News
Who is responsible when someone gets onto your site?
Site security is usually bought like a commodity - a cost line on the preliminaries, weighed against the insurance excess and the value of the plant. Framed that way it looks like a commercial decision about loss, and commercial decisions can be delegated. The regulations frame it differently, and that gap is where contractors get caught.
The duty sits with the principal contractor
CDM 2015, at regulation 13(4)(b), requires the principal contractor to ensure the necessary steps are taken to prevent access by unauthorised persons to the construction site.
It is a health and safety duty, not a commercial one: there need be no theft, no damage and no claim for it to be breached. The standard is "necessary steps", measured against the actual risk of that site rather than against budget or habit.
The duty can be discharged through a contracted provider. It cannot be transferred to one. Appointing a competent security company is a legitimate way of meeting the obligation, but the obligation does not leave the principal contractor's hands.
Trespass does not remove the exposure
www.albrighton-group.co.uk/construction-site-security-law/
Under section 1 of the Occupiers' Liability Act 1984 a duty can be owed to someone who is not a lawful visitor, where the occupier knows of a danger and has reason to believe someone may come into its vicinity. On a live site that is routine: open excavations, unguarded edges and accessible plant are known dangers, known because the site team created them.
Section 37 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 allows a director or manager to be personally guilty where an offence is attributable to their consent, connivance or neglect.
What enforcement looks like
In December 2025 a residential developer was fined £45,000 with an £18,000 surcharge and £6,297 costs - £69,297 in total - after inspectors found missing and damaged security fencing. No theft, no loss of plant, no claim. The case turned on the condition of the perimeter.
In September 2025 a housing provider was prosecuted under sections 3(1) and 37 after a five-year-old suffered a fractured skull at a site near a primary school. The section 37 charge is the point: it reached beyond the company.
Records matter more than the specification
After an incident, what is examined is not what the specification said but what can be shown to have been in place. A patrol log with times, an access record naming who came through the gate, a written report of what an officer found and did - that is the evidence.
