Safety Information
Onshore construction site safety
We're working hard to build new energy infrastructure — and we want everyone to stay safe while we do it. If you're passing by a worksite, please take a moment to follow a few simple rules.
Keep your distance from works and machinery.
Stay well back from machines, banks of earth and any open trenches — even if they look unattended.
Obey signage and barriers.
Do not cross barriers or enter fenced-off areas. Follow any instructions on signs — they're put in place to protect you.
Use designated safe routes.
Follow the marked routes for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. If a diversion is in place, please use it.
Follow traffic diversions.
Obey diversion signs, traffic marshals and temporary lights, and allow extra time. Do not drive around barriers or follow sat-nav routes into closed areas.
Extra care for cyclists and horse riders.
Slow down, keep to the signed path and give machines a wide berth. If a site worker signals you to stop or slow, please follow their direction.
If you're unsure or see something unsafe.
Don't approach machinery. Find a site office or a nearby worker, or report your concern to the number on the site noticeboard. In an emergency, call local emergency services.
