Job sites can be EXTREMELY dangerous, and all sorts of hazards are ever-present at every construction site you may step foot on. In the US alone, over 1,000 workplace deaths occur each year in the construction industry - that's equal to multiple construction-related deaths EVERY DAY. Additionally, thousands of injuries occur every year - many of which can be life-altering and career-ending. That said, most injuries can be avoided by understanding the hazards that are present onsite, along with the precautions that should be taken before any work - or even supervision - takes place.
Construction managers must understand the many types of hazards that they'll likely come across at some point in their careers, along with how they can be approached with safety in mind. Construction managers must also understand which preventative steps have to be taken ahead of time to mitigate the risks these safety hazards present. Let's go through 12 essential job site safety topics that all construction managers must know about and why they're so important to understand!
