If you work on a construction site or in any industry that involves the use of heavy machinery, then you will find there are plenty of safety notices, guards and warnings in place to make sure you operate all machinery safely so as to reduce the risk of a personal injury.

This blog is about everything to do with construction sites and health and safety on the sites. Imagine that any workplace can be a place full of hazards from slipping and tripping to the more serious accident claim as a result of serious injury. A construction site is no different and there are even more hazards to be aware of, from ground level upwards.

As the posts progress, we will be looking into the different types of hazards on a building/construction site to the organisation and observation that goes into managing these hazards. Get your hard hat and grab a brew as we start with the overall basics of construction site safety.
