This vademecum is addressed to those persons in charge of safety in the building sector: Employers, Health and Safety Managers and Workers’ Representatives for Safety. It’s a practical guide, made up of five checklists covering the following topics, related to construction sites:

• hygiene of workplaces;
• excavations;
• scaffoldings;
• machines;
• electrical plants.

Each checklist contains a series of questions, to which the reader may answer YES or NO, in order to verify whether a construction site fulfils the “ethical” requirements needed for safeguarding health and safety. At the end of the vademecum, the main legislative and technical regulations about electrical plants are listed.
