Half a million people are injured on ladders each year. Below are some quick tips from our Haselden Safety Department to keep everyone safe: • Ladders should extend three feet above the upper landing surface • The base of the ladder should be set back about ¼ the distance of the working height of the ladder • Always use 3 points of contact when ascending and descending a ladder #HaseldenConstruction #construction #constructionindustry #safety #safetytips #safetyculture

According to the Construction Safety Statistics (2024), Texas has one of the highest rates of construction worker fatalities in the United States, averaging over 1,000 fatalities. This alarming statistic shows just how much work still needs to be done to protect those who build our communities. Every life lost is a reminder that safety must be our top priority on every job site. By enforcing strict safety protocols and ensuring that every worker is properly trained and equipped, we can help prevent these tragedies. . . . #KYRO #KYROAI #BuildWithKYRO #ConstructionSafety #SafetyFirst #ProtectOurWorkers #BuildSafe #SafetyMatters #ZeroAccidents #JobSiteSafety #SafetyInConstruction #SafetyAwareness #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyStandards #ConstructionLife #SafetyCulture #PreventFatalities #TexasConstruction

Forklifts are vital in most of the facilities where we do maintenance projects. Facility condition impacts safety in the environment, operational efficiency, and durability of these assets so it’s important that maintenance of areas such as floors, ramps and docks are prioritised. For those who are responsible for safety at their company, we wanted to share this article with some helpful information about the top 12 forklift safety hazards & how to avoid them. https://lnkd.in/ePW4y4pN #Construction #Sambrocc #Industrial #HealthAndSafety #Building #Property

I’m not familiar with the legislation in Qc, but, O.Reg 213/91, section 104 provides details with respect to requirements concerning the recommended safety measures below. “On the morning of the accident, a worker from Construction FGK Inc. was refilling the diesel tank of a crawler bulldozer, which was parked approximately five meters behind a dump truck. The truck driver, seeing a hydraulic excavator turn in his direction, mistakenly believed he was signaled to join the excavator operator. After checking his mirrors and failing to see the worker or the bulldozer, the driver began reversing the truck. The worker was struck and crushed between the truck and the bulldozer. Emergency services were called, but the worker was pronounced dead at the scene.” “The CNESST immediately ordered a halt to all work involving heavy vehicle reversing manoeuvres on the site. To resume work, Construction FGK Inc. was required to comply with subsection 2.8 of the Safety Code for the Construction Industry (CSEC) and develop a safe work method for managing and coordinating heavy vehicle manoeuvres. The CNESST identified two primary causes for the accident: 1. Lack of management of reversing manoeuvres: The dump truck, operated by Ronald O'Connor Construction Inc., performed a reversing manoeuvre without proper oversight, resulting in the worker being struck and crushed between the truck and a parked crawler bulldozer. "The lack of management of the reversing manoeuvres resulted in the dump truck performing a reversing manoeuvre while a worker was present in the danger zone and in the truck's reversing path," states the report. 2. Deficient work organization and communication: The investigation highlighted significant deficiencies in the work organization and communication during the start of the shift. "The work organization associated with the start of activities at the beginning of the shift was deficient, particularly with regard to coordination and communication," the report notes. To prevent similar accidents in the future, the CNESST recommends several safety measures: * Plan vehicle traffic: Eliminate or restrict reversing manoeuvres and implement safety measures to protect workers on site. * Traffic plans: Develop and display a traffic plan on sites with ten or more workers, updating it as necessary to reflect changes. * Communication of safety measures: Ensure all personnel are informed of site safety measures and traffic rules. * Marking work areas: Clearly mark taxiways, setbacks, and work areas. * Use of flagmen: Employ site flagmen to direct reversing manoeuvres in areas where people are present if no marked area is designated for such manoeuvres.”

Every year, National Work Zone Awareness Week highlights the need for increased safety measures in work zones to protect both road workers and motorists. The initiative brings to light the risks associated with construction and maintenance areas on roads and bridges, emphasizing the collective responsibility we share in preventing accidents and fatalities. #WorkZoneSafety #SafetyAwareness

Following a four year period that resulted in a rise in serious injuries and workplace deaths from falls from heights, a safety blitz has produced nearly $1 million in fines for businesses refusing to comply, with some of the incidents seen during investigations labelled as "simply unacceptable".
