Do you have a CSCS card, hard hat, High Viz, Boots, etc etc....just make sure ...The site may be relaxed but wouldnt want you to get there and then not be allowed on site.

Take your best sense of humour and some thick skin with you! The new boy always gets a bit of grief on their first day!

I would ask before you set off then . Some smaller sites dont bother but just trying to save you wasting time.

Some people may refer to working on 'site' as a building project (bathroom or kitchen) rather than a contruction site. Hope your lucky and you get the experience you are after. Have you got insurance for workng in other peoples property.
As you can see it's not as straightforward as you'd hope - but these restrictions are there to protect you/the client/and the good name of our industry.
