Safety barriers and traffic management solutions from SafeSite Facilities

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) came into force on 6 April 2015, replacing CDM 2007. These regulations legislate that all construction projects must be carried out, from concept to completion, in a way that secures health and safety.

This includes a responsibility on the principal contractor to prevent unauthorised access to site, and to work with other contractors to physically define the site boundaries using suitable barriers.

SafeSite Facilities has a range of safety barriers and traffic management solutions for directing traffic flow and managing vehicle and pedestrian access on a variety of sites.

Concrete barriers

Concrete barrier blocks or jersey barriers are a simple and effective way to secure a building site against unwelcome visits from trespassers, vandals, or fly-tippers. Due to their weight, they can provide a robust barrier around areas of water or other hazardous spaces. Temporary concrete road barriers can be a useful tool to safely control traffic flow, protecting both the passing public and site operatives.

Water filled barriers

Water filled barriers are sturdy plastic barriers often used on construction sites for safety and separation and around road works to guide traffic, provide temporary roadblocks and protect passers-by. When they’re empty they can easily be stacked, stored and transported, ready to be filled on site when required.
All of the barriers available from SafeSite Facilities can be interlocked, enabling the construction of a solid, straight line and corners, as needed, for maximum safety and security. The water-filled barriers come fitted with anti-tamper plugs and an anti-climb finish is available as an additional option to ensure once the safety barriers are installed they’ll stay put. For more information about water filled barriers click here.

Street works barriers and accessories

As well as heavy-duty concrete and water-filled road barriers, SafeSite Facilities also provides a selection of street works barriers designed to prevent accidents in or around excavations. Access ramps and speed bumps are also available in addition to ground protection options to help ensure land looks its best once construction is complete.
