Construction is the science of building, selling, or leasing building structures. Construction projects of
various sizes are done at different locations, to avoid workplace hazards at construction sites, care must
be taken to observe simple rules of what to do and what not to do at construction sites.
DO’s OF CONSTRUCTION
Construction companies must adhere to standard construction rules for the safety of men at
site and integrity of their companies.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Before you start the construction project, give sufficient instructions to workers on the safety requirement
of the job. Workers need to wear safety belts, safety shoes, safety helmets, and other safety equipment
ready.
Instruction on the use of this safety equipment should be given before the start of the construction project.
KEEP VISITORS AWAY
For security reasons, is better to keep visitors away from the construction site. Temporary fencing can be
employed to prevent visitors.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT MUST BE AVAILABLE
To prevent the outbreak of fire at the construction site, firefighting equipment must be available, and escape
routes must be always clear. Adequate lighting may be needed if workers will be at the site till late at night.
WORK PERMIT A MUST
A proper work permit should be obtained before starting the construction project. Appropriate authorities
should be consulted to seek government regulations on the particular building construction project
DON’T’s OF CONSTRUCTION
Some things should not take place at the construction site.
UNSKILLED SUPERVISOR MUST BE AVOIDED
Do not start work without the contractor’s skilled supervisors. Loose clothing should be worn close to
rotating machines or at heights. Inflammable materials, debris, and waste should not be kept close to the
construction site, do not carry out hot work close to inflammable materials.
If a safe working load marked on lifting equipment is not exceeded, and unarmored electrical cables are
not used at the construction site, then we can be sure of a safe working environment for workers at the site.
DON’T SCRIMP ON STAFF
It is super important that you invest in top-quality staff. As it will be all your employees who are working
on your company’s jobs and projects directly, they will have an impact on the results. And it will
certainly show if you are investing in the top people! So, it’s worth budgeting for high salaries so that
you attract some great talent to your team.
DON’T DO ANY SIDE PROJECTS
Once you set up your construction company, you might find that quite a few of your friends and family
members approach you about some jobs that they need to do. Of course, you might be happy to do
these for a reduced fee and cash in hand. However, it’s not a good idea to do these kinds of side projects
that are cash in hand. Whenever you work for money, it really does need to go through your books so
that it is a legitimate transaction.
