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
Frequent rotation of workers, even if skilled, many times results 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.
The flow of work patterns changes during the construction cycle, with new safety hazards getting added up during the cycle, so in this complexity the following things to be implemented in improving safety and decreasing the risk
The following measures need to be looked into for improving the safety in construction:
Reductions in manpower rotation, this increases the scope for giving proper safety training and monitoring. This increases safety adherence in all activities.
All construction activities should be broken down into phases and Six-dimensional study should be done so that the interaction of different safety risks will be considered
