Contractors and those entities in control of a construction site are obligated to manage work so that operatives can move safely around the site. One improvement that can prevent slips and trips is the Safety Platforms site safety access ramp.
The HSE guidance states that sites should be kept in a clean, orderly condition. Doing so reduces the chance of potential injuries due to slips and trips. Each year, several thousand construction site workers whilst working on a building site through a slip or trip. The HSE advise that around 1000 of the slip and trip accidents result in a more serious injury such as fractured bones or dislocated joints. Many of these accidents could have been avoided with effective proactive management of work areas and access routes. Slips and trips can easily occur where there is a small change in levels such as a doorway entry or site cabin entry point. The Safety Platforms steel mesh access ramp can help reduce slips and trips providing safer access.
