SAFETY REMINDER

Why all the safety reminders?

Health and safety is one of the most important considerations you should take before any construction project gets underway. You should always make sure that all aspects of health and safety have been considered before you step foot on the construction site. Health and safety in construction are particularly important because the industry is prone to hazardous situations and can be dangerous at times. 

Injuries in Construction:

There are tens of thousands of injuries that occur every year. Whatever the aspect of construction :

• falls from height;
• falling objects;
• exposure to dangerous substances;
• carrying heavy loads;
• dust inhalation;
• injuries from machinery;
• working in confined spaces; and
• motor vehicle accidents.

There are 2 ways that you can help to prevent these accidents from happening:

• Training – many accidents occur on the construction site because workers have not had the proper training before starting on a project. Effective training will make sure your employees are aware of the risks on the construction site.
• Tools – the right safety tools can also make a huge difference in the workplace and help to avoid any unnecessary accidents. Safety products such as fall arrest harnesses and safety clothing can help to reduce the risk in the workplace.
