Health and Safety in construction

Health and safety in construction are vital for protecting workers from severe injuries, fatalities, and long-term illnesses (like silicosis, asbestos-related diseases, dermatitis) caused by falls, heavy machinery, and hazardous materials, while also safeguarding the public, improving productivity, reducing costs (fines, delays), enhancing company reputation, and fulfilling legal/ethical duties.

Effective safety protocols, training, PPE, and site management are crucial to manage inherent site risks.
