Occupational safety in the planning phase of buildings and facilities

Two engineers are reviewing and discussing the design sketch

Building owners and architects, real estate management companies and engineering offices use the expertise of Arbeitssicherheit Hillebrand.

The eight most important points in consulting from an occupational safety perspective:

  1. Risk assessment: A risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of working conditions in order to identify potential hazards and take measures to reduce risks.
  2. Supplementary risk assessment: The conditions and potential hazards are different for every project. A supplementary checklist ensures that all aspects of occupational health and safety are observed and documented, even in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
  3. Protective equipment: Protective equipment such as helmets, gloves and safety shoes can help to prevent injuries on the construction site.
  4. Safety plans: Safety plans should be drawn up to ensure that everyone involved on site is aware of the risks and safety measures.
  5. Training: Site-specific health and safety inductions must be demonstrated for all site employees to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely.
  6. Safety equipment: Safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and emergency equipment should be available on the construction site in order to be able to react quickly in an emergency.
  7. Workplace design: The design of the workplace must be organized in such a way that the safety of employees is guaranteed.
  8. Communication: Open communication between all those involved on the construction site helps to identify and eliminate potential hazards.
