Securing the site

Is work paused for a few days or weeks, for example during the holidays? The site must stay safe for its surroundings even without us.

Why?

  • Children and passers-by cannot enter the site.
  • Nobody falls into a pit or trips over material.
  • Equipment and materials are not stolen or damaged.

Checklist before leaving

  • Fences are secured and linked.
  • Pits and trenches are closed or fenced off.
  • Cabins, containers and switch cabinets are locked; keys are stored safely.
  • Road plates, cables and pipes lie stable and are no trip hazard.
  • Barriers and diversions have been checked.
