How can employers minimize the construction work risks?

To minimize the chance of injuries in their business employers should communicate their health and safety policy to staff, assess the risks, deal with any hazards promptly, and invite feedback from staff on security improvements.

Construction companies can minimize risks by taking a few steps, such as:

• properly maintain all equipment on the construction site, from earth moving equipment to hand tools
• provide adequate training regarding the use of equipment
• enforce safety protocol and procedures at the worksite
• identify environmental hazards and potentially dangerous substances
• respect worksite safety standards set forth by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
