being protected from harm or other non-desirable outcomes
safety
It is the result of safe equipment usage, worker protection from hazards, regular site inspections, and risk assessments.
manpower safety
Space: Enclosed or partially enclosed spaces with limited access,
confined space
Procedures and routes to safely evacuate the construction site in case of emergencies like fire or natural disasters.
emergency evacuation plan
Procedures and precautions taken during digging or trenching activities to prevent collapses or cave-ins.
excavation safety
to prevent falls from heights, such as guardrails, safety nets, and personal fall arrest systems.
fall protection
information about chemical hazards to ensure the safe use of materials on site.
hazard comm
activity involving open flames or producing heat, such as welding or cutting, requiring special safety precautions.
hot work
control energy sources and prevent
accidental startup of machinery during maintenance or repairs.
lockout/tagout
A document providing information on the
properties and safe use of a chemical product.
material safety datasheet
Equipment and clothing worn to minimize
exposure to hazards.
ppe
Evaluation of potential risks and hazards on a construction site to implement preventive measures.
risk assessment
Proper installation, use, and inspection of temporary platforms to support workers and materials during construction.
scaffolding safety
Regular examination of hand and power tools
tool inspection
Short, informal safety meetings conducted on-site to discuss specific safety issues or concerns.
toolbox talk
Designated area equipped with first aid supplies and personnel trained
first aid station
system for classifying and labeling hazardous materials in the workplace.

chemical, or radiation agents.
eye and face protection
Noise Reduction Rating
hearing protection (ear plugs- less expensive, disposable; earmuffs- more expensive more durable)
removing harmful materials that may enter
the body via the lungs.
respiratory protection (air purifying respirators, half-face, full face, powered air purifying respirators, self-contained breathing apparatus)
Gloves is the most common hand protection in a construction works.
arm and hand protection (chem, biohazard, abrasion, friction, temperature protection)
Steel-toed shoes and Rubber boots are examples of common protective footwear.
foot and leg protection
may cause risks
Scaffolding(Loose or weak planks can shift or break, causing a
fall.),
Concreting(Cement can cause ill health by skin contact, eye contact, or
inhalation.),
Excavation(most common hazard
at any work site is the threat of cave-in.), Welding(exposure to metal fumes and ultraviolet
(UV) radiation.),
Loading/unloading
types of risks

(a) Any risk to an employee’s safety
and health
(b) Any risk to a non-employee safety
and health
