Many construction site mishaps are caused by struck-by or caught against hazards. These hazards result from using mobile machinery and equipment and vehicles onsite. The hazards can be controlled and risks minimized by taking a few simple precautions and training/remind all site workers on these hazards. Everyone needs to be visible and out of the blind spots. Perimeter protection and spotters help with reduce injury, property damage, and maintain continuity. Vehicle and equipment maintenance and inspection are also equally important.

Initially, we thought we would prepare this in the theme of ten safety commandments, but soon we discovered that we had twelve points we wanted to list. So sacrificing a title that may have been more attractive in order to present a product we feel is more complete.

SAFETY IN USE OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINARY AND EQUIPMENT.pptxShyam Sundar Roy
Safety is of paramount importance in the construction industry, particularly when it comes to the use of machinery and equipment. Construction sites are inherently hazardous environments, and the improper use of machinery can result in severe injuries, property damage, and even loss of life. This presentation aims to emphasize the significance of safety practices and provide essential guidelines for ensuring the safe use of construction machinery and equipment.

1. Hazard Presented by Heavy Construction Equipment
Heavy construction equipment contributes to
approximately 100 construction site workers deaths every year.
The main causes of such accidents include: ground workers struck when a vehicle is reversing
or changing direction, equipment rollovers that injure the operator and ground workers crushed
by falling equipment from backhoes, buckets, and other moving construction vehicles.
To prevent this kind of risk, workers should follow all construction safety guidelines necessary to
eliminate the exposure to such injuries and accidents.
Trucks on construction sites can be particularly dangerous because of the confined space of the
site.
Workers involved in construction work where trucks are present as well as heavy vehicle
operators should work with extreme caution and beware of the hazard at all times. Some basic
safety tips to remember are:
Drive with Extreme Caution, especially when Carrying a Load
Reduce Speed in Poor Travelling Conditions and on site adhere to speed limits.
Beware of pedestrians, remain in the areas zoned for heavy vehicle use
Abide by Truck Load limitations to avoid capsizing
Maintain Good Visibility at all times, if you cannot see clearly, do not continue.
Be trained on emergency procedures such as when equipment Fails or bad weather
conditions prevail
