In the construction industry, “safety” is more than just a matter of regulations. It’s a core principle that directly impacts workers’ lives, project continuity, and the organization’s image. Therefore, creating a safety culture is essential and should be instilled at all levels of the organization.

🔎 Why is safety important?

1. Protect the lives and health of personnel. Construction sites are full of risks. Wearing protective equipment, inspecting machinery, and following proper procedures can reduce serious accidents.

2. Reduce damage and hidden costs. Accidents can lead to work stoppages, equipment repairs, medical expenses, or even legal lawsuits, all of which impact the overall project.

3. Enhance the organization’s image. Companies that prioritize safety will gain long-term trust from customers, partners, and employees.

✅ Guidelines for establishing a construction safety system:

• Safety Orientation:

New employees or project team members must understand the organization’s procedures and standards.

• Complete use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Helmet, safety shoes, goggles, reflective vests, etc. must be worn at all times on the construction site.

• Develop a risk assessment plan.

Identify risk areas within the project. Along with preventative measures before starting actual work.

• Regularly inspect equipment and machinery.

All tools must undergo inspections and maintenance as scheduled.

• Establish emergency communication channels, such as fire exit signs, contact numbers for responsible personnel, and easily accessible fire extinguishers.

🧭 Create a culture of “Safety is Everyone’s Business.”

• Leaders must demonstrate a serious commitment to safety.

• Encourage employees to report risks or deficiencies honestly.

• Reward teams who adhere to outstanding safety standards.
