their responsibilities to safety by 72% of the sample. Concludes most accidents cannot be put down to a single cause and are usually a combination of design, site issues and bad luck. Graphs and diagrams.
