Safety & Security

Children

Construction sites, with all the equipment, scaffolding, materials and skips can seem tempting to children.

  • Keep your children away from work areas inside and outside your home. Never let children climb scaffolding or play under it.
  • If they could access scaffolding from inside your home, keep doors and windows that would allow this access locked. Make sure that they do not access scaffolding from outside either.
  • Don’t let children play with builders' tools, or climb on builders’ vehicles or play with new materials, rubbish or skips.
  • When builders are working in your home, don't leave children under 16 unsupervised. Remind children how important it is to stick to these rules.
