Building & Construction Works Risk Assessment Pack

Are you planning an extension, renovation or refurbishment of your Early Years or School Age Care service? Or perhaps construction works are taking place on a neighbouring property?

Our Building & Construction Works Risk Assessment Pack has been developed to support service providers and managers in identifying, assessing and managing potential risks before and throughout construction works.

What's Included in the Pack?

1. Building & Construction Works Risk Assessment

A comprehensive risk assessment template covering a wide range of potential hazards associated with construction, renovation, extension and maintenance works.

The assessment includes suggested control measures and space to record additional actions and responsibilities.

2. Daily Construction Works Safety Check

A short, practical Monday–Friday safety checklist designed for management to complete each morning while construction works are ongoing.

It helps services monitor essential safety arrangements, identify new hazards and record any actions required to maintain a safe environment.

3. Printable Construction Safety Signs

A selection of four visual signs to help communicate important safety information to parents, staff, visitors and contractors:

• Building Works in Progress
• Construction Area – No Unauthorised Access
• Temporary Entrance / Access Route
• Caution – Construction Vehicles

These signs can be displayed in relevant areas to help raise awareness of construction activities and temporary safety arrangements.

Who Is This Pack For?

This resource is suitable for Early Years and School Age Care services undertaking building extensions, renovations, refurbishments or maintenance works, as well as services affected by construction activities on neighbouring premises.

Important: This pack provides general risk assessment templates and supporting resources. Each service must review and adapt the documents to reflect its specific circumstances, construction activities and identified risks. The pack does not replace any site-specific assessments or safety arrangements required from contractors.
