Providing Bicycles for Travel to Site

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Considerate constructors should encourage their workforce to lead healthy lives and also protect the environment as much as possible. Cycling provides a way for workers to keep fit and also minimise the project’s impact on the environment.

See the examples below for how one site implemented this:

  • The site provided four new bicycles and obtained four recycled bicycles through a local bike recycling enterprise. The bikes were decorated with company livery.
  • The bikes were provided for the workforce to get to and from the offsite car park, providing a quick and healthy way to get to site.
  • To ensure worker safety, the bikes are only available after the operative has taken a cycling proficiency test and agrees to wear a helmet.
