German term

Baustellenverweis

German to English Tech/Engineering Law (general)
This is part of contract for installing electrics in a biogas plant. The subcontractor is asked to direct any queries or questions they may have to the main contractor and not the owner of the building/plant.

Es ist dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass sich die Kolonnen des AN daran halten, da bei Zuwiderhandlungen von einzelnen Mitarbeitern von der Möglichkeit des Baustellenverweises Gebrauch gemacht wird.

Here is an actual example used in much the same context:
"During the intensive debris removal operation, officials from both the EPA and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, though visible at the site, opted to maintain an "advisory role," records show. Therefore, no one forced workers -- through threat of fines or expulsion from the site -- to wear respirators until very late in the six-month effort." (See http://www.dailypress.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-nywhit0... ).
Peer comment(s):

agree Alan Johnson : My choice. To expel from the site as in to expel from school. Or to bar from the site.

thank you, Ingeborg !
neutral Kim Metzger : "expulsion is primarily applicable to expel s.o. from a country". What do you base this statement on? /It's typically used in reference to being forced out of a school, eg. /Confusing it with "deport"?

on the comments provided by the various dictionaries in connection with expel
neutral Derek Gill Franßen : I disagree with your added note. For some examples, see http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=1&ct=...

neutral writeaway : a good example of why relying on dictionaries isn't a great way to go. no dictionary will ever replace what people know instinctively about their own language.

agree mary austria : It also fits best (verb/noun structure) into the sentence.

site-related reprimands

verweis is broader in meaning than just lock-out, see link e.g.

(rough translation of) bei Zuwiderhandlungen von einzelnen Mitarbeitern von der Möglichkeit des Baustellenverweises Gebrauch gemacht wird. --> for violations we will exercise our right to issue reprimands
Peer comment(s):

neutral Derek Gill Franßen : That it is one of the possible sanctions is clear (as evidenced by "bei Zuwiderhandlungen"), but the sanction itself is getting kicked off the site--or?
4 mins
it may be implied, but if you search the attached dissertation you will see that "verweis" in the baustellenkontext is used broadly as "reprimand" (see my translation (now added) above)
neutral Ken Cox : How then do you interpret ‘Im Rahmen seiner Fürsorgepflicht hat der... Arbeitsgeber... im Falle eines Baustellenverweises für den sichheren Heimweg zu sorgen’ or distinguish between Misbilligung, Verwarnung, Abmahnung, and Verweis?
45 mins
Whatever. The reprimand is the last step of a procedurally effective process in which the employee on site is given the opportunity to modify or correct his behavior. It is only once the reprimand is issued that the employee is removed from the site.

dismissal from the (construction) site

I think this works. If you do a Web search for "dismissed from the site" you'll find 6800+ occurrences, and "dismissal from the site" turns up more than 24,000 hits.

"The behind-closed-doors hearing, which began last month and lasted several weeks, saw the company argue that it was unlawfully DISMISSED FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE in August 2004, even though 80 per cent of the new school had been completed."

You'll have to "glue" the above URL back together. Do not add any spaces.
