For Your Safety

Your safety is of paramount importance to us and regardless of whether our building sites are busy or quiet, they are dangerous places. We insist you are accompanied at all times by a member of our sales team, so always report on arrival as there may be a limit as to how far you can go on site.

We will provide you with all protective equipment for your site visit and here are a few common sense rules to follow and typical hazards to look out for:

• Stay with the person who is showing you around
• Couples/groups need to stay together
• Keep to safe defined routes and watch your footing
• Keep away from excavations and trenches
• Be particularly careful when passing under scaffolding and do not linger
• Keep away from stacks of material
• Before passing machinery make sure the operator sees you and acknowledges you
• Never go on site outside daylight hours
• Never climb ladders or scaffolding, material stacks or any part of the construction site
• Please be aware of sharp objects and the possibility of wet paint, adhesives, concrete etc.

Anyone found on site without prior agreement will be escorted out of the area. We cannot take a relaxed view of safety. It is the law.

People can be seriously injured on building sites. Please help us make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Typical hazards include:

• Excavations
• Trip hazards
• Falling material
• Fall of person from height
• Low headroom, scaffolding etc
• Treading on sharp objects
• Plant and machinery
