The UK Health and Safety Executive states that any builder, worker or sub contractor is responsible for the health and safety on a site, regardless of the size of the project or the size of the company. It even applies to all self employed contractors. Furthermore it advises that small builders should ‘keep people, away from danger’ by fencing off where the work is taking place and using signs to warn people to keep clear or that work is underway.
