When there is alot of development and construction within an area there will be a higher risk of accidents. As a building goes up, the construction needs and development changes and workers (and visitors) need to be aware of this. It is also important to note that if the workers spot a potential risk they should either try and fix this straight away or at least notify an appropriate worker if it cannot be resolved there and then.

One potential risk can be something so simple as using power tools that require an electrical wire. It can be easy to start moving around and drilling without realising the cord has become tangled, or worse still hidden and therefore a potential trip hazard. This is why cordless equipment is used and preferred as there is a lower risk of a trip which might result in an accident claim.

Construction sites based in a city centre, like Nottingham, have their own risks and these need to be documented and resolved. The sites need to be secure to protect unauthorised personnel entering. The perimeter needs to be wide enough to prevent anything falling from a height and landing on a member of the public as this may result in a personal injury claim Nottingham
