Tips for Construction Workers
To stay safe while on the job, keep in mind the following safety advice:
- Always wear your protective gear. This includes head protection and sturdy, rubber soled, closed toed shoes. This will help prevent injuries in the case of an accident, particularly from falling objects.
- Know what you’re working with. If you are working with lead paint, get your blood checked frequently. If you are working with dangerous chemicals, wear a face mask and avoid inhaling the hazardous fumes.
- Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure your path is clear before carrying large or heavy loads. Do no balance things on ledges or windowsills. Watch out for exposed wiring or holes in the ground.
