Construction Safety

The construction sector is essential and an integral part of infrastructure development, boosting our country’s economy. Construction work includes building houses, roads, tree forts, workplaces and repairing & maintaining infrastructures. Construction work includes many hazardous tasks and conditions such as working at a height, at an excavation site, noise, dust, power tools, and equipment. The most common fatalities are caused by the fatal four: falls, being struck by an object, electrocutions, and being caught in between two things. Within the construction field, it is essential to have safe construction sites. Construction safety helps an organisation achieve its obligations to fulfill legal requirements and Operational Control requirements of ISO 45001:2018
