SAFETY OF ROAD WORKERS
There are a few guidelines given in IRC-SP- 55-2014 in clause number 7.10,8.2.6 and 9.5 which
state about protective gears for workers as under .
 Safety helmet- to protect against falling objects.
 Safety shoes- to provide protection from any hazzard posed by the activity being done .
 Hand gloves- to protect from personal injury during the work.
 Dust mask- for proper respiration in the area exposed to dust .
 Goggles- to protect the eyes of workers engaged in welding works.
 Safety jackets-

SAFETY OF ROAD WORKERS….
