Construction is a vast industry that creates beautiful infrastructures for cities, towns and countries. As we know the construction industry involves large number of labors and keeping them safe becomes an important issue as they involve working in a hazardous environment due to which they are under constant danger of being hurt or even danger of death.
Every construction company undertaking major or minor construction projects have constant pressure of their labors being competent enough to do the work without any injury. Their pressure includes having no knowledge or less knowledge on electrical components, airborne dust having toxins, collapse due to falling material or falling in excavation area, poor material handling, developing hand & vibration syndrome influenced by constant work on vibrating machines due to poor shift times, poor use of personal protective equipment’s (ppe), slips & trips, unawareness on moving objects, working from height, safety procedures etc. Faults in even one of these factors will cause the construction company facing fine, ban, imprisonment, cancellation of contract etc.
