Henry October 07, 2017 Reviews Leave a Comment

Security in civil works is fundamental to keep the integrity of workers and perform jobs better.

In this article, we give you important recommendations for implementing effective security measures in your civil works.

Today we will talk about safety in civil works, as we all know a work or a site where it is being built, it is a very dangerous place and we must take the necessary preventive measures to avoid accidents that in extreme cases can even reach be fatal.

There are in some countries normative and precise safety specifications that all civil works must comply to the letter, the intention with this article is, in general, give a review of the main security measures that must be implemented in a work.

Safe and healthy working conditions are not by chance, so it is necessary for contractors or employers to develop a safety policy that establishes the safety and health standards to work safely and efficiently. This policy should clearly state the rules as well as the sanctions to which they will become creditors who violate the policy or regulation, some advice to have a safe work can be the following:

Personal protection

All personnel who work in civil works, as well as visitors, must carry the basic equipment consisting of helmet, boots, lenses, and gloves. The use of this equipment must be mandatory since it is designed to protect them from damages or injuries that may originate during the construction processes; the authorized security personnel makes the revision of this equipment from the entrance.

In case the worker does not comply with the ordered requirements of equipment and personal protection then he must be denied access and entry to the work until he meets these requirements, the main characteristics are as follows …

  • Hull: Must be a tough and non-perforated case.
  • Boots: They must be “working” and with non-slip soles.
  • Lenses: They should not have perforations.
  • Gloves: Important if you work in cutting of materials or if you work with steel and concrete
  • Vest: If you work near a road or road or if you work at night, it is essential to wear it, this should be reflective.

Handling of tools and equipment

Handling the tool and equipment is also a safety measure that must be clearly established, the entire tool must always be loaded in a tool belt and never in the pockets as it can cause injury in the event of a fall. Always try to use tool and equipment in good conditions; it is not advisable to use tools in poor condition as they can also cause injuries and accidents. In the case of building ladders of work, they must take into account the following considerations …

  • Construction ladders must be constructed with wood in good condition.
  • The width of the ladder should be at least 60 centimeters.
  • The ladder should be supported and secured on firm ground and never on stones, bricks or other elements
  • You only have to lower and raise one person at a time.

Safety to Access Road

In construction works, always we find a certain section of road full of mud, especially after rain. The temporary mats are used for road paving, the convenience for the passage of heavy vehicles and various construction machines. It is an auxiliary common tool used to help vehicles, devices, and walkers to move on the muddy ground, an ideal solution to spend the dirty street. High-quality bog mats provide excellent adhesion to the surface, preventing the sliding of the personnel and vehicles (including caterpillar), including the movement of tracked vehicles. JWA provide bog mats, which is special compared to the other construction mats, prevent spills or other damage to the site, and improve construction site stability and safety, particularly to protect construction workers and service engineers.

Scaffolding and signboards

The scaffolding must be strong enough to support the weight of the personnel and their tools, all elements must be anchored and fastened, and the scaffolding must have its own guardrails and guardrails. Scaffolds should only be used while the work is being performed and should be removed when finished.

In the case of signs and warnings must be located at the entrance of the work and must contain all internal regulations, in the case of work being done excavations should be cordoned off the area and place the relevant signs and notices.

Order and cleaning

The building materials will be stored or stowed as far as possible from excavations, slabs, steel cutting areas, etc. Likewise, a minimum of one-meter wide corridors must be left between storage areas. Another important point is to make clear that materials and/or tools must never be left on the floor of the worksite that can cause damage or inconvenience to third parties. Finally, it is advisable not to allow flammable products to remain open or in transit areas.
