The Bermuda Construction Safety Council is focused on meeting the demands of the work force in all areas regarding their work life including education, work experience and healthy sporting activities. The council continues to meet at regular intervals at various locations around Bermuda with different themes and discussion topics. and differing views can be met and disputes can be settled amicably. Anyone can sit in free of charge and have their voice heard as well as have their questions answered by local officials and authorities whom have supported those types of initiatives.

The council has open talks with professionals in the Caribbean, North American, Europe and Africa to stay current expand our communication horizons. We encourage access to continued education courses at Bermuda College, Humber College, ACCA, City & Guilds, OSHA & NCCER.  Many of us have paid large sums of money into institutions and associations for certificates, diplomas and degrees and after completion we face the dilemma of how to get a job without experience and how to get experience without a job.

Bermuda has a high quality of trademanship whom have been revered by overseas employers, however, Bermuda has a very low population than that of other countries. Naturally, there is much focus on profit making especially in a countries with high expenses but also we must focus on every aspect leading up to productivity. It is also noted as having a high level of educated individuals however more and more qualified Bermudians are being laid off without employment or are being forced to work in occupations outside of our education. It is imperative that we are able to showcase our talents locally and internationally along side other workman.

We maintain healthy overseas relations with our American and British employers who have invited us to work with them because of the impression we left on them in the working environment as well as with our Caribbean neighbors whom share in our efforts to improve island safety culture and workforce demand. Many of the Caribbean islands have become successful by adopting our model and now have become major players in the global market and if we are to maintain our competitive advantage we must reinvent ourselves according to the times.

Bermuda is known to have a high quality of legislation however that information doesn’t always reach the day to day worker. We have made it our business to answer the questions of workers that have no other voice other than that of the council and to show positive recognition for workers positive contribution.

The architecture of Bermuda has developed over the past four centuries. The archipelago’s isolation, environment, climate, and scarce resources have been key driving points, though inspiration from Europe, the Caribbean and the Americas is evident. Distinctive elements appeared with initial settlement in the early 17th century, and by the second half of that century features that remain common today began to appear.

Pastel Bermuda cottages are often regarded as a hallmark of the island, along with pink beaches and Bermuda shorts; the style has even been described as the country’s only indigenous art form.[1] In addition to the local style, historical military buildings and forts and modern office buildings are highly visible. The historical architecture of Bermuda has received recognition from UNESCO, with the Town of St. George and some twenty-two forts and military facilities in St. George’s Parish being declared World Heritage Sites.
