As we approach the Easter break, with hopefully some improvement in the weather coinciding with the school holidays, there is the potential for increased trespass.

Site teams are asked to review their risk assessments and procedures to ensure suitable precautions are in place to deter trespassers. These include fencing and signage at site boundaries and other significant hazards, minimising the risk to trespassers from hazards such as open water, access to heights and excavations, mobile plant and confined spaces.

In light of the recent increased risk to diesel security, additional diesel security measures are also recommended. Consideration should be given to active and dormant / vacant sites under our control.

In addition to reviewing the risk assessments, it is important to ensure relevant inspection and maintenance schemes are kept up to date.
