Construction Site Safety

In the past 25 years, over 2,800 people have been killed whilst working on constructions sites, which highlights why construction site safety is so important.

Although inconvenient sometimes, this is why health and safety regulations and risk assessments are so vital, as they can reduce the magnitude of hazards possible on your site. When it comes to improving your construction site safety, small operational changes may be required, as well as additional safety products.

Fire safety is just one important aspect of health and safety on your construction site. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays an enormous role in improving individual worker safety.

Protect Your Workers

With a wide range of activities being carried out on your construction site in unison, it also brings an array of dangers, risks, and hazards to counteract.

When there are overhead hazards which are a falling or bump risk, then safety helmets are perfect. When you make sure to select the appropriate head protection then serious injuries are prevented, whilst ensuring it doesn’t hinder specific activities and remain comfortable.

Similarly, safety boots and shoes will prevent impacts to the wearers’ feet causing a major problem, whether it’s from dropping something on your toe or a more serious accident.

When you’re using dangerous chemicals, working in temperature extremes, or handling equipment which can cause serious injuries to your hands, then gloves can reduce the risks. Ensuring to select gloves which suit the job and the wearer will protect your workers. In fact, gloves are also available which increase grip levels to enable improved productivity.

Working with particular equipment and materials brings their own hazards, which you must protect against.

Eye protection and respiratory protection equipment will prevent fine dusts, vapours, and other small materials or gases, which can cause anything from minor irritation to major health implications, from entering the body.

And because construction sites and other industrial environments can be noisy with equipment, hearing protectors are essential to reduce sound levels which can cause temporary and permanent hearing loss.

Perhaps most important to construction site safety is to ensure all workers are seen, regardless of lighting levels or the vantage point of others. Reflective clothing helps to make people as visible as possible. From complete outfits to individual items, and to suit all weathers, there is no excuse for not being seen.
