Safety The organisation of the building site was an important part of the project. Due to the limited space on the site, it was necessary to organize it as efficiently and safely as possible. Safety is an important aspect in a project in which you are almost completely dependent on volunteers. The minimal safety requirements that we had set were to oblige the use of a helmet and safety shoes, while we also made sure that everyone could wear proper clothing for the extremely cold conditions. Furthermore, it was important to make sure no unexpected visitors would enter the building site. Therefore Saher-Aidat sponsored fences to place around the building site. Of course people were welcome to visit, even during the construction, but they were only allowed on the site together with someone from the building team to escort them. This is all mentioned in a safety plan provided by our students in cooperation with Arcadis. Safety is an important aspect, but a good insurance policy for the entire project and project team is from equally importance. AON, a leader in risk management, employee benefi ts and insurance, has sponsored the insurance of the project. 29
