Construction work can be particularly hazardous. Personal protective equipment, Fire safety, Electrical safety and other precautions are essential for safe construction work.
Barriers, guards, and warning signs are required to ensure safety against existing hazards. There are many types of barriers, such as tapes, guard rails, handholds, cones etc. Signs that state DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION should be placed at necessary areas. Make sure that these signs are legible, visible and brief and in a language that is understood by the local workers. Any area that poses a physical threat to workers/pedestrians requires barriers or guards. Areas such as Stairways, Hatches, Chutes, Open Manholes, Elevated platforms, Areas with moving machinery, Excavation sites, Construction sites, Temporary wall or floor openings, Doors opening into construction sites etc.
