Welcome to the UK Construction Podcast, from the UK Construction Blog.

Health and safety policies are often well-written. But what happens when they meet the reality of a live construction site?

Jimmy Webb speaks with Beth Slade, Founder of Beth Slade Safety Ltd, about the gap between health and safety policy and everyday practice across construction.

The conversation covers:

• Where paperwork and compliance fall short on-site
• Why culture, behaviour, and communication matter
• The risks that accreditations and tick-box systems can miss
• How health and safety is experienced day to day in construction

This episode of the UK Construction Podcast, produced by UK Construction Blog, offers practical insight for anyone responsible for safety, people, or site operations.
