Health, Safety and Environmental.
Health and Safety of our workers and the public is a top priority for Rhatigan ABM Ltd. We have drafted a traffic management plan that will be implemented for the duration of the construction works to minimise the impact on the public and residents. The site will be fully secured for the duration of the works and most of the works will be carried out within the confines of this area.
It is important that children understand that construction sites are not a safe place to play, and they should not try to enter construction sites at any time. We would appreciate parents’ assistance in getting this point across to young children.
Construction sites are defined as high-risk work areas with those who work on-site having specialised training and equipment to undertake their tasks. Once established on site JJ Rhatigan/ABM will be completing school visits/community initiatives to outline this.
Upcoming Works.
Upcoming works in January include completion of soft landscaping, installation of wearing course to the roadway & carpark areas, line marking and site signage. Internally we will be testing & commissioning all systems when power is connected to the building. Following on form testing & commissioning we will complete demonstrations for the designers to witness head of registration with Building Control. All remaining site facilities will be decanted from site in January and cleaning will be completed internally and externally.
We apologies in advance for any inconvenience the construction activities may cause and also to thank you for your patience and consideration. Please be advised that it is our policy to ensure that all efforts be made to ensure minimal disruption to the neighbourhood for the duration of the construction period.
