Construction site safety
Construction site safety encompasses all measures and processes aimed at preventing accidents at work and protecting the health of all persons involved in construction.
This includes the development and implementation of safety concepts, compliance with legal regulations, the identification and assessment of hazards and the coordination of all safety aspects during the construction project. The aim is to ensure a safe working environment and minimize the risks for everyone involved.
Construction sites are considered to be working environments with a significantly increased hazard potential and therefore an increased risk of accidents. For this very reason, it is essential to take all necessary safety aspects into account when planning and executing the construction project.
The central legal basis for this is the Construction Site Ordinance (BaustellV). This regulates the special requirements regarding safety on construction sites. If a client disregards the regulations of the Construction Site Ordinance and an accident at work occurs, there is a risk of high compensation claims, fines, closure of operations or even criminal prosecution in addition to the closure of the construction site.
