How To Make A Construction Site Safety
Instruction
Identify and assess any workplace hazards by performing a "walk through" of the site and write down anything that may be considered unsafe. Determine ways to alleviate or correct any problems to make the construction site safe.
Train all personnel in work site safety and safe operating procedures, either on-site or at a training facility. Search the Internet to see if online instruction is available. Training should include proper lifting techniques to help reduce common back injuries sustained on the job.
Identify and mark any hazardous materials. Determine any risk involved to personnel. Label and store any materials deemed hazardous in proper containers and secure them in a safe location. Post precautions for handling nearby.
Inspect equipment to be sure it is working properly. Be on the lookout for unusual noises and jerky movements. Report any problems immediately and do not operate the machinery until repairs have been made.
Use harnesses and other 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. Be sure OSHA standards are met. Inspect all equipment and replace any items that are in poor or unsafe condition.
Prepare for an emergency. Emergency response preparedness is an important element in making a construction site safe. 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.
