Construction workers face a large number of hazards in the workplace, especially on residential work sites.
One of the main problems faced by construction workers is the danger of a fall but this hazard can be alleviated with effective planning. Before beginning the work, the employer should identify which areas could be most at risk of a fall and try and reduce the risk. One option is to use pre fabricated walls, to save workers spending so much time high up and also they can install fall prevention devices such as guardrails and the use of a harness and connector line which will stop a worker falling if he or she loses their footing.
If there are any large holes or ditches on a construction site, these should be well lit at night and roped off to prevent anyone falling in them.
