In Acordance to Health and Safety Policy statement of Company

 

Knowledge

Before any worker — no matter his or her role or experience level, must be fully cognizant of the possible hazards. 

 

Training

Though most of a construction worker’s skills can be gained on the job, safety is one skill set that is best learned before works enter the construction site.  Experienced workers should be expected to refresh their knowledge of standard safety by attending regular training sessions throughout the year.

 

Communication

Accidents are more likely to occur when workers are unsure what to expect. Direct communication regarding the day’s goals and activities will cut down on surprises that could cause bodily harm. 

 

Documentation

There are some legal hoops most construction companies must jump through to begin building, and it is essential that all proper registrations and licenses are earned before work begins.

 

Proper Equipment & Machines

Construction workers equipped with improper gear and machines with lack of maintenace are bound to make fatal errors. Not only should each piece of equipment on the job site be ideally suited to the task at hand, but construction firms must make certain that all machinery and material are well maintained.

 Construction companies must also consider about facilities with supplies for their employees (water supply, rest room, etc).

 

Supervision

Every site must have a strong supervisor who is willing and capable of enforcing safety standards with no exceptions. This foreman must keep tabs on all employees throughout the day and correct those who fail to commit to proper safety procedures.

 

Resources for new practices

The accident rate would be even higher than it is today if it were not for construction firms willing to devote extra resources to keep their employees safe. With new safe work practices, all construction sites can be 100% accident-free.

Safety professional should be at the site ( safety officer & safety Engineer) to give safety inductuion before any body inter to site , with thisway all will understand the safety priority  at site .

Second at site every responsibile person ( Construtucion manger, Eingineer, foreman, supervisores) strictly follow to safety Rules than worker will follow other wise result will be not good.

if arrange mass  safety meeting after every two week it will more useful for safe site work.

01Oct15.....As a person who has spent his entire working life in the Oil & Gas industry where the yardstick is used by every other profession when it comes to many things including ' safety '.....you have to do what we do:

Anyone who breaks the rules pertinent to safety regulations no matter how trivial.....gets ' FIRED. '

That sends a message very loud and clear to others who may have some form of a lackadasial way of doing things.  There are idiots everywhere.....Go figure.

Much Obliged.......pwm

Regular training, educating, demonstrating, reminding, checking and showing various video clips of accidents which cost lives, damages to property etc., will understand  people well.

.9% of Incidents happen due to negligence or unawareness.

Its simple, safeguard your self, others and your property as per the guide lines issued by OHSE department.

Place at you work, is a home and people you work with, is your family. Educate them, because you need your place and family to be safe at any cost. Cheers!!!

the best way is to create a department who's main task is to implement safety rules.headed by a manager and group of especially trained and expirienced personnels who will oversee all activities on site regarding safety and all hazards.this department will provide the necessary and needed trainings for all the workers,

provide personal protective equipments and continues monitoring of all site activities.these are just few things and I know there are more.
