In the UK, securing a construction site is a legal duty mandated by several key pieces of legislation. Compliance requires proactive measures to prevent unauthorized access and criminal activity.
The primary legal requirements stem from:
The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974: This fundamental law obliges employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of their employees and the public. This duty explicitly includes implementing security measures to protect sites from unauthorized entry and theft, which could lead to accidents or injuries.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015): These regulations mandate a coordinated approach to security. Clients, principal designers, and principal contractors must collaborate to identify, assess, and manage risks throughout a project. This joint responsibility includes planning for and mitigating security risks, such as vandalism or theft, from the pre-construction phase onwards.
