The serious nature of common construction jobsite hazards typically involved in such work, in terms of the relatively high frequency and severity of worker injuries, should dictate special efforts by top construction management to establish and conduct conspicuous, high quality safety programming for the benefit of all persons at their jobsites.

Because workplace safety is so important in regard to construction work, it is essential that initial responsibility for overall jobsite safety be clearly accepted by one party with the authority to initiate and accomplish what is required to achieve jobsite safety.

So users, what are the top 10 challenges for safety while construction?

Electrical Injury

idea posted by Devarajan Venkataraman Construction-Heavy, DLF

Overhead and underground electrical lines are dangerous to construction workers. Electrical equipment should be frequently inspected. Energized electrical circuits in buildings pose problems that can be solved by attaching grounds, turning off power or using lock out/tag out systems that allow a worker to lock an electrical source while working on electrical equipment, preventing another person from inadvertently energizing circuits while work is being done.
