Health and safety in ground works is important to get right - or no construction project can begin. With new buildings and developments being planned and started all the time, having the right preparation and foundations in place is essential for deadlines to be met and timeframes to be kept accurate.
Preparing the ground requires a lot of heavy duty and complex machinery and tools to be used, and these can be the cause of accidents if not used properly. Health and safety will make sure all the staff working on the site are following the right procedures and kept safe while doing so.
Health and safety is an important area for any business to get right, but ground works health and safety is even more crucial. Not only does it impact future construction work, but if your business is not compliant with all the laws and regulations, it could bring fines and penalties. Any accidents or injuries can also lead to compensation packages or expensive legal fees, which isn’t what you should be focusing on.
A part of health and safety in ground works is making sure staff can use the equipment they need to complete their work. This prevents injuries, which can delay projects, but also makes sure workers are as productive as possible. Training in this equipment, as well as the processes for specific situations, can prepare staff for whatever may come.
Health and safety regulations can change regularly, and this means changes need to be made to documents and policies. Without an experienced consultant, you’ll have to handle this yourself, which is a distraction from the more important tasks you have to complete. This is just one of the ways we can help keep your business on track.
