Laying slabs Risk Assessment

A comprehensive Risk Assessment for laying slabs.

Installing paving slabs requires a systematic approach to ensure a durable and stable surface. The process begins with site preparation, which includes clearing and levelling the area. Next, a sub-base is added to promote drainage and provide stability; this step is crucial for preventing the slabs from shifting over time. Following the sub-base, a mortar bed is laid to create a solid foundation for the slabs. Carefully placing the slabs on this bed is crucial for alignment and appearance. Finally, the joints between the slabs need to be filled with grout or sand to secure them in place and enhance their longevity. Proper attention to each of these steps will contribute to the overall durability and functionality of the paving.
