Why is site safety important?

Site safety is an essential consideration for all workplaces, but at construction sites, it becomes even more important.

This is because, at building sites, the possibility of accidents and injuries is much higher – making the need to protect the health and well-being of workers, visitors, and bystanders to your site vital.

From a business perspective, this also then reduces:

• Financial losses from the loss of work time and delays
• A loss of pay for workers as a result of sickness or injury
• Problematic lawsuits and insurance claims

Demonstrating compliance is also a legal necessity that, if not met, can result in things like fines or even company shutdowns.

 

Most common types of site safety equipment

While your needs can differ depending on your site, Blok ‘N’ Mesh stocks a selection of site safety products, which generally fit into one of the following categories:

• Traffic management products

Keeping heavy machinery and vehicles away from pedestrians is essential given how much it can reduce the chances of accidents and injuries.

In this instance, site managers may choose to use a range of utility fences, bison, bull, and Chapter 8 traffic barriers, road cones, Wonder wall structures, and water-filled traffic separators.

This array of options allows you to rent or buy the traffic management equipment you need most, to keep your site staff, visitors, and passers-by safe from harm.

• Protection for cranes and storage

Unauthorised access, theft, and criminal damage can be a real issue for construction sites – and untrained people using tower cranes can lead to serious accidents and injury, given their size and potential uses.

Instead of risking it, companies can invest in a Crane Guard™, which maintains the visibility of the base of the crane (which is preferred by health and safety legislation) while also reducing the chances of access.

• General accessories

 Across the site, there are many smaller hazards that need to be protected against lest they cause harm and damage.

Site safety equipment like ladder guards, gas cages, debris netting, and Workgate® 4 gate manhole barriers, keep these other hazards minimised and allow your staff to leave at the end of the day safe in the knowledge that nobody would be hurt.

All you will need to do is arrange the deliveries and returns and amend leases as required to ensure you have the equipment you need to hand.

2.      You are happy to store and maintain your products because you need 24/7 access

You will need to keep on top of routine maintenance and repairs, however, as although site safety equipment is durable and hardwearing, it can become damaged over time, making it less effective.
