It is most important for construction companies to protect workers from dangerous environments. One common construction injury involves falling from elevated work environments. Employers should plan to install guards, nets, straps, and other fall protection equipment for construction workers.
When a building or other structure is under construction. Construction companies need to protect workers from falling objects. Nets, temporary roofing structures, helmets and other protective gear can prevent serious injury from falling objects.
Construction zones can get messy and cluttered during ongoing work. If proper clean up and work safety protocols are not followed, workers can trip over equipment, debris, and other materials generated by the construction work, which can cause serious injury or harm.
Construction equipment can generate large amounts of energy and power. The use of this equipment can cause debris to travel at a high rate of speed. Without the proper guards, signage, and distance protocols for specific working environments, the likelihood for a serious injury to occur is high.
OSHA or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration provides specific guidelines for what constitutes a safe working environment. The risk for injury increases substantially when property conditions are in violation of OSHA standards.
