The holiday period means more children and young people spending time outdoors exploring their local surroundings.
As school summer holidays are now upon us across the entire country, we are again reminding construction companies of their duties to keep children out of their site and away from danger.
While rare, children have tragically lost their lives, and others have been injured, after accessing unsecure and unsafe construction sites.
Those in control of construction sites must ensure that they are secure, fenced off where necessary, well-maintained and protected from unauthorised access.
- For further information HSE urges construction companies to strengthen site security
- HSE guidance on how to manage the risks and protect the public
