Construction Safety Measures And Tower Crane Inspections

By Essie Osborn


In a construction area, there can be a lot of things that could happen. There can be accidents where employees are involved or worst, if someone else who happened to just passed by met an unfaithful accident. That being said, extensive inspection is needed in every site. There should be warnings for by passers and safety gears for the workers.

One of the equipment that construction site have is the tower crane. It is one thing that they need to check every now and then. Tower crane inspections must be done every now and then. Here are some more instructions for you to make sure that the site is safe for everybody.

Do an all around inspection by going around the whole site. Make sure that you check on each and every part of it. Bring something where you can take note of the important details of every part of it. Especially those which needs immediate and big attention.

Train all your workers with the precautionary methods and other procedures needed. They need to knowledgeable about everything. If possible, conduct exams and drills to test if they were able to put in mind everything that has been provided to them during the training.

Let all your employees be familiar of the things that need extra attention and those that they need to handle with care. Make sure that they know how to carry some things that needs extra care. For heavy equipment, label it with the weight so they would know how many people is needed to be able to transfer it from one place to another.

Also, let workers know about the machines that does not work the way it should be. They should which ones are okay to use and which ones are not. You should have damaged machines placed in a room exclusively. That being said, segregating them should not be enough, they must also be fixed as soon as possible.

Provide everyone with safety gears. There should be hard hats, harnesses and other equipment for each one. You never know what can happen so it is better to be safe.

Make sure you have emergency kits. It should have everything that is needed for first aid. Also, you must at least have a little room on the site that will serve as your clinic. There should be employees who are also trained for medical purposes.

Do not just simply focus on the people under your project. Know that you really can not avoid people passing by your site or even stopping to look at the project at times. It is safe to place nets on the sides of the building in case of falling objects. That way, anything that would fall will surely not land where by passers will possibly stand or walk. It is best to consider them as your priority as well. They sometimes demand so much from you if anything happens to them.
