Year after year, the construction industry sees the most workplace accidents in the UK. A building site is inherently hazardous, with employees using powerful equipment and tools, working at a height and lifting heavy materials. There’s also a whole array of potential slip and trip hazards, including pipework, loose cabling and building materials. Winter introduces cold, icy, wet conditions and reduced daylight hours into the mix, increasing the potential for workplace accidents.
At this time of year, construction sites face heightened challenges in maintaining safety standards. To ensure everyone goes home safe and sound, construction companies must be well-versed in the relevant winter safety regulations and implement them effectively. Thorneycroft can play a crucial role in ensuring compliance and protecting workers’ rights.

Whatever the reason, it isn’t a straightforward process and speaking with a solicitor experienced in agricultural conveyancing will bring you much-needed support at every stage of the process.
Agricultural conveyancing is a specialised area of law that deals with the transfer of land and property for agricultural purposes. It is a complex process that presents unique challenges and requires the right legal support to protect all parties involved. It involves a thorough understanding of property law, agricultural tenancy law, environmental regulations and historical land use patterns. From easements and boundaries to restrictive covenants and targeted tax benefits, there are many elements unique to rural land transactions that don’t come into play in standard conveyancing.
