Questions for construction site employees
Working and being present near earthmoving equipment involves many risks. In this Toolbox we devote attention to this topic. In addition, this toolbox identifies mitigating measures.
Ensure that these risks are minimised.
Collision hazards and distraction by smartphones
For additional information, see the toolbox: Can you see me, can I see you and the toolbox: Deliberate use of smartphones
Too many activities per m2 and time pressures
Some situations are predetermined before you start working at the construction site. For example the schedule and the space available for you to work in. Be aware of the risks of a tight schedule and a small workplace and forward reports of unsafe situations.
For additional information, see the toolbox: GO app and the toolbox: Relax! Tips for reducing work stress
Poor lighting
A broken or missing lamp may not immediately cause an accident, but remains a high risk, especially around mobile equipment. If you encounter a workplace that is too dark, prepare a GO! app report and solve the problem: order new lighting and, for example, extra reflective vests.
