Construction worksites can be dangerous, and cutting corners during construction is a recipe for disaster. Here are three safety tips for a safe construction worksite.
Compliant storage: Hazardous chemicals and other flammable substances must be stored correctly to minimize the risk of fire, explosions, injury, and pollution. Use compliant storage solutions for chemicals in order to reduce spillage.
Equipment handling: At a construction worksite, the risk of equipment tipping or rolling over is always high when loading or unloading. Make sure that ramps are cleared and straight. Workers should ensure there is plenty of room between them and the equipment being loaded or unloaded in case of an emergency.
COVID-19 prevention: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest challenges at a construction workplace is keeping social distance while upholding other safety protocols. Construction companies must adhere to COVID-19 safety requirements mandated by the city or state where they are working. Every employer should also develop a COVID-19 workplace safety plan.
