Construction Site Safety Rules

12/19/2022

1 Comment

 
Picture
​Construction workers face more frequent and dangerous occupational safety risks than most other employees. Without constant vigilance, construction sites are filled with dangerous machinery, environments, hazards, and chemicals that can cause serious to fatal injuries.
Guidelines for Construction Site Safety
  1. Immediately report problems
    Train workers to report defects and near-misses right away. Only management can solve problems. The sooner problems are reported, the less likely they will cause accidents or damage.

  2. Wear PPE
    Workers and visitors should use PPE to lessen the risks they face. Eye protection, hands protection, ears protection, feet protection, and legs protection are all examples of PPE.

  3. Pre-inspect equipment
    Before starting work, check for damaged tools and equipment.

  4. Have a plan
    An emergency response plan tells employees what to do in disasters, fires, and other incidents. Manage emergencies, answer questions, and report risks, quality issues, and near misses.

  5. Use the right tools
    Incorrect tool or equipment use causes many accidents. Use proper tools. Use the right tool for faster, safer work.

  6. Give instructions
    Train new employees or independent contractors. Employees-to-be are trained in site operations. Talks in the workplace about safety in the tool shed are another method. Once a week or every day before work.

  7. Don't endanger others or yourself
    Actions trump words. Missteps can be fatal on construction sites. Work safely. Actions have consequences. Building sites are dangerous. Throughout your shift, be safety-conscious.

  8. Chemical storage compliance
    Store chemicals carefully to prevent fires, explosions, asphyxiation, chemical injury, and pollution. Compliant outdoor storage solutions, such as explosive storage cabinets, can segregate chemicals and reduce spillage.

  9. Avoid danger zones
    Safety first! Look around. Be mindful. Don't work at height without guardrails or fall prevention. Don’t enter trenches unsupported. Secure access. Avoid working under dangerous crane loads.

  10. Follow signs
    Health and safety signs alert employees and visitors. Strategically place them. Construction workers should know safety guidelines and signs for prohibition, required warnings, safe conditions, and fire fighting equipment.

Conclusion
The construction industry's goal is zero accidents, injuries, and deaths. Construction work may become more popular with proper safety precautions in place. Keep workers aware of safety issues, train them on them, communicate and discuss ways to improve safety programs and concerns, and document these issues. 

Workers must also have the right equipment and proper supervision, be innovative in finding solutions and be transparent if a problem arises.

It makes sense to use the proper tools and equipment to ensure safe and fast work on a construction site. In my opinion, this applies to both small tools and heavy equipment. My father-in-law needs to rent a crane for his construction project, so I'll make sure he chooses the best one for his specific plans.
