Published on Jan. 31, 2023

In construction projects, construction site safety is a very important issue. Every day, workers on construction sites are exposed to various aspects of hazards. These hazards include.

1. Falling from heights.

2. Electric shock injury.

3. Object impact.

4. Mechanical injuries.

5. Collapse accidents.

6. Fires: building fires and smoking.

Because of these hazards, construction has always been a high-risk industry. Therefore construction site safety is a necessary concern for all business owners. This requires clarifying the possible hazards on site and then using professional PPE to avoid accidents.

Next, we will introduce the types of PPE often needed on construction sites.

PPE for Construction Site Safety

1. Safety Helmet

Any head-related hazards can be fatal, so the head is the part of the body that needs the most protection. Safety helmets are the most commonly used head protection equipment on construction sites.

PPE for Construction Site SafetyAt T-safety, our quality safety helmets are made of ABS high strength material. The protective brace inside the helmet can effectively cushion the energy generated when an object hits, thus effectively protecting the worker's head from falling objects. In addition to sturdiness, lightness is another criterion for choosing helmets. This is so that workers do not have any discomfort even when wearing it for a long time.

2.Safety Shoes

Having a safe working environment for the feet is the most important thing on a construction site. It is closely related to the workers' ability to move freely. That's why we make safety shoes the second requirement for safety on construction sites.

There are many types of safety shoes, such as steel toe shoes for toe protection, insulated rubber boots for anti-static, etc. Depending on the working environment, the right safety shoes should be chosen for workers to achieve maximum protection.

3. Safety Vest

Although most construction work is done during the day, there may still be night work. With poor vision at night, it is likely to cause accidents or dangers if workers are not spotted first during the construction process. The biggest role of safety vests is to provide eye-catching reflections to alert others to the presence and actions of workers.

4. Safety Gloves

Workers are using their hands all the time to work, move things, cut, etc. If the hands are injured, it can greatly affect the workers' efficiency and may even affect their lives. High quality safety gloves are essential at such times.

5. Safety Glasses

Although workers' eyes are not exposed to as many hazards as their heads or hands and feet, they can still be injured by large amounts of dust and particles. Especially for workers responsible for cutting, flying debris can be terrible for their eyes. Use safety glasses/goggles to protect the eyes.

Conclusion

In construction safety, these protective gears are really what every worker must need. They not only protect workers from personal injury, but also make their work more comfortable.

Regarding how to protect workers' safety, besides wearing professional PPE correctly, it is also necessary to raise workers' awareness of safety protection. With these two points, workers can work safely on construction sites.
