This requires us to visit the location when a top-up is required, and monitor the plants to ensure that they are in good condition.

The Positive Impact That Living Hoardings Can Have On Your Construction Site

Living building site hoarding works well to block off construction work and traffic movements, and ensures privacy for the area as well as providing the greenest frontage possible for people traveling by. Hoardings that are densely populated with plants also help lower the amount of noise from vehicles and machinery that emanates from the site.

Another advantage of having living hoardings in your home is the improved air quality because of the removal of dust, hazardous particulates, and toxic pollutants from the air through the plants, resulting in better living conditions for the people who work on-site and also those living as well in the region.

Living hoardings are also beneficial to biodiversity by providing a source of food that pollinators can use, such as bees and butterflies.

Why is Signage in Construction Important?

Displaying correctly-lit safety signage for construction sites in construction and building sites is essential to ensure that they meet standards for safety and health that assist in ensuring the safety of workers and visitors and is legally required to reduce the risk.

One of the most effective ways to communicate the safety and health requirements in the construction sector and during construction projects and offer continuous reminders to workers throughout the construction area is through signs! This could range from safety signs for construction sites to fire equipment warnings or simply warning signs or other visible safety rules.

Determining the boundaries is a crucial element of managing risk for the public. It is important to:

•         Decide on the shape the perimeter will take.
•         Fences are provided;
•         Keep the fence in good condition.

What are the characteristics of the site (eg boundary lines for the site or location, as well as proximity to other structures)? In most cases, especially in areas with a lot of people, it will be the installation of a small-sized mesh fence or hoardings around the site.

Authorization: The main contractor must make reasonable efforts to stop non-authorized users from accessing the site. Individuals may be authorized to access the entire site or restricted to specific zones;

You should explain the relevant site rules to authorized people and complete any required site introductions. You may also need to supervise or assist permitted visitors while you are at the site, or in certain locations.

Falling objects – You need to ensure that objects do not be dropped outside of the boundaries of the site. On scaffolds, you can do this by using toe-boards, brick guards, and nets. There may be fans or covered walkways.

Delivery and other vehicles – Be sure that pedestrians will not be hit by the vehicles that are entering or leaving the location. The obstruction of the pavement during delivery could make pedestrians fall to the side of the road, and they may be hit by vehicles.

Access equipment and scaffolding – Stop people who are not within the boundary from being struck when building, dismantling, or using scaffolding or other equipment for access.

Storing and stacking materials – Reduce the risk related to the storage of the materials inside the perimeter of the site and preferably in secure compounds or far from fencing that surrounds the perimeter.

Excavating and openings – People could be injured when they fall through manholes, excavations, staircases, or open floor edges. It is recommended to build barriers or cover.

Similar to fire escapes, hard hats, and safety gear construction sites are legally bound to equip workers with a variety of health and safety warnings that warn workers of risks that could be present and to ensure that they are working in a safe environment.

We know how important it is for construction sites to adhere to the appropriate Health & Safety signposting guidelines to ensure construction workers, site visitors, and people, in general, are protected throughout the day.

3.     Posters
