Bricklayers, AKA brickies, are highly skilled tradespeople who specialise in constructing and repairing various structures, including walls, chimneys, and other architectural elements, using bricks, concrete blocks, and stone. Their expertise lies in the physical act of laying bricks and in understanding the underlying principles of structural integrity and design.
These craftsmen meticulously lay bricks in mortar, strategically trimming and cutting each piece to ensure a perfect fit. They are adept at aligning and waterproofing the constructions they build, which is crucial for durability and longevity. Bricklayers often create enduring structures, such as building foundations, load-bearing walls, and chimneys, each of which requires specific techniques to ensure stability and compliance with local building codes.
In their daily work, bricklayers pay great attention to detail, skillfully arranging bricks and other masonry units in precise patterns. They employ mortar—a mixture of cement, sand, and water—as a binding agent to cohesively unite these materials, resulting in a robust and lasting framework.
Equipped with an array of specialised tools—such as trowels, hammers, chisels, and jointers—bricklayers execute the fine details of their craft, including the creation of decorative patterns or custom shapes, which often necessitates cutting bricks to fit unique designs or when constructing curved walls. To ensure accuracy and integrity in their work, they perform critical measurements of work areas, carefully setting out the first rows of bricks or blocks as a foundation for the entire structure. They utilise precise tools like spirit levels and plumb lines to confirm that each layer is properly aligned and level, thus safeguarding against structural issues.
In addition to new construction, bricklayers are essential to restoring and refurbishing existing brickwork and stonework, particularly in heritage and restoration projects. They possess a deep understanding of historical masonry techniques and materials, allowing them to faithfully replicate original designs and ensure restored structures retain their historical significance.

Accidents caused by falls from height or objects falling from height are a persistent hazard in numerous sectors of the construction industry, and bricklaying is no exception. Other common risks in this industry include manual handling incidents and slips, trips, and falls co-occurring.
Products such as cement and lime pose risks of accidental injuries to eyes and skin and can cause long-term diseases from breathing in dust and long-term contact.
Hearing loss, eye and skin damage from objects being ejected from power tools, moving parts, and hand-arm vibration are all risks associated with power tools such as rotating saws and angle grinders.
Sunburn and skin damage from long-term sun exposure are risks that need consideration.

- Approved by H&S managers.
"Our customers' feedback serves as a testament to the value of our products."
Most companies now request the standard H&S documents included in this product and a company H&S policy if they employ five or more staff.
However, the list of additional documents that some principal contractors or CDM sites ask for can be far greater and include such things as staff training records, an anti-slavery policy, a lone worker policy, an equality and diversity policy, a waste management policy and more, depending on the principal contractor's request.
We’re often asked why we don’t include a company H&S policy within this document. This is because the H&S policy isn’t specific to the works you are tendering for. Instead, it lists your company's general approach to H&S, including who is responsible for what.
The construction industry has a higher rate of accidents and fatalities than many other industries. Due to this, it is essential to consider providing training for all staff in manual handling, asbestos awareness, working at height, and slips, trips, and falls. Online courses are readily available for these types of training, allowing staff to complete them on their preferred device at a time and location that suits them.
Job-specific training is equally essential and can be conducted in various ways, such as toolbox talks, handing out flyers, notices, risk and method statements, or a simple chat. Ignoring the importance of job-specific training can lead to severe consequences. For instance, if you promise a contract manager that your staff will perform a specific task in a certain way but fail to communicate it to your staff, it can result in disastrous outcomes.
