CONSTRUCTION

SAFETY GROUP 3
Introduction:
CONSTRUCTION and CONSTRUCTION SITE
1. What is Construction in
Engineering?
It involves the design, development
and supervision of a city or region's
buildings, roads and power supplies. It
deals with any type of infrastructure,
including roads, railroads, bridges,
tunnels, facilities, airports, ports, dams
and other utilities.

2. What is a Construction Site?
A construction site is an area or piece of land where construction work is taking place.
Sometimes construction sites are referred to as ‘building sites’. This usually implies that
buildings or houses are being constructed, whereas ‘construction site’ covers a wider scope
of work. This could refer to anything from a house extension to a landscaping project, road
or bridge construction or a huge engineering project, such as the Crossrail development or
the creation of a new power station

SAFETY construction site, or the workers at a

construction site, as well as making sure that
the finished product of construction meets
required safety standards.
 Importance of CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
While the initial reason for improving construction safety may be
to comply with workplace safety and health regulations, the main
importance of construction safety, is it lessen the number of safety
hazards and incidents. This is vital because safety hazards and
incidents weaken the company’s reputation among industry
professionals and regulatory agencies and can incur huge financial
costs.

and fatalities around the world.

Falls, Slips, and Trips 02 Noise 04

Closely related with working at heights, While the idea of noise as a construction safety risk
falls, slips, and trips are often may be surprising, statistics in the UK show that an
estimated 17,000 people annually suffer from hearing
associated with ladders.
conditions due to excessive noise at work.
 Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome 05
Construction workers are primarily at risk of developing
HAVS due to the
prolonged use of vibrating tools and equipment such as
concrete breakers, hammer drills, and grinders.
Manual Handling 06
High-risk manual handling involves not only hand-arm
vibration but also repetitive, continuous, high, or sudden
force, repetitive movement, prolonged or awkward
posture, and whole-body vibration.
Collapsing Trenches 07
A trench is a narrow excavation made below the surface
of the ground. According to OSHA, trenching work presents
serious safety risks to all workers involved, with
Collapsing trenches or cave-ins posing the greatest risk
as they are more likely to result in worker fatalities than
Other excavation-related incidents.
Electricity 08
Exposure to electricity has long been
recognized as a construction safety risk,
With electrocutions being the most deadly.
 Asbestos 09
According to HSE, asbestos is responsible for
over 5,000 workplace deaths each year, with
many construction workers dying from
mesothelioma (a type of cancer) in 2018 due to
past asbestos exposures.
Dust 10
Silica dust is generated from
the blasting, cutting, drilling,
grinding,and polishing of common
construction materials such as bricks,
tiles, concrete, and mortar. Heavy and
prolonged exposure to silica dust can
cause lung cancer, silicosis, and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
or COPD.

What are warning signs?
Symbols that communicate warnings and notify
individuals of the presence of hazards or dangers in an
area. Some examples are:
● Fire protection equipment. Danger, high risk of
injury or death
● Moderate risk of injury. Guarding devices
● Caution statements. Minor risk of injury
● Safety equipment or information
● No immediate hazard

The importance of good signage
OSHA regulations
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest one in the entire Solar System. This
planet's name has nothing to do with the liquid metal, since Mercury was named after the
Roman messenger god. Despite being closer to the Sun than Venus, its temperatures aren't as
terribly hot as that planet's. Its surface is quite similar to that of Earth's Moon, which means
there are a lot of craters and plains. Speaking of craters, many of them were named after
artists or authors who made significant contributions to their respective fields. Mercury
takes a little more than 58 days to complete its rotation, so try to imagine how long days
must be there! Since the temperatures are so extreme, albeit not as extreme as in Venus, and
the solar radiation is so high, Mercury has been deemed to be non-habitable for humans
