Construction work is one of the most hazardous jobs. Construction workers handle heavy equipment and materials. Depending on the project, they may be assigned to work on the 60th floor of a high rise building or build a flyover or bridge with just a safety belt and narrow scaffolding that keeps them from falling to their deaths. Before, construction companies were not so concerned with investing in safety equipment for their workers. There were a lot of accidents in work sites that resulted in severe disabilities to death for some of their workers. The advent of regulations and standardization bodies have cut down considerably on work related accidents because companies are more conscious of the safety of their workers and pedestrians affected by the company’s projects. Nowadays, construction companies strive for zero accidents in their construction sites and put up protective barriers to minimize accidents caused by falling debris to passersby.
