Safety

The implementation of a safety and health management system is much more challenging in the construction industry. For workers to perform safely, they must understand the hazards and risks they face on the job site. Given the transient workforce in the construction industry, certain workers may not always be as familiar with the work being done nor the hazards involved. That’s why Acme Construction ensure that the workers participating on a project have the right skill set and knowledge to complete their tasks safely.

We also ensure that everyone is aware of common hazards in construction, such as “focus four” of fall hazards, caught-in or between hazards, struck-by hazards and electrocution hazards, and how to prevent those types of incidents.

Toolbox talks are one tactic which we apply to educate workers. We provide workers 10- to 15-minutes informational sessions before a shift that addresses the hazards associated with the tasks they will be performing and how those hazards can be mitigated to help workers perform their tasks safely.

When Acme Construction undertaking any project, it gives a comprehensive understanding to all involved of the work to be performed, any requirements that work must meet and who is responsible for what tasks. These gains added importance in the construction industry, since many sites have contractors from multiple employers working side by side, and often dozens of workers performing different tasks for various periods of time.
Acme believe that in construction sites, personal protective equipment (PPE) is the first line of defense in protecting workers from hazards. So, we provide PPE to the workers and train on every component of the equipment in order to use it properly.
