Slips and Trips On A Construction Site

A construction site that is based in a city centre like Birmingham, Coventry or Nottingham has other considerations to make sure that slips, trips or falls are monitored. Any accidents may well result in a personal injury claim Nottingham.

If this has not been planned effectively, deliveries to a city centre construction site can also cause problems. Supplies like hazardous chemicals, bricks and glass will need to be delivered straight onto the site and not left outside the construction site under any circumstances from a practical, logistical and cost effective angle aswell as health and safety of the public as any items that are loose may run the risk of falling onto the general public. There should be a designated area for deliveries to keep the volume of delivery traffic onsite to a minimum.

Workers that are working on a construction site need to be aware of cabling when using power tools. The preferred option is cordless tools to avoid the risk of tripping over electrical cables that are powering the tools. If you are drilling and generating dust there is a good chance that the dust will cover the floor and then cover the cabling, which is not visible will become a trip hazard and this might result in an accident claim.
