This is all useful stuff. If more people got interested in their own safety on site it would make things a lot easier for everyone. The obvious place for everyone to have a browse is the Health and Safety Executive website http://www.hse.gov.uk/, - the downloadable information about working in excavations, regulations and best practice regarding safety helmets, and site welfare at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/conindex.htm are clearly relevant but there's a lot more of note if you look around. The site also has links to other areas - most notably http://www.riddor.gov.uk/, which is the website to visit if an accident actually takes place on site and it needs to be reported.
