Three tips to manage risk in construction in schools

Three tips to manage risk in construction in schools:

  1. Ensure you have a properly secured construction site. You need 1.8m high temporary fencing to the entire perimeter of the work area, including any construction storage.
  2. Schedule all deliveries for when children are in class. Kids love trucks and machines, but kids and machines don’t mix.
  3. All vehicles must be shepherded from the public road until they’re inside the fenced compound. There are always kids about, even in class time, and someone walking by the vehicle can cover all the blind spots.

Health and safety in the shade industry

We were so keen on shade, we made it official.

We’re never satisfied with casual, careless or superficial. When it comes to shade, we won’t settle for anything less than long-term. It has to be the perfect marriage of function and form. So we set out to raise the industry benchmark for safety, quality and environmental standards through independent assessment. Yep, we actually choose to be audited. We renew our vows every year, to make sure our structures last the test of time.
