TEXT: HOW TO MAKE A CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFE

Construction sites are hazardous by nature. The problem is not that the hazards and risks are unknown, it is that they are very difficult to control in a constantly changing work environment.

The environment is not only dangerous, the materials and chemicals that are used also pose a health threat to construction workers and others at the site.

Many construction sites include dangerous equipment and potentially harmful materials to workers or pedestrians around the work site.

To make your construction site safe, you can minimize the hazards while following the instructions:

• Identify and assess any workplace hazards. Determine ways to correct any problems to make the construction site safe.

• Train all personnel in work site safety and safe operating procedures.

• Identify and mark any hazardous materials. Determine any risk involved to personnel. Label and store hazardous materials in proper containers.

• Inspect equipment to be sure it is working properly. Report any problems immediately and do not operate the machinery until repairs have been made.

• Use safety equipment when performing roof work or working on scaffolds.

• Provide personal protective equipment to all employees, including hard hats, safety goggles and boots, work gloves, ear plugs (or another form of protection) and face masks. Inspect all equipment and replace any items that are in poor or unsafe condition.

• Prepare for an emergency. Operators and site workers should know what to do in case of electrical, mechanical or power failures.

• Protect the public by barricading the construction site during work hours. After hours, lock down all points of entry.
