Since the regulations of the work protection act were insufficient for the special requirements and conditions of construction work, the Federal Government introduced the so-called Construction Site Regulations in 1998. These regulations govern the implementation of an EU directive on construction work (92/57/EWG).
The special features of construction work with regard to work safety lie in the high costs and pressure of time, the often insufficient language and technical training of the workers, and at the same time ever increasing numbers of contractors working on site.
Due to the construction site regulations, the builder is burdened by the following additional obligations:
-
Notification of large building sites to the responsible authority
-
Engaging of a health and safety coordinator
-
Drawing up a health and safety plan
-
Creating documentation of the construction project
VIB, as experienced engineering office, provides all required services concerned with the construction site regulations individually or as one package.
