An employer must
always carry out a risk assessment in the form of an
investigation conducted to identify whether any
particular act or operation gives rise to a safety risk
or hazard. It goes without saying that construction is a
"high risk" industry. Employers must ensure that
employees are working in conditions that comply with
regulations and minimise the risk of injury at all
times. There are a vast number of hazards that exist in
construction and an employer has a strict duty to
safeguard the welfare and the wellbeing of all
employees.

Here are some
general management guidelines that must now be adhered
to on construction sites in the UK:
• A list of all
contractors names should be provided to us before work
starts.
• All contractors should sign in and out of
the site at the beginning and end of each working day.
• All accidents should be reported in our company
accident book.
• The site must be left in a clean and
tidy state at the end of each day.
• No tools or other
equipment may be left lying around areas used by staff
due to the risk of accidents.
• Wherever possible,
materials must be brought onto the premises before or
after core business hours.
Electrical safety is also one area where additional
safeguards must be put in place. Read more about
electrical safety and PAT testing in the UK.
