Ensuring job-site safety in construction projects involves more than just policies—it requires a structured approach. Here's a three-step process that every construction team should implement: 1️⃣ Safety Site Orientation: Prepare your team for specific hazards and conditions they'll face. From OSHA standards to emergency protocols, setting the right expectations is crucial. 2️⃣ Site Walk-Around: Physically identify and discuss potential hazards on-site. This step ensures everyone understands the layout, emergency exits, and more. 3️⃣ Job-Site Review: Continuous monitoring throughout the project to address emerging hazards and ensure ongoing safety compliance.
