This helps to stop unauthorised people from getting onto the site and potentially injuring themselves. It also stops people passing by the site from being injured by machinery or debris. In addition, fencing is key for construction <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/on-site-security\/\" title=\"3 effective ways to beef up on-site security in 2020\">site security<\/a> as it stops intruders from stealing materials or equipment.

For example, a big mistake many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-for-industry\/\" title=\"How to look after your industrial site properly\">sites make is not properly<\/a> controlling access during the day. This can see people simply wandering onto a site and helping themselves with tools or materials but putting themselves at risk, and you at threat of a lawsuit. But, of course, it could also threaten workers&#8217; physical safety if the intruder attacked them.
