Building Safety: Unlock Your Construction Potential

Course overview

Construction sites continue to be the most dangerous workplaces in the world, owing to the fact that the majority of workers there are unskilled or semi-skilled. According to recent figures from the International Labor Organization (ILO), at least 60,000 fatal workplace accidents occur each year worldwide in the construction industry, amounting to one death every 10 minutes.

Construction injuries outnumber fatalities by a factor of ten. Collapse of under-construction buildings/scaffolding/structures/cranes/construction equipment, being hit by falling objects, falling workers, electrocution, fire burn-out, being hit by flying/rotating/pressurized/energized tools and equipment are some of the causes of injuries/fatalities on construction sites.

Construction safety is one of the most important factors that safety professionals emphasize. Workers are instructed in the safe use of construction tools and equipment, extra safety measures to take while working in hazardous construction areas, how to handle energized equipment, and how to utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) while engaged in construction tasks.

This Training Bee training course will provide learners with a thorough understanding of the standards, skills, and qualities for Construction Safety.

Lessons Learned

Emphasizing a “safety first” approach is critical for preventing accidents and injuries on construction sites. Every decision and action should put the well-being of employees and the community first.

Understanding the numerous dangers present in construction environments and adopting appropriate control measures are critical in creating a safe work environment.

Open and effective communication between workers, supervisors, and management is critical in developing a safety culture and ensuring that safety rules are followed.
