There is alot of activity on a construction site from deliveries, machinery, people working at different heights, labourers carrying items to work with, concrete mixers working and generally noise from drills. A site is often such a busy place, but it is still essential to have processes in place to keep work areas tidy and clear from deliveries and waste.

Waste is often created at a construction site and this can be anything from pallets left over to off-cuts of wood or bricks that have been broken or damaged. There is also waste created from sheets of plastic that often protect a delivery aswell as the binding that holds a palletised delivery in place. These items need to be cleared up and disposed off safely and as quick as possible. Plastic can easily move in the wind and cause problems and the bindings can also become a trip hazard if left on a floor.

Off-cuts or broken bits of building materials can be sharp and if left lying on the floor this might also result in someone tripping over the item and the potential issues of compensation claims as a injury on a construction site can be serious.

The clearer the space, the easier it would be to move around on the site, especially on city centre sites like Coventry or Birmingham. If walkways are obstructed this can result in a accident, which might lead to a personal injury claim Nottingham.
