Workplace Safety During the Planning Phase of Buildings and Facilities

Two engineers are reviewing and discussing a design sketch

Building owners and architects, property management companies, and engineering firms rely on the expertise of Arbeitssicherheit Hillebrand.

The eight most important points to consider from an occupational safety perspective:

  1. Hazard Assessment: A hazard assessment is a systematic evaluation of working conditions to identify potential hazards and implement risk-reduction measures.
  2. Supplementary Risk Assessment: The conditions and potential hazards vary from project to project. A supplementary checklist ensures that all aspects of occupational safety are taken into account and documented, even amid the hustle and bustle of everyday work.
  3. Protective equipment: Protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, and safety shoes can help prevent injuries on the construction site.
  4. Safety Plans: Safety plans should be developed to ensure that everyone involved on the construction site is informed about the risks and safety measures.
  5. Training:Proof of site-specific occupational safety and health training must be provided for all employees on the construction site to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely.
  6. Safety Equipment: Safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and emergency supplies should be available on the construction site so that a quick response is possible in case of an emergency.
  7. Workplace Design: The workplace must be designed in such a way as to ensure employee safety.
  8. Communication: Open communication among all parties involved on the construction site helps identify and eliminate potential hazards.
