Importance of safety here at Ashville

Working in construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world because of the countless risks and hazards of building sites. Working from heights, mobile plant handling heavy loads, operating dangerous machinery, and working around potentially hazardous substances and hazardous materials — such as asbestos — can expose construction workers to the risk of injury and work-related health problems.

Building sites also pose the risk of falling objects and collapsing structures. Hot work hazards — such as welding, cutting, soldering, and any activities that involve using heat or open flames — are also key areas to assess as potential construction health and safety risks. Updating risk management on-site should be an ongoing process to ensure construction companies stay compliant with ever-changing legislation.
