Construction
of the house u
- health and safety regulations
The
construction manager and the construction works manager are responsible for the
organization and execution of construction works in a manner safe for
contractors and other persons staying on the construction site. Engineers,
foremen and brigadiers are subject to the construction or construction works
manager. Due
to the variety of works performed on the construction site, at the same time by
workers employed by the general contractor and subcontractors, it is necessary
to appoint a coordinator of individual works. The
construction manager is responsible for this. He
may appoint an occupational health and safety coordinator, but this does not
absolve him from responsibility for whether health and safety regulations are
observed at the construction site. The
coordinator should supervise individual works and take care of the safety of
persons staying on the construction site. Individual
teams have to cooperate with each other and inform about the risk of threats
that may occur during their work.
BPH
at the construction site - for the sake of contractors
Although
the construction manager is responsible for compliance with health and safety
regulations, it is worth paying attention to the safety and comfort of workers'
work.
It
is not difficult for an accident when team members walk in light summer
footwear, eg in flip-flops - suitable footwear is reinforced non-slip and
anti-puncture, protecting feet against injuries. Health
and safety regulations on the construction site say that helmets are the
necessary protective equipment. However,
the real problem is not having the right number of headgear, just using it. It
is a good idea to use protective goggles, you never know when filings, chips,
dust or ordinary sand will get into your eye. Before
the noise, which is easy on the construction site, shield the protective
headphones, which will save hearing. The
construction of the house should be carried out using protective gloves. They
should be selected for the type of work performed. Safety
gloves category I, i.e. simple models, apply only if there is a possibility of
minimal risk. Gloves
classified in category II are used when the risk is medium, while gloves III
are necessary in case of irreversible or fatal risk.
The
24-hour presence of workers will ensure safety and the necessary supervision on
the construction site. In
their accommodation will work, among others motorhome
or caravan. The
social room is treated, by the Construction Law, as a temporary building object
- placing it requires notification and defining the date of its demolition.
