Construction Sites and Excavations

Another element of a construction site is the use of mobile plant and vehicles. Construction sites have a lot of machinery and employees.  Those vehicles perform various tasks and the operator needs to be concentrating on the job as well as safety for those around him to avoid a personal injury claim being made by himself or a fellow co-worker.

As we have mentioned before, some construction sites are also situated close to pedestrian areas and therefore also need to be made secure. The safety of pedestrians is just as important as employees.

When any building work takes place there is a need to make sure the relevant excavations have been carried out to check the foundations and footings. There are several elements of excavations that need to be taken into consideration.
