Constructions sites can be an extremely dangerous place to work if the correct safety measures aren’t in place. With the use of machinery, a large number of workers, it is vital to stay on top of the safety aspects of your construction site.

As a manager, it is your responsibility to complete risk assessments for the construction site, and address many issues that arise. All incidents must be recorded in an incident book, even near misses. The record of incidents is to help improve the overall safety as it can be used to reflect upon.

All machinery must be tested before it can be used on the site, while and faulty items must be clearly labelled as out of order, and will need fixing and re-testing before they can be used on site again. Team members must be trained to use each machinery, and deemed competent before they can use it within your construction site.
