What Our Site Inspections in Wexford Cover

A Safety Check site inspection in Wexford is a structured, documented examination of your construction site against the requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Our inspectors work through a comprehensive checklist covering:

**Working at height:** Scaffolding erection, inspection tagging, edge protection, and safe access routes are examined against the requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007.

**Excavation and groundworks:** Shoring, battering, and proximity to services are checked against Schedule 8 of the Construction Regulations 2013.

**Plant and machinery:** Operator competency records, pre-use inspection logs, and segregation of plant from pedestrian routes are reviewed.

**Welfare facilities:** Sanitary accommodation, changing facilities, rest rooms, and drinking water provision are checked against Schedule 4 of the Construction Regulations 2013.

**Fire prevention:** Hot work permits, fire extinguisher provision, emergency evacuation procedures, and assembly points are examined.

**Documentation:** Your Safety Statement, Construction Phase Safety and Health Plan, Risk Assessments, and Method Statements are reviewed to confirm they are site-specific, current, and accessible to workers.

The Legal Requirement for Site Inspections in Wexford

Under Regulation 16 of the Construction Regulations 2013, the PSCS (Project Supervisor Construction Stage) is required to ensure that the construction site is managed and organised in a manner that ensures the safety, health, and welfare of persons at work. Regular site inspections are the primary mechanism through which the PSCS discharges this duty.

The HSA's published inspection data consistently shows that inadequate supervision and failure to identify and correct hazards are among the most common enforcement actions on Irish construction sites. A documented programme of regular site inspections by a competent person is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate compliance and avoid enforcement action.
