Posted By TONY Did something similar a while back you need to speak to the insurance company and see if your cover would be void, they also require a copy of the risk assessments, notification of what access children will have throughout the building, and procedures for supervision and so on. On another note I live in Hertfordshire and the new A505 tunnels due to open in July 2006 but that did not stop the council holding a kids party on Sunday and theirs me thinking we were trying to stop children accessing construction sites.

Posted By TONY Peter What one you referring to the first or second point, If its the first your right it is a lot of paperwork for what you get out of it. If its the second point i had no dealings with it and very much glad so. One of the biggest dangers is children on building sites now all of sudden the council invites them on, I wonder how many of them have revisited after school when the site is closed. Tony

Posted By Peter MacDonald My response was to the first reply, as for the second, do you know the actual arrangements for the party or are you guessing? I doubt anyone was hanging from scaffolding or dodging site plant. If the site was near completion there may have been little risk. Peter

Posted By TONY Peter far from it Diggers, JCB's, Road surfacing equipment you name it it was present all lined up with buckets in the air which was worrying. Risk factor very high however revenue for the council for staging a christmas party in a tunnel higher. I take it that you don't have much dealings with construction sites?
