CONSTRUCTION HAZARDS Article by Mr.P Mohan - Sr.Faculty., NIFS

The construction activity involves many jobs to be carried out like excavation, structural works, demolition, concreting, installation, flooring, plumbing, carpentry, etc. Due to the interaction of different works that are carried out a limited space, the risk involved in any hazard multiplies.

For example:

If people working on moving materials from one location to another location may not notice the wire newly laid for the purpose of electrical work, which they may trip and fall. The people working on electrical work may be aware but other people may not be aware of Frequent rotation of workers, even if skilled, many times result in accidents due to new environmental and project execution conditions and also the risk associated with any hazard changes with one construction site to another construction site even if the same work is carried.
