    Reporting of unsafe work practise and work place areas have been made to foreman and project manager,who until now almost a week later have chosen to ignore this.There is a risk of injury here on site ,but there is continued ignoring of our requests.What can we do before injury occurs.

    Yep OP, you need to contact the Health and Safety Authority immediately if your superiors are ignoring a reported problem.

    Have you notified them in writing or by email so there is a record of it? If they have not addressed your concerns I think it is important to have a record of it for the HSA

    thanks for replies everyone.we spoke to foreman and employers and were told that if we dont like it ,f??k off.Now some of us are dependent on this work for now so dont really know what to do.There are also sub contractors here with no insurance of any kind.This place is a catastrophe waiting to happen.Do you have to give your details to HSA when you contact them(we thought of an anonymous call for obvious reasons.

    I guess a call to the HSA should be sufficient to get the ball rolling. It may be no harm to take photos as evidence.
