security risks on construction sites

The misfortune highlights the dangers that are omnipresent on construction sites. The frequency of accident on construction sites is about twice as high as in other workplaces, although the consequences are often heavier. As reports Deutsche Handwerks Zeitung, the constant change in the working environment in conjunction with high physical stress and unpredictable weather risk contributes to the risk of accidents.

The most common causes of accidents in the construction industry include:

• Transport and traffic: 33.2% of accidents
• extraction and production: 24.1% of accidents
• maintenance: 14.8% of accidents
• dismantling: 9.4% of accidents
• paths in operation: 5.9% of accidents

regulations on occupational safety

In order to ensure security at the workplace, there are a number of regulations that have to be used on construction sites. This includes the Occupational Safety Act and the construction site regulation (BaustellV), which are intended to improve health protection and security on construction sites. According to [Haufe.de] (https://www.haufe.de/arbeitschutz/sicherheit/das-s--die-Groessten-unfahren-auf-au-auf-au-auf-beast-beast-lauben-auf-auf-beast-lauben-auf-auf-construction site) crashes from the largest cause of the accident are among the most common fatal accidents. The handling of falling objects is also a serious danger.

These regulations provide for a security concept to be developed that evaluates the dangers on site. A strongly coordinated approach is essential to ensure the security standards and prevent accidents. Here the responsible attitude of employers and construction managers plays a crucial role, because they are obliged to clarify their employees as best as possible about dangers and to offer training on these topics.

The accident in Johanneskirchen reminds us of how important occupational safety is on construction sites. Every single life counts and responsibility for the security of all employees should always be in the foreground.
