This document outlines potential hazards for workers at construction sites and safety measures to address them. It identifies common hazards such as falls from heights, trench collapses, scaffold collapses, and electrical shock. It then provides guidance on safety practices for specific tasks like scaffolding, fall protection, excavations, ladders, and equipment operation. Recommendations include ensuring scaffold and fall arrest systems can support weight, maintaining clear walkways, keeping spoils away from trenches, inspecting lifting equipment for damage, and using proper personal protective equipment. The document emphasizes safety measures for electrical work, traffic control, communication, and first aid preparedness.
