2. 7 Crucial Construction Site Safety Measures
Every Contractor Must Know!

3. Required personnel protection equipment (PPE) must
be worn at all times when on construction or renovation
sites at Princeton University. At a minimum, each
employee is required to wear a hard hat and safety
glasses. High visibility safety vests with reflective
striping are required when employees are exposed to
vehicular traffic.

4. 2. Follow Environmental
Guidelines.
Environmental standards are typically set by government
and can include prohibition of specific activities,
mandating the frequency and methods of monitoring, and
requiring permits for the use of land or water. Standards
differ depending on the type of environmental activity.

5. 3. Keep the Work Area Clean
Keep all walking and working surfaces clean and clear of
debris. Clean as you go to prevent build-up of debris and to
minimize the amount of time needed to clean a larger mess
at the end of the day. Watch for debris in stairwells. Identify
designated areas for storing tools and materials. Out-of-
place objects such as leaning lumber, plywood and other
materials can cause trips and falls. Stack materials orderly
and secure them so they won’t fall . Clear away protruding
pipes, lumber, rebar or other materials that could cause
injury. Bend over or remove nails that are sticking out of
lumber. Provide adequate lighting.

6. 4. Ladder Safety.
Maintain a 3-point contact (two hands and a foot, or two feet
and a hand) when climbing/ descending a ladder. Stay near the
middle of the ladder and face the ladder while climbing
up/down. Use a barricade to keep traffic away from the ladder.
Keep ladders free of any slippery materials.

7. 5. Lifting Precautions.
Focus on keeping lifts between hand and shoulder level,
avoiding any lifts from the floor or higher than shoulder
level.Adjust loads to ensure they can be pulled in and lifted
close to the body.
Use the assistance of dollies or utility carts, when available,
to move objects that would require lifting and carrying more
than a few feet.
Avoid lifting bags or boxes that weigh 50 pounds or more by
breaking the load into smaller, more manageable loads.
Use mechanical aids, whenever possible, to help cart, lift,
and stack.

8. Many of the common construction hazards can be contained
or avoided if proper safety training is provided. Aside from
the obvious benefit of keeping workers safe, a safe
workplace will reduce overall construction costs. For
example, proper safety training can reduce insured losses,
administrative penalties/fines and litigation and attorney’s
fees.

9. 7. Risk Management System
Risk management is the process of determining the risks
present in your business and evaluating the procedures to
minimize their impact. In construction, the process involves
planning, monitoring, and controlling instances of risk. As
the center of the process is your risk management plan, a
document that details the risks and your processes for
addressing them.
