By their very nature construction sites are temporary in
nature, and throughout the project constantly changing in
their appearance, layout and traffic/pedestrian routes.
Other issues will be weather related; heavy rain, snow or
high winds may cause the following issues:
 delays due to unsafe conditions, or repairs required to
scaffolding, excavations, tower cranes, etc. which can
lead to financial penalty clauses being activated by the
client.

Time pressure and financial constraints set by the client can
cause issues and problems, with the temptation being to
compromise on the arrangements for safeguarding the
health safety and welfare of those working on the
construction site, visitors and members of the public.
What aspects of construction site safety could be
affected if compromises are made?

Compromises can include:

 Non-segregation of tasks taking place at below ground
level, ground level and those taking place at height
 Lifting of materials, fabricated sections, etc. over areas
where employees are working
 Non-segregation of pedestrian and vehicle routes,

Other management issues facing the construction industry is
the increasing employment of migrant labourers from
outside of the UK.
In 2007:
 Migrant labour accounted for 6% of the UK’s
construction workforce – in Greater London this
accounted for 26% of those employed in the

The answer is both
 the gangmaster and construction employer both have a
duty of care and should liaise to ensure appropriate risk
assessments, personal protective equipment, training
and appropriate supervision are in place.
Before any migrant worker starts on a construction
site what should be determined by the employer?

command of English – using accredited translators, use of
non-verbal visual training aids
 Translation of any critical safety information, such as fire and

procedures,
risk

industry:
 Reducing the incidence rate for fatalities and major

 Reducing the incidence rate of cases of work-related ill
health by 20% by 2004/2005 and by 50% by 2009/2010
