Bottom Line On Construction Safety Equipment
Sometimes we think one of the hardest parts of managing construction is trust. At the end of the day, you need to entrust your employees not only with their job
The shoe is provided with a toe cap to protect the foot from falling objects. This test is carried out to ensure that there is enough safety clearance ( as per a specified value in the norms ) below the Toe cap afteran impact of 200 joules.
SAFEHAWK also performs a series of sole flex testing, subjecting the sole to a constant cycle of 30,000 flexes. This test ensures that the sole of the shoe dose not break while being subjected to normal foot flexing and movement.
The Toe cap also protects the foot from compression loads. According to Indian and European standards, the clearance below Toe cap after applying 15kN compression load shoud not be less than specified value.

Head protection is required in almost every industry where there is a risk of being injured from falling objects or when working in area of restricted head space.
SAFEHAWK range of safety helmets offers the combination of exceptional comfort, simple integration of additional personal protective equipment and modern stylish design.
Falls are among the most common causes of serious work related injuries and deaths. Employers must set up the work place to prevent employees from falling off of overhead platforms, elevated work stations or into holes in the floor and walls.
The basic compliance requirement in construction is that worker footwear is non-slip and puncture-proof. Since construction sites are often full of heavy things that can fall and break one’s toes, safety-toe footwear is highly recommended. If you’re worried these features might make the boots too heavy to wear comfortably.

Safety protective equipment at work is more than just protective clothing. Depending on the job, tools can add an additional level of safety to a worker’s daily activities.
For electrical workers, non-conductive tools are essential. These tools are made from non-conductive materials, and keep the user from getting shocked or electrocuted if they encounter a live wire.
For workers who work with sharp objects, appropriate gloves can help protect them from lacerations. However, using safer blades can offer additional protection from accidental cuts. While Slice’s® safety blades are designed to be safer to use, most ceramic blades are just as sharp as their metal counterparts.
Employees who regularly use hand tools should use ergonomic tools when possible. These tools are more comfortable to hold for extended periods without causing fatigue or hard-to-treat strain injuries.
11 ways to keep your construction safe:
1. Start with safety training
All workers must hold a current white card before they commence work on-site. Site-specific induction training should also be completed by each worker, to point out any high risk areas and provide instructions for emergency management.
2. Minimise and manage risk
Due to the nature of construction work, it’s impossible to eliminate all safety risks. However, many common safety issues can be avoided by conducting regular safety audits and having procedures in place to report, assess and address potential risks.
3. Site security
Restricted site access should not only be put in place to simply protect equipment from damage or theft. Security in and outside of work hours is integral to protect pedestrians from potential construction hazards. This includes supervision or authorised site visitors.
Strict security and safety protocols will also protect contractors from liability and negligence in the case of a safety incident or security breach.
4. Safe work method assessment
A safe work method statement (SWMS) must be prepared for all high risk construction projects, before work commences. The SWMS should outline the scope of work involved, any potential safety issues, and how risks will be prevented and managed. By law, construction work must not commence until SWMS standards are met.
5. Use clear signage throughout the site
The site SWMS should be clearly displayed at the construction site, so that all safety protocols are readily available – including a 24 hour emergency contact number and a map or directions to the site office. Visible signage should also indicate site amenities (such as toilets), entry and exit points, and first aid or emergency fire equipment.
6. Entry and exit points
Separate entry and exit points should be established for heavy machinery/vehicle access, to strengthen pedestrian safety at high traffic points.
7. Compliant chemical storage
Chemicals need to be stored very carefully to minimise fires, explosions, asphyxiation, chemical injury and pollution on worksites. Use high quality, compliant outdoor storage solutions such as explosive storage cabinets to segregate chemicals and reduce spillage.
8. Environmental conditions
Extreme weather conditions can cause serious safety hazards. Your on-site emergency plan should provide clear guidelines for workers who need to stop work in the event of natural disaster, severe environmental conditions or other emergency circumstances.
9. First aid
For the construction industry, it’s best practice to provide one first aid officer per 25 workers. First aid kits and equipment must be placed in an easily accessible area on site.
10. Provide personal protective (PPS) equipment
In many situations an employer is obligated to provide PPS such as high vis vests, safety goggles and safety harnesses to construction site workers. To find what PPS you are required to provide for a specific project, contact Safe Work Australia.
11. Dropped objects
It is your responsibility to secure objects onsite and minimise the risk of them falling. This video explains the risks and how they can be avoided by putting preventative safety measures in place.
Construction safety doesn’t end once the project is completed, and your workers have gone home. All parties involved in the construction process have a responsibility in ensuring that the the right equipment and quality materials are used, so that safety risks are avoided long into the future.
