What action should be taken when stacking materials in a construction site?

When managing materials on a construction site, it is vital to avoid storing them in tree protection zones. Tree protection zones are designated areas intended to preserve the health and integrity of trees, particularly those that are mature or of significant ecological value. Storing materials in these zones can cause soil compaction, damage roots, and lead to potential mortality of the trees, disrupting the ecosystem and increasing erosion risks.

Maintaining clear boundaries for storage not only safeguards vegetation but also promotes better site management and environmental responsibility. Proper material storage practices contribute to minimizing disturbances to the natural environment and help in maintaining the effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures. This approach is essential for ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and best practices in construction site management.
