SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION
The Construction Industry

 Cause of Deaths:
 Falling through fragile roofs and rooflights
 Falling from ladders, scaffolds and other work places
 Being struck by excavators, lift trucks or dumpers
 Being struck by falling loads and equipment
 Being crushed by collapsing structures
Construction Accidents
 56% falls from height
 21% trapped by something collapsing or overturning
 10% struck by a moving vehicle
 5% contact with electricity or electrical discharge
 4% struck by a flying/falling object during machine lifting of materials
 3% contact with moving machinery or material being machined
 1% exposure to a hot or harmful substance
Site Specific Issues:
 Working at Height
 Personal Protective Equipment
 Training
Safe Ladders
 Never allow more than one person on a ladder
 Use tool belts or hand lines to carry objects.
 Do not lean out from the ladder in any direction
 If you have a fear of heights – don’t climb a ladder
 Do not allow others to work under a ladder in use
Ladder Angle
Use at angle where the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is ¼ the working length of the ladder (length along ladder between the foot and top support).
Safe Use of Harnesses
 Fit – Harnesses have maximum weight allowance
 Are operatives wearing them correctly
 What can they anchor too?
 Need secure anchor point
 Choking – bad practice
 Lanyard Type – Traditionally sold with fall arrest lanyard
 Have operatives enough room to fall?
 Can they be rescued?
