Construction Business Review

Expert Health and Safety Consultancy

Shaun Ashmead, Managing Director, ligtasShaun Ashmead, Managing Director
The construction industry covers a wide range of activities, from large-scale construction projects to very small house renovations. It employs more than 18 million people and contributes to 9 percent of the EU’s GDP. With so many employees to take care of, basic health and safety and legal practices must be adhered to in construction sites. For several decades, the construction industry has had poor health and safety records. But those times have passed, and with the OSH Framework Directive, minimum safety and health requirements are now mandatory at construction sites. Construction companies seldom have the expertise to adhere to these safety compliances. Ligtas Limited—a health safety, and environmental consultancy service provider—is solving this problem and helping construction companies stay compliant with the regulations.

Ligtas offers consultancy in 5 key areas, which are health and safety, fire safety, construction safety, water safety, and training.
