Frequently Asked Questions
Induction Before Work
Induction is a legal requirement on every construction site that enhances specific safety and health rules and hazards. An induction also contains a risk assessment of activities to be done. Do not start work before acquiring an induction.
A Tidy Site
Clear obstructions, especially on the escape and access routes. Keep the work area tidy and free from clutter and equipment to prevent slips, trips, and falls. Make sure the site is clear of projecting nails, sharp objects, sharp blades, and metal scraps.
A Safe Work Area
When you arrive at work, the priority is to scan the work area and identify any existing and potential hazards on the site. Once you have ensured a safe access course to the site, a practice not to work in unsupported trenches, at heights without fall prevention guard rails, and below cranes.
Do, however:
- Know all emergency response plans
- Learn safe lifting methods
- Get training first before working in confined spaces with electrical equipment or Tagout/ lockout machinery.
- Be informed about chemical hazards that can be found on-site and WHMIS 2015
Follow Construction Safety Signs
Learning and identifying construction safety signs is crucial. They serve as references to relevant demarcation areas on the site that are high risk, have traffic, or are emergency courses.
Wear PPE at All Times
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) serves as the best quality defense against any contact with hazardous material on the site. Protective gear gives you the advantage to demonstrate personal responsibility to ensure your safety priorities.
Hard hat helmets protect the skull from injury. Safety boots protect the feet and give them a grip. PPE also enhances comfortability as you work; for example, knee guards soften kneeling postures, and gloves soften sharp edges.

Equipment
Visually inspect all equipment to see whether they are in good condition before using them. If something does not look or work right, report it rather than try to alter it yourself. Do not attempt to repair equipment unless you have the skills or are authorized to do so.
Do not tamper with equipment, guardrails, machine guards, or scaffold ties. To ensure safety, use the right equipment for the right task.

Ask if in Doubt
Review and ask when needing guidance on doing something or when you think something is wrong. Fill in an incident report, a near-miss report, or simple word of mouth to let a supervisor know of or assist in, any problem identified on-site, sexual harassment, or age and gender discrimination.
Reporting concerns this way sheds light on the problem of securing safety implementation efforts and avoiding accident occurrence. It is better to be safe than sorry.
